#1236 Roxy Music - Avalon

Well, this is the trajectory these guys were pointed on. I thought their early Eno-era stuff (don't tell Roxy Music fans) was actually a little too odd and angular to enjoy, then they hit their stride melodically circa Country life, and then they got old and kinda pretty and barely there and just /fine/ on this, their last album. This is perfectly listenable, gliding along on synth cloudbeds, clicking along under Ferry croonin', pretty, very pretty, useful as background music to low-key life moments, but nearly completely forgettable 2.5/5
