If lightweight, it is often pleasant and amusing, if not utterly engaging.
-
Another Day on Earth is a more personal album from the ambient avatar, a recording of rare and meticulous maturity.
-
Though various tracks meander ("A Long Way Down") or are just unlistenable ("How Many Worlds"), Eno demonstrates that he's the architect who built the house most electro geeks walk around in aimlessly.
-
BlenderA record that encourages global consciousness shouldn't sound so isolated and chilly. [Aug 2005, p.110]
-
While there’s no disputing the attractiveness of its well-polished recording... it’s patchy and... in places, disturbingly adult-contemporary.
-
Entertainment WeeklyIn a pop world where everything feels amped up, who could have imagined that this once-chilly music could sound so comforting. [17 June 2005, p.79]
-
FilterAnother Day... slithers easily into the company of his greatest releases, with jaw-dropping melodies and flawless, Passengers-era production, creating a soundscape as ethereal as Another Green World. [#16, p.90]
-
Los Angeles TimesA fascinating look at planet Eno. [10 Jul 2005]
-
MojoThis is perhaps Eno's most personal record to date. [Jul 2005, p.102]
-
Paste MagazineInvisible melodies--sometimes too invisible--give shape to songs like wind billowing through curtains. [Oct/Nov 2005, p.143]
-
Another Day on Earth is produced to within an inch of its life, with layers of intricate detail and the most ethereal synth washes imaginable.
-
Q MagazineDespite some affecting songs and intriguing production quirks, it lacks that kind of magic [of his 1970s albums]. [Jul 2005, p.113]
-
A low-key but often lovely disc.
-
The majority of the vocals are so tweaked and treated, morphed and modulated as to simply lose any sense of the man himself.
-
Spin[A] cosmos-goosing masterwork. [Jul 2005, p.104]
-
Another Day On Earth is more blank than frank, a journey through a hollow land, more discreet than it needs to be. Imagine a recording in which every human error has been scrubbed, like coffee grounds off a formica counter.
-
Another Day is nowhere near as invested with ideas as Eno's name-making work, but its easy pleasures still rub and float away.
-
The joy of hearing Eno's hushed, statesmanlike singing voice again is one thing, but the hymnal This and funky Under match anything in his canon.
-
The WireA richly nuanced album, and eloquent in its restraint. [#257, p.57]
-
It is, like so many other pop albums, the kind of thing that grows on you and ferments into an incredible entity.
-
UncutExceedingly pleasant, if hardly groundbreaking. [Aug 2005, p.104]
