    Big fan of Eno's ambient stuff, but this is very disappointing. Sounds like Eno has spent too much time rotting his brain with liberalism and anti-semitism and not enough time working on his music. Too bad.

    The Ship is delightful in every fashion. [No. 131, p.55]

    If you can get past the haughty lyrics on "Fickle Sun (ii)," for instance, then its minimalist piano notes will surely impress. And yet, even that song's musicianship sounds downright conventional compared to preceding tracks "Fickle Sun (i)" and opening track "The Ship," a 21-minute composition that begins with solemn synth moans like a distant vessel's horn.

    It's delightfully ponderous. [May 2016, p.48]
