if you lived through/were interested in the avant in the 70s & 80s, it's a classic . you don't have to like it, 'course. but it's a classic for good reason, and easily holds up to drop-the-needle real time scrutiny in discussion & analysis, which is why plenty of folks still take it seriously (i'm no huge fan but just sayin' that its place in music history is not unjustified, at all )
interesting maybe / maybe not that it was designed in part to have exactly the response that DannyL provides here down to the letter: righteous consumer indignation, OH THE OUTRAGE! THE INDIGNATION! HOW COULD HE! etc at someone having made a record such as this
kicks the shit out of that eno crap, btw , in fact there's a thread right there : brits suck up eno's farts while nyers were chewing on MMM and sister ray and suicide ... i know which one i'd choose if i had to do it again !
