It doesn't hold up as a whole album, but there are some really good tunes on that one. "Streetlights" is definitely in his Top 10 and probably Top 5.

The bad outweighs the good. There are 3-4 good songs

I would agree. Similar to his post SE output for me.

I have a copy of that.
i remember going into a record store after already having been in one, so i checked my bag.
as i left, i got my bag and drove back to boston from providence. when i opened it, i realized that they gave me the wrong bag. that was in it, and some Bowie promo interview CD on Ryko, and maybe something else. I still can't remember what the other person got in return

Emeralds - Just to Feel Anything
what a great record. not really sure if this is anyone's favorite patch of dirt to play in, but if you like electronic/ambient/drone/krautrock stylings, get soiled.

The opening of Jay's streaming show made me want to hear some Badfinger. Haven't pulled this one out in a long time. I have No Dice on the Apple label, but this one is my go-to album for Badfinger.

this is a nice quasi sequel to apollo. lack of pedal steel is big but tiny piano melodies with that unmistakeable lanois/eno background wash is a great alternative

one off band from robert fripp/toyah willcox. ive never completely warmed to king crimson but fripps combo of musical and technological talent is uniquely undeniable so this sort of art pop context for him is cool to hear

ive tried a few of lanois's pop oriented solo albums recently and theyre fine but hes clearly not as gifted a singer or songwriter as he is a studio hand. i cant say enough good things about his pedal steel on here though

has to be one of the strangest releases ive heard from an act whose fame is built on straightforward pop songs. maybe a bit too much spoken word to be in steady rotation for me but musically its gorgeous
