first Rock Bottom headphone/vinyl listen in years

It's such a hard vibe to describe, not quite spacey or spiritual really.. kinda transports you to a metaphysical realm or some s*** that I don't think anybody in rock had tapped into yet.
Especially not relentlessly sustained for the entire runtime. Eno would next year and then helped Bowie get there in '77. Radiohead decades from now would be pinching their most unsettling moves from it.

Constructing this post modern soundscape architecture or whatever thats already doing the most absorbing thing you've ever heard when suddenly the bottom drops out and you're thrust through some temporal abstraction black hole that literally will take your breath away and deeply unsettle you. A handful of moments on here that are so expertly crafted its mind boggling.

As much of a Neil, Eno and Gene Clark stan as I am with peaks I will rank higher than Rock Bottoms, still gotta give Wyatt AOTY probably cause this thing as a whole was on another level;

im always so bad at ranking s***/making lists only album i don't really connect with as much is On the Beach but that's because Neil Young was always playing growing up. Still tho

Same but I feel like growing up to Neil deepened my connection to his music

It does rival Tonight's The Nights for heaviest feels of his or almost anybody's career

I never quite understood why Neil felt he had to "head for the ditch" after Harvest but now that Ive heard way more context for the period I understand why he didn't want to exist in the same lane as hyperbland Eagles and Jackson Browns etc.
