## Summary

Brian Eno has praised Roxy Music’s 1973 album *For Your Pleasure* as an enduringly satisfying record, calling it “absolutely brilliant” more than 50 years after its release. The article highlights the album’s importance both as a key work of glam-era experimental rock and as the final Roxy Music record to feature Eno before he left to pursue his influential solo career.

Released as Roxy Music’s second studio album, *For Your Pleasure* combined Bryan Ferry’s theatrical songwriting with Eno’s electronic textures and tape manipulation, alongside contributions from Phil Manzanera, Andy Mackay and Paul Thompson. Although it was not a major commercial success at the time, the album has since gained critical recognition and is often regarded as a defining example of the band’s adventurous early sound.
