Station To Station

Interesting. Based on my friend's review, I thought I was going to hate it but I didn't. I wouldn't want t listen over and over again, but it was nice in the background.

this was pretty good but doesn’t live up to the more famous stuff. also as far as i can tell the white supremacy wasn’t reflected in the album itself but the knowledge of the thin white duke persona did have a slight effect on my enjoyment

Unique piano arrangements and good guitar parts. I would need a second listen to understand all the lyrics. The songs were a bit too long and seemed to drag a bit.

Es war gut nur durch den Stress habe ich mich nicht wirklich darauf fokussieren können

Pretty standard Bowie fare for the era. Still good, but doesn't really pop.

Ok

Mostly upbeat and funky. Like a lot of his stuff, heard the titles of the song in the song a lot. I can imagine being in the 70s listening to this album while pacing my living room making a hard decision about love. Liked tracks 2,3,4 a lot.

Hyvä levy, tuskin jää pyöritykseen kuitenkaan. 3/5.

Es war ok aber Country is net mein typ

It's Bowie, but it's not my favourite Bowie.

Took a nap to it and it felt like the perfect way to listen.

Day 11 — David Bowie — Station to Station (1976) Listened: Mar 6–7, 2026 Genre: Art Rock / Glam Rock / Proto-New Wave Vibe: Cold, hypnotic, theatrical — cocaine-fueled late-night Berlin energy with soul influences Highlights: • Station to Station • Golden Years • Word on a Wing Impression: Not necessarily my style of rock but I was able to enjoy it after a few listens. Enjoyed Golden Years right away while others grew on me. Rating: 3.1/5 Keep songs? Yes Revisit album? Yes

mid

Highlights: Golden Years, TVC15, Stay, Wild Is the Wind It was ok, but not something wow. I only had Golden Years liked before listening so I expected a bit more from the record. Most of the tracks are drawn out so there are only six on the record. The style is kinda standard for the time so no points for that either. Wild Is the Wind was a nice closer. I won't be revisiting this as a record, but some of the highlights will remain in rotation.

Probably the weakest of the Berlin trilogy for me, but Wild Is The Wind is fabulous.

Não sei bem. Tem momentos muito legais mas também me distraí muito ouvindo. Talvez numa proxima tentativa faça mais sentido!

One of the few Bowie albums that isn't completely abstract and garbage. The songs themselves are a little too long individually though. I dod think there was some really good guitar work throughout. Standout Songs: Station to Station TVC15 Stay

Bowie! Did not realize how jazz he could get infused in his music.

Achei essa álbum chato

Nice

nao é do meu gosto musical

Hasta ahora el que mas me gusto pero ninguna canción se quedo conmigo.

Cumple

Définitivement pas le meilleur album de David Bowie. Certains moments l'album arrive à te prendre mais il y a beaucoup de longueurs. Encore une curiosité musicale comme aime le faire Bowie. Note : 3 À réécouter : Oui

Всего за год до знакового Low Боуи выпустил этот альбом, где он тоже экспериментировал со звуком и формами, но я его как не понимал раньше, так не понял и сейчас. Все какое-то очень странное, туманное, неуютное, как будто даже пустое. Контента много, особенно в титульном треке, но ничего не цепляет, не удивляет, не запоминается. Странный пик, и надеюсь тут увидеть его более удачные на мой взгляд альбомы.

Послушал Low и Station To Station подряд, и STS ощущается как проходняк после этого. В целом то звучит ок, но никаких ярких моментов, ни одна песня по-хорошему не запомнилась. 3.5, но в данном случае округляю в меньшую сторону

Лучшая песня: Wild is the wind Худшая песня: Golden years Намного хуже Low, но лучше Hunky dory. Скучно и монотонно, вторую песню не смог дослушать. Пара норм песен, остальное - порожняк

не лучший альбом боуи

😴😴😴

great.. solid 7 but i have to give 3 stars bc its not 4 stars im sure of that

It's not bad but I'm not a big fan of it. The music is great, let down by the vocals.

not my favourite bowie album

Meh, a little funky and done well with some fun sounds but ultimately not that interesting to me

Donnerstag, 26.02.2026 Auf dem Weg zur Arbeit, auf dem Weg von der Arbeit nach Hause

I mean I do like some David Bowie stuff, he’s done a lot of inspirational work. I’m just not keen on this album. His voice is marmite for me. Some songs it’s great in some it just sounds off. Music wise this album is great, can’t take that away from it. Just wants over excited when I heard the songs.

I know a lot of people consider this one his masterpiece, but not me. It's been a while since I've heard this one (like over 10 years at least), but my opinion has not really changed. It's good, but I don't really see myself relistening again anytime soon. Some great tracks, some ok tracks. Not what I really want from Bowie. The history/story behind this record is much more interesting than the music itself.

If I had to do a "Top 10 artists that *everybody* loves, but that I have never seen the appeal of" then this dude here would be top. Every time one of his albums appears, I dutifully listen, and then draw the conclusion that I must be "doing music wrong". This album is ever-so-slightly different though, because, as much as it pains me to admit, "Golden Years" absolutely SLAPS. The slightly sleazy vocal, the irresistible bass line, the "whop, whop, whop" AND the massive irritation to my wife when I kept singing "Golden Circle" to the same tune whilst on holiday in Iceland.

"Golden Years" is grating, the rest of it is decent.

leider langweilig, sorry david bowie

Only 6 tracks? Well, this one won’t take all that long to listen to a couple of times! A “perfectly fine” album. Nothing really special, although Golden Years is a good track. Not one of Bowie’s best.

Bowie's tenth album and took place in his 'Thin White Duke' arc. I've heard this one before but I'm not sure I've ever gone back to it after the first time. The Thin White Duke is a character of Bowie's I'm the least interested in. Most of the interest I feel in this arc is more about Bowie himself than his art from this era. There's a lot of different genres in here. Funk, soul, electronic, and rock. Overall it's that classic 'art rock,' electronic 70's R&B,' and 'space rock' that Bowie was so well known for. I always find this era's R&B nostalgic in a way. While I never grew up with it, my Grandad was so into it. Especially Bowie. Perhaps that's why I've never enjoyed R&B from the 00's onwards that I actually grew up with. The musical history makes sense when you listen to it as a through like but sharing a bunch of it through Grandad and then growing up with the 00's onwards' style of it. I dunno. So much of the album is fueled by and is about a drugs and the hallucinations that came from it that. Primarily cocaine. This was the Thin White Duke arc after all. But, perhaps with hindsight and reading over lyrics & interviews, it makes the album fascinating, frenetic, aloof, emotional, but dull. The emotion feels so earnest and I believe Bowie's words about the feelings he has but cocaine has such a elative emotion feeling to it that it that even with the emotions that come with the crash, it's a limited range of emotions. The stories in these songs are deceptive, full of passion, courage, dispair, and joy but through the filter of cocaine highs. Honestly most of the reflection and bredth of emotion you can find that came about during the making of this album came about afterwards, sometimes even well after the Thin White Duke character had ended. Bowie says far more looking back than he ever did in the haze. It might be why the Thin White Duke is the least interesting character Bowie had in my opinion. After writing that, I wonder if that's why "Stay" was the song I liked the most off this album. While I love the Jazz stylings in the guitar and drums cause I'm a sucker for Jazz, the song seems so careless in its desire. Directing it AT a person but framing it as a need for something but it being unknown if it's worth anything or even shared. Is there projection in there? I feel like no but you never can be sure in intpretation. Another reason I say no is, in an interview Bowie mentioned the song was written while he was struggling with the monotany of his cocaine addiction. Is this too much to write? Who knows. This is the first album in this series and perhaps it's a testament to Bowie's talent that it's so easy to ramble about it his work in it's meaning and the emotions felt.

It was fine.

I haven't listened to very much David Bowie; this is the second album I've listened to in full, but my impression of him so far is that the instrumentals are top class, The bass lines are catchy, The compositions are solid, but I don't feel neither here nor there about David Bowie himself. But I can appreciate him for creating a style of music that exists somewhere in between progressive rock, funk and pop. 7/10

If I were grading this by Ray's scale (the idea, I think, being that we should have about 200 each of 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s), I'd probably give this one a 2, but, on my scale, I'll give it a 3. I've never been a huge Bowie fan, but most of his stuff is solid enough, and this album is pretty decent. 2 of the songs I already knew (Golden Years, TVC15). The rest, after 1 listen, good enough, maybe a little forgettable. Actually, if I could, I'd probably give this a 2.5, rather than a 3. A little boring, maybe? Curious to know what you guys think.

Bien. No lo llegué a terminar. En algunos momentos me aburrió

Not the worst Bowie album I've been forced to listen to, not the best either. By his standards he seems remarkably not out of his mind or off his face for most of this one. Still talking out of his arse a lot of the time though.. saying that, Golden Years I enjoyed a lot. A bit of me feels like this should be more than a 3, but another part of me feels 4 is slightly too generous.. most of me doesn't care though. So 3 it is.

Not bad at all. Respect for this era Bowie and his ravenous hunger for coke. Golden Years is the standout. I also loved the unrelenting repetition in TVC15, though I would have thought a song about Iggy Pop's girlfriend being eaten by a TV would be more interesting. It's a bang average album from the thin white duke.

Not my favorite Bowie album, but a solid entry.

3 and a half. Better than yesterdays

Better than Heroes, but not flawless. ★★★½

2/9 First David Bowie album I've ever listened to today. Not bad

Not the best David Bowie album in my opinion.

So I'm starting to believe that Bowie was formulaic. Most of his albums have one smash hit and are then filled with a bunch of good songs that are thematically similar (although often have a different general theme than the smash hit, which is interesting over a catalogue but not necessarily an album). Here it's obviously Golden Years (although Stay can make its argument; it's a better song) and '70s glam rock. I actually enjoyed this album over the several others I've encountered in the project, and I'm just so surprised that the Thin White Duke full of thin white lines produced this, but I'm left not really knowing what to do with Bowie for the purposes of the project. Influence (like, overall Bowie's a 5, but this album in a vacuum is what, 2?) 3. Quality 4. Intangibles 2. Hits 3. I liked it more than I expected to even though Golden Years is a top 5 Bowie song for me 3.

Estuvo bueno, sinceramente estoy medio dormido asi que le debo otra escuchada

They did make me groove to them loved the song "STAY" particularly loved how it started out

Station to Station 3/5 Golden Years 3/5 Word on a Wing 3/5 TVC15 4/5 Stay 3/5 Wild Is the Wind 3/5 Overall Album 3.17

luv luv

Nejak som nenašiel potešenie v počúvaní tohto albumu. Od Bowieho mám radšej iné albumy.

station to station - definitely my first time listening to a song that's 10 minutes long...not a fan but i understand the appeal

Robert Dimery, a well-document David Bowie superman, had been petitioning to change the name of the Kennedy Center to the "Bowie & Kennedy Center." That plan was scrapped even after his amendment to call it "The Bowie & Trump & Kennedy Center." Once those plans fell through, he began considering renaming the Dulles Airport to "The David Bowie International Airport" and Penn Station to "The Ziggy Stardust and The Spiders From Mars Station to Station." Sources close to the Bowie enthusiast say his endgame is actually far more global. He will soon announce a petition to turn Christmas Day into what Dimery terms "a worldwide celebration honoring the greatest man who ever fell to Earth."

How does Bowie have so many albums on this list. I feel like this album is the equivalent of scratch paper. There are some interesting sketches and ideas, but that’s it. Nothing really landed for me. We know Bowie can do much better work, and it feels odd that his lesser efforts are rewarded on this site. Sorry Bowie!

Het eerste nummer was niet helemaal mijn smaak, maar de latere nunmer was alsnog goed van te genieten!

Alright. Got some.good sounds but doesn't hook me

His music is either super fun or pralines and dick. Oh well

It was good but not my favorite David Bowie album.

I really enjoyed a few songs, but other then that it was kind of repetitive

This was a Bowie album I had never really heard before. I like that is a quick and fun burst of funky jams. I have liked other Bowie albums much more, this one may take some more time to catch on with me.

Third (is it the last) Bowie entry? Arrangements are good but tracks run long..(too long for a couple of them). Favorite tracks? Golden Tears, Stay, ⭐⭐⭐ Liked it well enough

Ik hou van Bowie, maar eigenlijk zijn zijn nummers echt een beetje te repetitief voor mij.

Ok I guess

Golden Years is one of my faves (because of A Knight's Tale) but I hadn't heard the others.

I like Bowie but these weren't my favorites I would say.

Better than Coldplay

Great intro to David Bowie for me

Musically very good, just not a fan of his voice.

Fun to listen to! Not as big as Ziggy for me but some songs here I know and like!

Pretty standard Bowie?

2.5

Relaxing to listen to.

Some good songs . I found some parts boring though.

Pretty dense Bowie here, covering some interesting ground. I wouldn't consider it in my list of top Bowie albums for me, but it is undeniably Bowie. You're not going to hear a "Greatest Hits" track on here, but that doesn't mean it isn't worth a listen.

Enjoyed this. Fave song - Wild as the Wind

On first listen and paying attention to lyrics, I just heard lots of repetition; on second listen, I heard great guitar in the long opening title track, nice funk in Golden Years (the only song I knew) and beautiful interplay with bass and piano in Word on a Wing. Bowie reportedly said this album was about the stations of the cross, a concept with which I'm not familiar. Decent music, though, and not as wildly experimental as some of his other stuff.

Word on a wing favorite song

6/10… art rock / *1976

This wasn’t bad but I feel Bowie has better albums. His treatment of Wild is the Wind was nice.

Vibes: 2 Instruments: 4 Production: 4 Emotional Value: 3 Storytelling: 2 AC: 0 Stand Outs: Golden Years, TVC15 Overall: 3 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The songs felt a little repetitive, but I thought that the cover of Wild is the Wind was pretty sick. Also, dig the saxophone thing in TVC15 :)

This is good. And Bowie’s sound is iconic. But this challenge is making e realize I don’t need to love every album made by an artist that I admire. So far, I haven’t heard a Bowie album that didn’t have some misses. But, in fairness, I should listen to this again before settling on a 3.

Love a 10 minute title track opener

I don't get it. I think Bowie did better stuff before and after. It's a transition album that feels like a transition, setting up what comes later. A segue album?

“It’s not a side effect of the cocaine I’m thinking it must be love” by Fall Out Boy Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Great chunky piano.

A few great Bowie songs. Great piano music in last song. Classic Bowie.

Not my favourite of Bowie’s music, but still interesting. I don’t think I’d return to it

great vibes,

more like stasis to stasis by David Bore-ie music: hated. (⌐■_■)

I don’t know about this one. Golden Years does a lot of heavy lifting. I didn’t hate the rest of it or anything, but a sub-40 minute album shouldn’t feel like it has filler in the way this one does. The piano ballad stuff is kinda stinky. This is a generous 3.

De eniwsa Tracks: Word on a wing

Este album sería mejor si David Bowie hubiese cantado menos tbh. Sorry guy

Fun good album. Just not for me I think. But have to admit golden years is a banger.

q timing pra eu receber esse mds RIP DB FAVS (top 3): golden years, word on a wing, wild is the wind menções honrosas: TVC15 compraria o vinil: nossa o álbum é curtinho (de quantidade de tracks) e eu nem percebi!!! bahbahdoh. sinceramente? um álbum bem básico, acho q mais por ser assim curtinho... nota final: 3/5

probably his least good album imo

Bowie is art, but this isn’t my favorite of his.

Solid, even as a non fan

Terceira vez que registro a audição deste disco. As anteriores foram em dez/22 e out/25. Sempre o achei com uma sonoridade confusa, mas desta vez me soou melhor e com certo sentido de coesão. Bom disco!

David Bowie made me gay, I've been meaning to read that book actually.

It was a good album, however the songs weren't my personal favourites. I really liked the last song on the album Wild is the Wind.

I can picture myself listening to this at home while reading or having coffee. Great vibes but don’t know if it amazed me but i think i’ll have to listen it more

interesting bowie project. didnt love it but i enjoyed the music. really short!

Mad respect to bowie but not my genre.

MORE BOWIE AHHHH it's still Bowie so high floor, it was fine

David Bowie being a legend as it is and recognized by his work worldwide. I understand now why everyone likes him. He portrays in his album a lot of emotion and playfullness and also experimentation of instruments.

You wonder if Bowie just woke up one day with a particular sound in his head and went 'yes, this will be the next album'. I liked this well enough, not sure I can see myself revisiting it. Standout track: TVC15. I wasn't expecting to hear a voice repeatedly urging me to transition, nor for that voice to be Bowie's, but here we are.

Mid asf. Not bad thi

It’s Bowie! There so much of him! But it’s good. I like this

Totally okay

Listened on the drive home from Hecla. Liked his vocal range. Nice and short. Don't have a great comparison point because I don't know much of his other stuff. Didn't blow me away overall. Good record though!

Not my favorite Bowie album tbh. This was just ok, I didn’t mind it but nothing stood out to me.

It’s very good but I didn’t *love* it

A very Bowie album. The lead track blows and is a 10 minute long mess of space sounds and noise which kills the vibe but the other songs are solid, but not blow away. Would give 3.5

Bowie slightly more experimental. The last 5 minutes of the title song were great, first 2 minutes were a waste. I’d give this 3.5 but I wouldn’t listen to the album as a whole - there were some good ones that I’d listen to though

Favorite song : Stay

Lo escuché antes de dormir, ya se me olvidó. Nada que valga la pena volver a escuchar, plano.

I don’t think David Bowie has made the same album twice. This was good highlighted by Golden Years.

Definitely original. Not a lot of sonic enjoyment for me personally. “Stay”’was the highlight

It sounds too 80s

love bowie, this isn't my favorite album though

Heard it before. I'm glad I got a good album for my birthday. And from a fellow left handed Capricorn! It's not some massive Bowie favourite for me but it's solid and you gotta appreciate that it's quite short too. Straight to the point 3/5

3/5 - simpático

A good, solid Bowie album.

certain moments of brilliance but the mix can be too murky. can't seem to get into bowie.

david bowie is pretty good, but i don’t feel anything special about this album. some funky stuff, some mellow stuff. it’s still great because it’s david bowie, but nothing feels too out there. idk. favourite track “wild is the wind”

A bit of a crooner release by Bowie. Golden Years and TVC 15 are the tracks you'll remember and maybe the Alomar guitar on Stay but the other songs are a bit less memorable that some of his work. Goold album nonetheless.

It has been nine years since I first listened to this in my initial journey to listen to every Bowie album. I remember it being a departure from his previous couple of albums, but thinking it was fine. I still think it's fine.

Favorite songs: Station to Station, Golden Years

I liked it way more than i thought i would , i will add some songs to playlist but omg it is really long. I don’t like Wild is the Wind. my favorite is golden years and stay.

Not my favourite Bowie album, very uneventful for me. Not much nonsense, nothing interesting in the instrument value(compare to other Bowie albums, otherwise very interesting)

6/10 УРААА БОУЇ онеслі не люблю такі альбоми які ніби короткі але всі пісні на дохуїща секунд особливо ніхуя нее змінюється під час ~6 хвилин пісні and i start to get bored with the album overall

It was fine! Good tunes. Didn’t finish it.

Not terrible for David Bowie, this could play in the back ground.

Another ambitious set from the Thin White Duke that has its share of hits and misses. "Golden Years" is outstanding; "TVC 15" is good but a little tame (do yourself a favor and seek out the SNL performance of this song, which provides the muscle this version is lacking); the title track is also good though it takes a bit of time get up to speed. The material on the rest of the album is not particularly compelling, despite the fact that the performances by Bowie's backing musicians are uniformly solid throughout.

Nice

Really enjoy the tv song aha Before this golden years and the outerspace song were the only Bowie songs I knew, I enjoyed this album.

It’s good

*1976 *Only 38 mins long but 8+ mins is one song… *Some good stuff, especially Golden Years. *Enjoyable listen, but not anything particularly memorable. RATING - 6.5/10

I only knew “Golden Years,” a classic. Bowie is a musical genius, he brings interesting touches and artistry to all he does. I didn’t really connect with the other tracks on a first listen, which I’m learning is often a challenge for me. I read reviews after that this is considered among his best works, despite his drug addiction at the time. But for me, on a single listen, it was regrettably just a high 3.

157 Quiero creer que este no es el mejor disco de Bowie para escucharlo por primera vez (?). Piola, pero la mayoría de las canciones no me llamaron la atención.

Please give us the best of Bowie.

I understand the music is good but it didn't impact me much

Fav songs: stay and golden years

This has been my favorite of the Bowie suggestions so far. That's not exactly saying a lot, as I've found the first few disappointing. But I did think this was pretty good as a whole album. That may be what elevates it for me- it felt complete in a way the others didn't. While they may have had a good/great couple of songs, they weren't impressive otherwise or as a whole. This one is pretty much at a consistent quality all the way through, without anything dipping below good. Perhaps that is related to the limited number of songs on it (only 6 tracks), though the album is a fairly standard length (38 mins). Either way, he avoided having any bad songs bring it down. I'm not able to consider this one great, but I did like it well enough. I know there is more Bowie to come, so I think there might be better efforts from him on the horizon. For now, I am content to say I enjoyed this one. Overall: 3.3/5

Stay, wild is the wind and changes are my standout tracks. The rest of the album is a bit too honky tonk for me.

I have mixed feelings about David Bowie. Some of his material is timelessly brilliant; yet I’ve never really bought into the cult-like worship of him that some seem to hold. Having seen documentaries about him in the years since he died, I warmed to his personality (despite the silly fascist-flirting period he went through in his drug-ruined 1970s, around this time of this album). It seems to me he was a very well-read, thoughtful, and essentially generous person, with a quick sense of humour. He took himself less seriously than many took him. But quite a lot of his music/lyrical content is inward-looking and not especially penetrable. Station to Station falls in that category to me, but I thought it sounded better (and, to be fair, more accessible) on this listen than I’d recalled from back in the day.

This is probably sacrilege to many people, but apart from Station to Station and Golden Years I found Bowie's voice a little too flat. He has a strong voice when he wants to use it, e.g. on the first two tracks but elsewhere I was a little underwhelmed. That's a shame because the music accompanying him was good.

Well, today I got one of the 134 Bowie albums on the list. But I actually kinda liked this album. Opening track intro is beautifully written. Golden Years is actually better than I remembered. And it’s not too long. Still find Bowie’s voice not my thing but this was enjoyable overall

Very 70s, good Bowie but probably not my favorite album.

Definitely the sound I think of when I think Bowie. Has a lot of the sounds that I associate with the late 70s, early 80s. Pretty short album with only six songs, but each song is a bit longer bringing the album to a 38 minute run time. Nice break up of genre for me, most of my music these days is pretty heavy drums, rock, metaly music. Disco and funk were the words I was looking for, those are the genres that influenced a lot of this album. Apparently he does not remember making the album but it did happen to be his highest charting album and was a big influence for a lot of other artists. He discusses wanting to get out of the bright light that is fame while actively being in it. Rating: 6.4/10 Favorite song: TVC15

nothing to talk about

Not my favourite but not bad. Songs had a really driving feel all the way through and the production was excellent but not enough catchiness for me to come back

Stay - album highlight

Interesting mix of soulful/exotic music with introspective lyrics pondering Bowie’s religion/outlook on life. Some songs go on for a while long, but overall pretty good

I suppose I should have expected that a David Bowie LP would be coming sooner rather than later – the odds of one of his nine Book Albums showing up within the first 100 generations were greater than 50% and I'm currently at #91. Even so, the moment caught me by surprise on an otherwise unassuming Sunday! Expectations are an interesting thing because I feel like they can make or break a listening experience. I'm much more likely to positively rate an album that I had an unexpectedly good time with (take yesterday's Pentangle album, for example) than an album I expected to love from the get-go. Case in point, Station to Station is a good listen that suffered under the weight of it being my first David Bowie album. I've been waiting for this moment for such a long time and have seen so much praise thrown Bowie's way that no LP was ever going to live up to what I imagined it would be – the 38 minutes of music came & went and I just had an overwhelming feeling of "yeah, that was decent." I probably should have learned my lesson after I had a similar experience with Prince's Sign o' the Times just a few weeks ago, but I suppose I can't control the way my brain processes these things. At the same time, I could mentally fall back on that one being Prince's lowest-rated Book Album and that's not the case here – only two of Bowie's remaining eight are rated higher than this one. If there's a positive takeaway to all of this, it's that Station to Station isn't considered one of David Bowie's career-defining albums outside of this community (at least, not to my knowledge) – I don't see it being talked about nearly as much as as his first three book albums. If the Generator had given me Ziggy Stardust first and I felt the same way I do now, that might have seriously taken the wind out of my sails. If STS had to be sacrificed in order to recalibrate my expectations for my next Bowie album, I suppose it was a worthy cause! Highlights: Station to Station, Golden Years, Stay

Bowie's good. Golden Years is my favorite, title track is legendary but not a personal classic the way it is to some, and the rest are alright. do have to give some credit for just how ahead of the curve this one is, even down to the cover art. deserves to be one of the 1001? likely so

- Sigh… just found out he was another pedo, possible SA'er, and apparently wanted a fascist leader in England.. I thought I liked his personality and hits more than his body of work, but now I guess all I like is the hits. I typically find his albums a lot to sit and listen to - more proggy or jazzy than I like. This one seems more easygoing than most... it can feel very Roxy Music in parts. - Some nice instrumental support on the songs - guitar and keys, especially. - The thing that I like least about this album is that many of the songs are too long without evolving enough. I like the hit, Golden Years, but the repeated wah-wah-wah effect becomes a lot, especially at the end. (that said, that was some great whistle tone!) - Station to Station is okay, but also too long. I like how the beginning kind of hints at Golden Years (though it goes on so long at the start). When the lyrics kick in, and the poppy second half takes hold, I start to enjoy it more, but then it goes on too long again, without evolving at all. I’m not really sure the first and second half of the song really go together. - I love the W x x W songs. - I hate TVC15 - other than the piano, it feels like a joke to me. I also could do without Stay, and two songs is a pretty big portion of a short album.

I think i miss the point of this music i dont understand it

Pleasantly surprised by this album which I didn't know existed before this. Though that's not to see I knew all about his discography anyways. But I hadn't heard any of these songs before. A good album to listen all the way through to. None of the individual songs stood out to me as a highlight that I'd want to listen to on its own.

Not my favorite of David Bowie's album but it was pretty good overall. I think "Stay" is my favorite song off the album, it just resonated with me.

Long and Bowie

"Golden Hour"is on this album. Overall, it sounded good but it didn't wow like Ziggy Stardust did.

It’s…fine? I don’t want to hear it again. His delivery does nothing for me.

3.5/5

Not my favorite Bowie, liked the title track

not bad

Bowie had another persona for this album, The Thin White Duke, which was a stark contrast to the flamboyant, colorful Ziggy Stardust I learned about in the Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars Bowie album. The Duke is a much darker and more sinister character. Dressed in a minimalist sleek blazer, white shirt and black trousers, The Thin White Duke comes across as cold, detached, and obsessed with control and power. It’s still a theatrical album compared to the previous album, but it’s far more melancholic, heavy, cold, dark, and direct. It's much more my style, since it’s less flamboyant and extravagant. I’d say the sound leans toward a fusion of art rock, avant-garde and krautrock (which is experimental rock music that developed in West Germany in the early 60's and 70's. Even though it’s quite a short album it’s dense and sets a very specific mood. The album cover is actually very artistic, and I think it perfectly matches the elegant, dark sound of the album. I love the centered black and white image on a white background, with the red capitalised text spaced tightly together. My favourite tracks are Station to Station, Golden Years, and Stay.

Pretty good. Some funky tunes, first album experience. Weirdly sounds like someone doing an impression of Bowie its so Bowie.

Another good album by Bowie. Nothing too weird. Like many of his albums, only one single from it: "Golden Years"

First song was nice but the other ones were usual songs from 70's.

73/100 some groove and colors but i must revisit

I get that it's a classic, but it's just fine to me.

I liked. First song was best, really edged me nice. The rest was good and jammy but a little unengaging.

2.9 I don’t know Bowie super well, but I guess I was surprised to hear an album like this. Title track was great, but wasn’t super enthused after that. Nothing was bad, but most of the album was fairly forgettable. Despite all this I still enjoyed it as a listen and am glad I finally got a bit deeper into his catalog

I consider myself a fan of David Bowie's music, based on his hits/popular songs - but I've never listened to a full album. I suspect my expectations going in were too high based on his reputation (including his prominence on 1001 albums) - but this was a disappointment. Excellent musicianship, well produced, totally solid songs. But also a bit...ho hum. Perhaps the album had a bigger impact in its time because of the ways Bowie was adopting personae and with this album being the formal introduction of the Thin White Duke. But that has no impact on me now, frankly (or if it does, it is negative...given that the character was a fascist). So standing on its own musically, it was a nice listen but nothing I'd ever find remarkable.

3.1 2x london to ATL plus Marta

I guess I'm a Bowie greatest hits guy. The songs I like, I really, really like, but there's a lot of filler in between. Probably this makes me shallow.

I really was not understanding the album and thought this was just niche music tastes from the 70s, but I started liking it around TVC15 and Stay.

Not his best but fun

“The Thin White Duke” - pretty funny. 3/5

prob like a 2.75

Okay, getting a run of Bowie and quite glad to hear the evolution and also get a better sense of his catalogue. Been surprisingly underwhelmed so far… …I enjoy the different periods and personas through his work. 6 tracks and 40 minutes feels a bit of a flex! Enjoying this more than the previous albums so far. Didn’t give it undivided attention but enjoyed it, without being wowed. (3.5)

Surprised to see this one rated so highly, I thought it was just okay. Stay is a banger though.

Pretty average by his very high standards

Interesting music but I didn’t feel connected to it at all

David Bowie's 3rd highest rated album on rateyourmusic.com. And he has a lot of albums! Blackstar (2016) is 2nd highest. So excluding Blackstar which is an outlier (makes sense why it's so high though), it becomes his 2nd highest rated. Wow! After one listen I don't appreciate why it is so acclaimed. It definitely requires more listens from me to see why

One of my least favourite Bowie albums from his good period. A short album that still feels like it drags. Really no standout Bowie songs here and I actively dislike Golden Years. He’s got like 8 other albums on this list, I could have done without this one.

Decent album. Nothing stood out for me.

M'Eh, not great

The album is too short.

Mixed.Enjoyed some of it...some pretty dire

Huh, this was one of the Bowie personas I was not familiar with. Even based on the title and the tracks, seems like this is a transitional album into his later era. I was hoping that loving 2001's Knight's Tale (RIP Heath) would have me loving "Golden Years" again, but it was not as sparkly this time in the context of listening to the entire album. I get that Bowie was super prolific, but he always had a large team behind him and I feel like he would do covers as filler tracks, like "Wild is the Wind", which is ok, but I don't think does justice to Nina Simone's original. Speaking of, how is this our group's FOURTH Bowie album but we haven't been graced with Nina Simone yet???!!

Don't get me wrong, I think this is a good album. But I think that maybe Thin White Duke Bowie isn't for me. I much prefer Berlin-era Bowie. There are a few good songs (TVC15 springs to mind), but the rest were just okay and I probably wouldn't come back to this one.

Hm Wild is the Wind is a pretty song.

Classic biwie

I like the funkier side sneaking out. Has its moments but overshadowed by his other albums. 3/ 5

not bad but kinda repetitive. was hoping it would be my thing but isn't rlly. stay was good i guess

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 1001 ALBUMS- # 90 The Thin White Duke arrives to The Station 😱. Surviving at the time of recording merely on a diet of 🌶️, 🥛 and cocaine, Station to Station is David Bowie at a crossroads — artistically, psychologically, and spiritually. And yet, out of this chaos, Bowie created one of his greatest and most mysterious works — an album that fuses funk, soul, European electronic minimalism, and esoteric mysticism, all cloaked in the persona of the Thin White Duke: a cold, fascistic, soul-draining aristocrat. 🎧 Classic Track: Golden Years 🎧 Deep Cut Gem: Word On a Wing 🎧 Personal Favorite: Stay 🎧 Memorable Standout: Station to Station Despite Bowie’s physical and mental breakdown during this period, Station to Station is incredibly tight, controlled, and ambitious. It’s grand, polished, and intense — partly due to the session band he assembled. Bowie fuses Funk and soul, Krautrock and minimalist electronics, Art rock theatrics and proto-industrial rhythm and European cabaret and existentialism. 🖼️ Album Artwork: Portrait of A Duke At its heart, Station to Station is a record about a man in crisis, seeking salvation — not through religion alone, but through art, ritual, control, and movement. Bowie, buried in occultism and cocaine, finds himself caught between intellectual belief systems (Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Crowley) and a visceral longing for grace. This tension between mysticism and machinery, sincerity and pose, defines the album’s mood. While the album is a highly influential creative landmark in Bowie’s career, at only six tracks with one of which being a cover, it’s a stretch for me to consider this album a fully formed LP.

Do so much cocaine that you get paranoid. In that paranoia you go on some messed up diet that causes you to get uncomfortably thin. So you rebrand yourself “The Thin White Duke” and make a record. Which ultimately contains one monster hit, Golden Years, and a bunch of cocaine induced nonsense.

The fourth of nine Bowie albums, and this one's more proof that nine is excessive. Ziggy Stardust, Blackstar, and either Low or Heroes is really all you need to get the full idea of Bowie. If you want to listen to more before you die, he made twenty-six albums. Three is a fine sample. Maybe it's the fact that this is the sixth overall Bowie album of listened to in my lifetime (iirc), but I'm running out of things to take note of in these albums. TVC15 was good, I guess. Of the 4 I've gotten so far, this is the least noteworthy. Heroes and Blackstar were incredible, Hunky Dory and The Next Day were bad, and this one is somewhere in between. A perfectly surface-level review for a perfectly surface-level Bowie album.

не плохо

Fine album. Subpar for classic Bowie. 6.0

Generally like David Bowie, but wasn't overly taken with this one.

Experimental; traditionally Bowie.

Very listenable but I can't handle a whole album of Bowie!

Really short album

Golden Years a stand out track.

Fine. Golden Years was good. Not his worst stuff.

Bit depressing, still good

Besides Golden Years, the title track is OK, Stay has a good funky, rocking groove but still misses the mark. The rest is meh.

Decent album. Pretty much more of David Bowie, but not as exciting. 3/5

Not as impressed with this one

One good song, the rest kind of annoying

Pretty good

I don't think Bowie can miss. Favourite Track(s): Stay Least Favourite Track(s): Station to Station

Pretty decent, not the best Bowie I've heard though

Es esch doch grad sehr passend am afang vo dem review öber s intro z rede. I dem albom lauft das so ab, dass mer zerscht e Dampfloki ghört us de distanz nöcher ond nöcher cho, die fahrt de verbi ond währenddem de ton liisliger werd fod langsam e beat ah, wo sech de öber ne rächti ziit emmer meh ufbaut. Das fendi eigentlech no rächt geil. Ned nome wels rächt guet zom tetel vom Albom passt, sondern au wels eim ziit ged imne Albom azcho ond sech druf z freue. Trotzdem verstohni emmer no ned ganz, wieso mer das Albom i sone Liischte ibaut. Das vorallem, wels doch eher monoton tönt, aber au ned wörk e krasse banger hed. Dass sech das Albom chli zoge hed, hed mi aber au chli erstuunt wel wemmers ganz objektiv aluegt heds jo ganz diversi Songs. Meischtens scho chli im stil vom Bowie, aber gärn au mol öppis sehr bluesigs oder öppis funky woner aber mega guet implementiert hed. Au heder e diversi palette a Istromänt ond setzt die au ned emmer alli gliichziitig ih wies anderi möched. Zom das z erkläre helfts aber wemmer chli aluegt wie de Bowie sini Songs ufbaut. Anders als i de meischte Songs wo de refrain als Höheponkt vom song entweder chli lüüter, höcher oder sehr iprägsam esch, machts de Bowie fascht e chli schwerig dä i sim z erkönne. Teilwiis heds gar ned wörk e refrain oder i anderne esches eifach dass sech t Akkörd oder t Intrumentalisierig zuespezt. Das machts vorallem bi dem Albom rächt schwerig e gueti öbersecht vo de Struktur z becho, wemmer de Song no ned mega guet könnt ond de fühlt sech au e Song met 3 verschednige Teil (wo btw emmer no 10 Minute god) dorch rächt langwiilig ah. So hani also chli de Idrock öbercho dass de Bowie eifach 38 Minute chli öppis am omesenge esch was i mine Ohre halt scho ned so s meischterwärch esch. Trotzdem fendi de Stil no rächt guet. Es esch weder guetnachtmusig no gods eifach drom möglechst luut z si. Es fühlt sech emmer chli wie es Fäscht ah wommer grad am Fiire esch. Die positivi Attitüde passt mer halt au huere guet. Was dem Albom eifach fählt esch e wörklech iprägsami Melodie. T struktur vo de Songs machts scho schwerig e öbersecht z ha ond wenn eim t Melodie au nie hange bliibt, de esches eifach ned so es super albom.

always enjoy listening to bowie

Enjoyable but more subdued in a way than a lot of his other stuff. 3.5

Love Bowie but not always his full albums but this one was pretty good

Golden Years haters need to suck it! It wasn't the album I needed this morning but it was easy to listen to.

Honestly, largely forgettable. Love Golden Years, the rest of the songs are enjoyable but uninspiring.

I’m beginning to think it’s his voice that is the issue

I wanted to like it but it was just ok

Not a bad record, but nothing really stood out to me. Not one of Bowie's best, but still an enjoyable listen.

Easy to listen to

On one hand it's not my usual jam at all on the other i was impressed by the 10 minute intro song and despite my reservations it did make my drive home into a boppy time thanks bowie

it was ok, not my favorite.

Damn, this is my seventh Bowie album. Granted, most of those were quality, but I was just a bit shocked by the volume here. Anyway, I don't seem to know much about this album in particular. Looks like it has the single "Golden Years", but that's about all I know. I wasn't aware that Bowie was in that bad of a spot in the lead up to (and during) this album's creation. Also the start of the "Thin White Duke", Bowie's short-lived persona of that time. This persona has been described as a "hollow man", but also one who "sang songs of romance with an agonized intensity". Pretty accurate given the album's content I guess, but things are also quite varied here despite the length. Funky, artsy, poppy, with room for some ballads too. For some reason though, things didn't reach me in a super profound way here. This just didn't feel as impactful or memorable as some of Bowie's other albums (and I've been exposed to A LOT in the last 20 months or so)

A perfectly serviceable David Bowie album with nothing that really stood out for me one way or the other.

I liked it but it just failed to grab me for some reason. Was enjoyable as a background listen but just nothing really stood out. Because of this I also struggled to pick a favourite and least favourite song. I found them all pretty enjoyable. Fav song: TVC15 Least fav: Station to Station

Meh to ok. 3

3.5 stars

I guess it's pretty good. Bowie has some amazing stuff but I do think he is a bit overrated especially with how many albums of his are on here. Not a bad album and I like the succinctness of it, but did not have much staying power with me at least

What is it with older albums having multiple 6 minute songs, I love bowie but this ain’t it. The album only gets going with TVC15 which is the only song that I would consider worth a second listen. That isn’t to say the music is bad, it just drags. The sort of music you’d put in the background of a bar scene in a gangster film

bravo!

Amazing album and the birth of the Thin White Duke, and the springboard album to move production from LA (where this album was recorded) to Germany - where the Berlin trilogy will occur.

I can appreciate rock and roll, even if I’m not a huge David Bowie fan. The intro of Station to Station was slightly irritating but I guess I can see what he was going for. I just usually like when people get right into the music, I’m not a huge fan of listening to just noise for 2 mins straight. Stay is my favorite song on this album but I probably wouldn’t seek it out to listen to it again. Overall not my favorite but also not the worst. Solid 6/10

I had such high hopes for this! There are David Bowie songs that I love and grew up listening to. The music was great, I love how unique the 70s-80s era was. My complaint is that I quite literally didn’t understand a single word of what he was singing. Is it bc he’s British?

Interesting blend of genres and styles. For me doesn't hit the heights I'd expect of a classic album.

Well, it’s Bowie, so it’s inventive, sophisticated, often surprising, and still sounds fresh almost 50 years later. But - nothing really sends it into the heights that would make it indispensable.

Nuori nainen on yksin asunnossaan. Hän menee nukkumaan koiransa lattialla vierellään. Keskellä yötä hänet herättää outo ääni. Hän on peloissaan, mutta ojentaa kätensä koiran luo, joka nuolee hänen kättään. Hän rauhoittuu ja nukahtaa uudelleen. Aamulla hän herää ja huomaa koiransa kadonneen. Hän menee kylpyhuoneeseen ja kauhistuu nähdessään koiransa roikkumassa suihkussa kurkku auki. Peiliin on verellä kirjoitettu viesti... JOS LUOIT SITÄ KILTTIÄ NUOLEMISEKSI, ODOTA, KUNNES SAAT TÄTÄ PALJON! Bananananowwww! Hän kuulee jonkun soittavan kitaraa, ja David Bowie syöksyy peilin läpi. Hän seisoo lavuaarilla hänen edessään ja työntää haaroväliään suoraan hänen kasvoilleen kuin yrittäisi elvyttää hänen suutaan kiveksillään. "David Vittu Bowie!" hän huutaa. "Rakastin sinua Tron: Legacyssa!" Bowie heittää kitaransa ulos ikkunasta, ja se lentää taivaalle polttaen edelleen uskomattomia riffejä kuin ehdoton mestari. Tyttö hyppää hänen syliinsä ja he suutelevat niin kovaa, että koira herää henkiin ja ostaa auton. station to station

Classic Bowie, appearing to be midway through a style change

This is a really short album - 6 songs, 38 minutes. This is more important as an artistic transition than a great album to listen to. The most notable song is Golden Years. Pitchfork: 9.5 Rolling Stone: Top 500 Album #52 Best Songs Golden Years

This list has forced me to finally deep dive into Bowie and I’ve been pleasantly surprised. This album is no exception.

Controversial but I feel like I got Bowie LESS after this one. It never quite hit the highs the singles I know from him do, and it never really landed on how "out there" something like Ziggy Stardust or the end of Low. There were still some great songs on here, and I can see myself putting it on if I'm craving some Bowie, but it was missing something that made a lot of the rest of his work more memorable to me.

I just don’t really get Bowie. Not why he deserves 9 albums on this list at least. None of these songs deserved to be 6-7 minutes long, and yet they all were. Like they were okay, not terrible, but why is everyone acting like this is something of the best shit they’ve ever heard?* *the song Stay kicked all sorts of ass and is not counted in the above chiding remarks

3 Stars (8/15)

Just a chill album

Fun and funky album, end on a soft note. 3/5. See the appeal and greatness but not immediately up my alley genre wise. Would enjoy listening again.

What the hell is a European cannon. Both unremarkable. TVC15 epic. Groovy riff Another groovy riff. What the fuck are you on about. Nice song wind is wild Conclusion: drug induced waffle. U

Most of the songs I was unfamiliar with and found them enjoyable

Not his best is it

Bowie gets an oblig 1 star for just showing up

Не знав, що у Боуі був такий фанкі період. Альбом мені сподобався, проте не настільки сильно щоб хотілось другий раз переслухати. Stay чудова грувова пісня з класною гітарою.

Before this challenge I had never really listened to Bowie at all. Outside of the first album I got, I’ve enjoyed most of the other albums I’ve gotten as my daily picks. Yet I could not get into this one at all. The entire album just felt like one song, and nothing stood out for me. It just became noise in the background instead of me actually paying attention to it. Further proof the author needed a 2 or 3 album cap per artist. 2.5 / 5

Interesting but I doubt I'll go back to listen to this one over some of his others

Good

Have no idea why the list included that many David Bowie’s, he’s a good icon and artist but never that good as a musician or singer (I’m sorry) Back to this album, it didn’t strike me

This album is more consistent than blackstar but has lower highs. There's nothing all that interesting, which is disappointing because I know Bowie has interesting ideas. I can see why other people rate it so highly, but I find it fine.

Överlag ett ganska trevligt sound med nån låt som sticker ut.

Mysigt

I thought I was a fan of David Bowie, but not this album. I thought it was kind of boring.

One banger. The rest of the album is disco Bowie.

I will be honest in the fact that I am a very surface level David Bowie listener. I haven't had the urge to dive deeper into his discography than what is in my algorithmic mixes on Spotify. This was nice to hear some songs that I had never heard of before! Quite the variety on this album. I remember when I was little, and heard Golden Years in A Knight's Tale for the first time. Such a unique sound, and never fails to put me in a nostalgic state. I had never heard the song "Stay," and I really love that guitar line.

It's a lot better than the major Bowie hits that get played.

not really a fan of this guy, but not bad. This is like the 5th bowie in 125 albums, this is the best thus far

Aufgenommen in den Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles markiert Station to Station den Übergang Bowies vom soulbeeinflussten Young Americans zu den experimentelleren Ansätzen der späteren Berlin-Trilogie. Die Figur des „Thin White Duke“ zieht sich als Leitmotiv durch das Album. Der zehnminütige Titeltrack verbindet funkige Rhythmen mit krautrockartigen Passagen, „Golden Years“ knüpft an Bowies Soulphase an, und „TVC 15“ bringt eine exzentrische, humorvolle Note ein. Mit „Word on a Wing“ und dem Cover „Wild Is the Wind“ zeigt Bowie seine introspektive und emotionale Seite. Insgesamt ein Werk, das stilistisch zwischen Funk, Rock und Avantgarde vermittelt und seine kreative Neuorientierung überzeugend einleitet.

Its David Bowie, of course its good. GOOD, its not the absolute masterpiece revisionist history has bestowed upon it. Like a lot of 70s albums this has cocaine written all over it, some great bits and pieces and some things that someone should have talked someone else out of.

Not my fav from Bowie

station to station: Ohhh I get it, like a TRAIN station! man it's crazy how much more i like this than lamb on broadway already and it's literally just him hitting two notes over and over lol oops i spoke too soon its annoying, turns out all music from the 70s is annoying Underwater voice Getting pretty sick of this song just pounding that piano as hard as he can Golden Years: I know this one! But it turns out maybe i don't like it as much as I thought I did This album is kind of boring. I wonder if i'd like it more if I could understand anything David was saying in these songs. I also wonder if my work laptop Surface speakers are detracting a lot, because the thing I'm picking up most is these jangly ass piano notes being hammered out and it's repetitive and annoying I'm getting Talking Heads vibes but in a bad way TVC15 is almost something but it doesn't feel like it does anything or go anywhere. Stay is pretty good I like this. Wild is the wind: 2:11 OoOooOOoOOooooOo Giving it a three because while I didn't like it, at least it's only 38 minutes long (unlike LLDOB by G)

I liked this, although it's not my favorite of his CDs on this list so far. It's a bit spacey and jammy for my taste, and I don't think Bowie does that so well. He's got a habit of getting into a groove and just hanging on it forever, which I think gets kind of old. "Golden Years" is a nice enough song, but it's the worst offender here - the song opens with that one crunchy riff, which then repeats with no interruption throughout the entire song. Bowie builds on it, but he never takes anything away. This, as well as some of the longer instrumental jams (e.g. on "Stay") feel kind of like typical self-indulgent 70s. He's better when he's singing throughout, as on the title track and the closer. But it's a nice CD - Bowie's got a very deep catalogue of just solid material.

Listened in the truck via YouTube music. I don’t believe I’ve ever heard any of the songs on this album. The majority were mid tempo long tracks which was cool. Definitely a hang at the house and chill music.

Easily the most enjoyable Bowie album I've had thus far. Maybe Ziggy will be different. Great melodies and production but his voice still isn't my favorite thing. 3.5 rounding down to 3

First time listening to Bowie album in full. Some moments I kinda liked, but I still don't know what people find in him? Like not in an offensive way, but I can't figure why his music appeals to so many people. Well, I hope other albums will give me the answer. This one has it's moments, but sometimes I got bored by a lot of repetitions. Sorry, David, only 3 so far, though I had bigger expectations.

Last 2 songs were great. I know Bowie is a legend and a genius but a lot of his work just isn’t my thing. This album was meh overall. 6.5/10

Yeah I don’t know, Bowie’s music still just isn’t for me. I’ve never really been able to get into it and this album isn’t really an exception. He sounds great though, vocally he’s superb and the instrumentation is really good too, I just didn’t care for it.

I’m not a big David Bowie fan, but this is the first album I actually enjoyed. Stay and wild is the wind were my favorite tracks.

Has the more classic Golden Years song, but I feel like there's a reason this isn't a more well-known Bowie

•3/5 • Golden Tears is good but nothing else stood out

Pretty cool but short!

Pretty decent!

This was fine

Like the songs that I already knew pretty meh about the songs I didn't. Hard to pin down the chicken and egg scenario

Haven't heard this one! He has such a huge catalog. Super head-bobby at the start. I like the grooves. Oh, I recognize Golden Years. That's definitely the best song on here. This album is too short, so I'll give it a 3.

Хороший альбом. Завершающий трек очень сильный и, лучший на альбоме. В целом не прям lifechanging. Выше среднего, но не более

...

I don't actually enjoy this album too much, especially compared to some of his other 70s work. You can feel the drug-fueled excess on some of the songs. I love Golden Years and TVC15 though, they're so fun.

Ok, so this is my first real listen of any Bowie album. I've never been a big fan of Bowie's music (don't @ me). I feel like I don't typically fully get what he's going for, so maybe that's part of the issue. "Golden Years" is very catchy on first listen. Definitely stood out to me and I'm not surprised to find out it's the first single from the album. "TVC15" is fun. Nothing like a song about a TV eating your girlfriend. After the album ended after "Wild is the Wind", I was shook. What a short album. And 7 min of it went to "Station to Station" Apparently this album was a fun cocaine-fueled transition album. But again - I don't know Bowie well enough to understand his before period to the next experimental period. Definitely got catchier on additional listens. Slick. I liked Stay too. Some dancing involved

Not as strong as others from the time, but Golden Years still a goat.

I enjoyed this album much more than the other David Bowie album I listened to

David Bowie you mad man Best Song: Wild is the Wind Rating: 7.5/10 (Good) Stars: 3/5

Still have the same reaction this as whenever I first heard it years ago: incredible title track and then nothing really grabs me. I guess I can hear the roots of a War/Killing Joke/LCD Soundsystem riff in there on Stay, but that might just be coincidence.

My third Bowie album and the least interesting of them. Nothing grabbed me on this one.
