Station To Station

6/10

Went on a whole journey. An eclectic mix of styles. Funky and unique. Bowie is his own genre. He knows how to tell a story. Full of soul. Felt like a musical. Quite a bit of repetition though.

It has some good parts. The songs are very long and don't keep my attention. Favorite song: station to station

Interesting to hear this Bowie music. I think of his music as being much more highly produced, and borderline pop. This was much funkier and rock. I don't like the vocals though, not his voice or the mic being used.

My first time actually listening to a Bowie record in full. Most of these songs felt too long and kinda lost me at the halfway point, although the intros had caught me beforehand. It was also too theatrical at times for my taste. That being said - I could still appreciate it for what it was. The album is well put together and went out with the best two songs in my opinion. 'Stay' and 'Wild With The Wind' I really enjoyed and went back to after listening to the whole thing through. Not sure if I'll ever fully get into it, though.

It’s an average Bowie album, but an average Bowie is better than most peoples best - some good tracks but some that kind of fade in to each other. Wild is the Wind is a favourite of mine and you can’t deny Golden Years either.

more bowie who can complain

I never liked Bowie much. I didn't much like this.

6.5 Boy there sure are a lot of Bowie albums on this list. All they are doing for me is confirming that he is not as great an album artist as his reputation would say. This was fine, even nice, but was by far the most commercial of his albums I’ve heard. That made it a smooth but unchallenging listen. Art rock mixed with plastic soul. Well played, you can hear the quality in Alomqr’s guitar playing. Best: Golden Years

As per usual with Bowie's albums, some good and some bad. Golden Years is one of my favorite songs ever but some songs David gets a little ghoulish for me. Short album but the longer songs made it feel longer. 5.5/10 (2.75/5)

I know there are some amazing David bowie songs, but none of them were here. Good but not spectacular

I really liked golden years and some other songs later in the album I remember liking. But idk why the opening track was a million years long. I have no problem with long songs but that one was long for no reason so it just made it less good.

I don’t really want to write a review for this one but it was alright, some good stuff for sure and probably deserves more than a 3 but I think I just didn’t listen to and digest it enough.

Particular, pero me gusta

3.5

Fine

I believe this is the 133rd Bowie album on this list. While I enjoy some of Bowies work…..not all. As far his albums go, this one is more accessible than earlier albums but not as much as later albums.

Was fine. Not a massive bowie fan

6/10

Not his best

Not offensive to the ears

A bit too weird for me, found some songs grating to listen to.

Love David Bowie. This was a cool album but not one of my favorites. It’s always fun to listen to Bowie get more creative and aim less for radio hits, but you definitely lose a little bit of memorability in the process.

Lyssnat rätt mycket. Hoppats att det skulle bli bättre. Men upplever det ändå rätt sisådär. Wild is the wind är bäst. Påminner bitvis om Gethsemene från Jesus Christ superstar.

Another Mr Bowie album, once again I didn’t hate it. He was definitely tapping into his weirder side at this point. I really need to rate the albums as I listen so I don’t forget my thought processes :(

Ich habe dieses Album dreimal gehört und es lässt mich immer noch eher ratlos zurück. Dieses Album kommt mir vor wie eine große Suche. Die Suche nach etwas Großem, leider ohne dass die Suche zu einem befriedigenden Ergebnis führt. Auch das Genre ist schwer zu benennen und zeigt viele Einflüsse. Alle Songs sind musikalisch nicht langweilig, gut gespielt, teilweise sogar abwechslungsreich, aber für mich einfach nur Mittelmaß und lassen mich total kalt. Sorry, Bowie. Am besten gefallen hat mir vielleicht der Titeltrack, Station to Station, auch wenn der Umbruch mitten im Song eher seltsam war.

Finally, a Bowie album I can listen to! I'm not a Bowie fan, and i know he's a legend, but I question some of the choices. I'm guessing the author of the list is a big fan. Liked Songs Added: Golden Years TVC15

It's David Bowie

Ist David Bowie overrated oder bin ich nur ein Banause?

the opening title track is really good. Golden Years is a nice soul song the rest is pretty forgettable

Enjoyable but I can only really give it a 3.

Solid, but didn’t blow me away.

a primeira faixa é perfeita. 3,5

Eh not his best work. Just decent. More of a fan of the Ziggy era

uhhh mid, one lovely song

70s Bowie (with some 80s sprinkled in for good measure) was the best Bowie, even with his tendency to constantly reinvent himself. This album is good, if a little uneven, and it's missing obivious, stand-out hits. However, the title track and Wild is the Wind alone are enough to make this album aat least very competent. The rest of the tracks don't need to hide either. 3/5

A decent album with some hits. I think David Bowie is just not for me though. Still- definitely wasnt bad, just didnt capture me

It was okay, but nothing really that tickled my fancy.

I simply don't get the worlds fascination with David Bowie - especially this album. Its just OK

Pretty alright. Nothing stood out but Bowie still delivers

It was good. I see why people love it. But you have to be the right person and in the right mood.

A major turning point in Bowie's career. Can't really say much past that.

Good music. Old but good

I usually really enjoy Bowie albums. In fact, he’s probably been one of the most consistently high scorers with this album journey. However, for whatever reason, this one just didn’t really resonate with me. It was still fine, and there’s nothing I’d exactly say is bad, but it felt more appropriate to have on in the background rather than at the forefront of my attention. It’s no secret that Bowie liked to jump between genres a lot, but this seemed to fall in no-man’s-land for me, not really being anything graspable. Still not bad, by any means, but a lower standard than I’m used to from him.

Rock, 1976 -> 3

smells of Bowie all around but not one of his best works

No es mi favorito de Bowie, aunque me gustó su lado más crudo de lo común en el canto. Nota: 2.9

Bueno

Good

Was an ok album. Nothing earth shattering.

budget talking heads (:

It was fine. There are much better Bowie albums

This is our third or fourth Bowie album and it's been a very strange introduction to his as an artist. This album was enjoyable, but I also don't see myself listening to it a ton. "Golden Years" is a standout for me but otherwise the songs didn't strike me much. I'm still holding out hope for Bowie to get a 4 or 5 for one of his most popular albums.

Album bom, mas nada fenomenal. Ultimo album de personas dele. um solido 7/10

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

Ik vond het best geinig om de laatste weken wat oude Bowie platen te herleven, omdat het toch een artiest is die ik stiekem een beetje links laat liggen, vaker dan eerlijk is. Maar zo is het wel weer even genoeg. Dat gezegd hebbende, behoort dit wel bij zijn meest consistente werkjes. Hij heeft duidelijk de transitie ondergaan van theatrale glam naar abstracte art pop, wat als maar abstracter zou worden in Berlijn. De titelsong laat horen dat de kaarten opnieuw geschut zijn. De groove is weird, maar wel sterk aanwezig, en de nummers zijn hoekig, (voor Bowie) onorthodox leeg, en lang. 'Golden Years' doet alvast een gooi naar de stempel 'new wave', een jaar of 10 voordat dat echt een populaire team in de hitlijsten was, en is eigenlijk een beetje een vreemde eend in de bijt. De rest van de songs gooien het niet op catchiness. En dat werkt als één geheel best goed, wat als album zijnde best een pluim verdient. Dieptepunten kent het niet, verre van zelfs, maar ook vergelijkbare pieken van zijn albums begin jaren 70 missen. De titelsong is wel memorabel omdat die zijn nieuwe stijltje perfect omschrijft, en 'Word on a Wing' is waanzinnig mooi. De rest is ietswat flets, zonder uit de toon te vallen. 7/10 Highlights: Station To Station Word on a Wing

Ik kan al een aantal dagen niet echt de goeie woorden vinden voor deze review. Het is niet slecht maar heeft me ook niet gegrepen. Om iets goeds op te schrijven moet ik het nog een keer luisteren. Daar heb ik onvoldoende zin in. Ik kom tot de conclusie dat Bowie met name exceptioneel is vanwege zijn showmanship, zijn karakter en zijn vermogen te vernieuwen. Albums puur op kwaliteit beoordelen doet hem dan ook te kort, maar maakt deze app wel lastig. 7/10 Highlights Wild is the wind

Truly this list must have every Bowie album. I like this, but I don't necessarily think it's a must listen.

Doesn't live up to its reputation, although Word on a Wing was a standout

Monsieur Bowie, we do like.

There are probably too many Bowie albums on this list but he’s earned it more than Steely Dan. Typical Bowie in that I have no idea what’s happening on this album but I enjoyed it nonetheless. High 3

Cool opening - planet telex much? 1:10… okay, I take back the planet telex comment 2:53, oh yeah funky 6:34, I feel like I should be enjoying this song more than I am.. I’m not jamming, but I know it’s good. Station to station just ended.. it’s too late! Next track I like golden years much more! Good song.. Word on a wing is making me sad :( May be my favourite track so far.. I like that organ swell, us and them.. TVC15, I can already tell I probably won’t like this one It’s actually pretty good, TRAAANSITION🪬🪬🪬🔮🔮🔮🦄 Stay! Oooooh! I love the guitar here Wild is the wind is a Bowie song.. not much else I have to say, I like the guitar

Yeah this is some okay Bowie. Nowhere near my favorite but also not bad. Just doesn't really click with me at all

just not for me man :/

Def a fun listen and very smooth in the background, this album didn’t quick impress me enough while I appreciate the technical skills and lyricism It maybe getting seemingly a dozen early 70s rocks album in a row but the level of enjoyment wasn’t higher than a 3 for me

I’d give it 5/10 as much as I do like some of David Bowie’s other songs this album sounded like it’d be in a horror or suspense film and as much as I wanted to like it I couldn’t I only liked one song Favorite song - “golden years” Least favorite - “Wild is the wind” Most unique - “TVC15”

It took me a while to understand that the narrative of a hollywood superstar first started with this generation of artists. The ones that did everything, from singing to creating art to staring in major hollywood blockbusters, this was the “peak” of hollywood. I do not have a fully formed opinion about the level of hollywood’s output at that time -I trully hope it was better than what it is now- but to my mind it looks and feels like the same level of stupidity is bound to apply there as well. Having said that, I can see a vision when I invest a little bit of time listening to this album and tie it with the movie that it was released with. Having scrolled, skimmed rather, through the commends I can see that a lot of people share this thought so I can go on a limb and say that this is not a far fetched idea. The post apocalyptic vibe of the songs, the do not care about anything attitude because it does not matter, the I am living in the moment because there is nothing more to about, these are my first and quite frankly only thoughts about the songs. Maybe I was not invested enough to see this all the way through. Don’t get me wrong, this is not a bad album, musicly it sounds flawless, it does not take a lot of risks. It is an album that keeps a good level, rather uninteresting, and focuses on the story behind it. I would say, fits whatever they were going for in Hollywood at the time, the superfans that were going to see everything cause Bowie was a superstar, so they were trying to compartmentalise the concept to create a bigger profit. I would not say this album has a start, a middle and a finish like some of the better albums I have listened. It just has a story that does not try to hard to tell you because then it was easier to sell because of Bowie’s name. Average but not to average…

Meh. Fine. Its barely a full album. It's only on here because it's bowie.

Would probably need a second listen but loved some of the songs in it. Wild is the wind in particular

"golden years" and "wild is the wind" are bangers but most of this album feels like a warm up for the Berlin trilogy. 3.5

Experimental rock album, an in-between album, before David Bowie turns into an interntional pop star.

A good album but really pales in comparison to the other albums in his discography. The disco elements are nice and show his adaptability. 3/5

I'm sorry, but there are better albums from him.

Not one of the better Bowie albums. Some nice moments but I struggled to get into it and find an identity with it. Not quite sure what it was trying to be really. Certainly better Bowie albums out there. Probably one for the purists.

Rather chilled and unusually for Bowie isn’t very challenging to the listener. It’s just ‘OK’ isn’t it, nothing stands out particularly, and I have nothing of interest to say on the matter.

It’s not bad, but not his best work. Too 70s

I know this one has a legendary reputation but it's not by a mile my favourite Bowie

Bowie! Need I say more

Well by now over the course of 1001+ albums i expect to listen to every Bowie recording. If they are all as good as this one, that will be OK. Still, I am not convinced this album should stand with Young Americans, for instance.

Ok

Fav was stay

These kinds of albums I was waiting for! Music history that I've never gotten around to listening. I wish there was someone explaining the importance and relation to the time period, just contextualizing the whole thing for me. Just by the music alone I'm not wildly impressed, I mean Bowie is great, very recognizable and creative master, but still this leaves me feeling a bit... meh. Couple of songs had cool parts to them, that hadn't aged at all.

Certainly seems to deserve further listens; it definitely hooked me more than the other Bowie album, but I think it can only be a grower. I don't feel like i have it cracked.

I liked listening to this but in the grand scheme of the Bowie discography it felt less than essential.

Very nice

not much more than golden years… could i write poetry to this? n

Estranhamente bom, estou meio despreparado para avaliar esse álbum

We really don't need (at least) six Bowie albums on this list. My god.

A bit experimental, you have to be in the mood - at least for me.

Golden Years is the song I know from this album. Rest is ok too 3/5

I enjoy David Bowie. Not one of his best but enjoyable.

Surpreendeu positivamente pelo uso de guitarras com peso e intensidade. Só se fica a expectativa se terá algum hit.

This is my fourth Bowie album, and I still don't get it.

Three stars for a good album that is just not a favorite artist for me, and after reading the full Wikipedia article - just, yikes. It’s a good thing Mr. Bowie received the help he needed.

It’s Bowie so I’ll like it, but compared to other Bowie albums it’s not as good.

Solid Bowie album, nothing special.

No. 271/1001 Station To Station 2/5 (3x) Golden Years 3/5 Word On A Wing 3/5 (2x) TVC15 3/5 (2x) Stay 2/5 (2x) Wild is the Wind 3/5 (2x) Average: 2,58 Worst Bowie record on the list so far.

Sweet

Liked the instrumentals, but Bowie's voice is a mood (that I wasn't in that day!)

A classic Bowie moment!

I enjoyed the journey, and the album has a lot of depth and wide genre blending but it didn't really stick that much. It's an album that probably gets better with more listens. Best song: Station to Station Worst song: TVC 15

At first I thought, can an album be 5 star worthy if there are only 6 songs on it? Especially if the band isn’t Pink Floyd? Then Station to Station comes on and it sounds like Pink Floyd to start and it’s 10 minutes long. Note taken. Well, it’s definitely not a Pink Floyd album and it’s not David Bowie’s attempt at a Pink Floyd album. Like every Bowie album I’ve heard, which is 4 of them, this album just kind of hovers between good and ok. There’s not much to it. This won’t make or break someone’s decision to listen to Bowie again.

This feels like a weird album to get for my first David Bowie album. People seem to really like Station to Station, but I couldn’t really get into it. It’s fine, but this isn’t my favorite David Bowie material. Most of it is average and it doesn’t help that 5 out of the 6 songs go over 5 minutes. The songs are pretty good however, and I like the diversity of it. Golden Years is a pretty good funk/disco romp and TVC15 is a solid art rock track that has Bowie tap into something like the Talking Heads. It’s a 3.5 for me, as four seems too high. Favorite track: TVC15 Other hits: Golden Years, Stay, Wild is the Wind

I typically like Bowie, but this was not my favorite.

This definitely influenced a zillion bands, inc. QOTSA.

First sing fucks, rest is good but not amazing for Bowie

nice

I just ain't in to David Bowie like that.

Nisam do sada slušao iako sam upoznat s životom Bowiea. Mislim, tko nije? Odmah na prvoj pjesmi čujem utjecaje njegovih odlazaka u Njemačku Početak mi je ono, Autobahn na engleski način, pa mi zvuči kao Can prije nego uđe u pjevanje, e tad zvuči baš kao Bowie Već na sredini druge pjesme mi postaje jasno zašto nisam nikad ušao u Bowiea. Ti zašto nisam fanboy. Veliki respect za njega i za sve što je radio kroz život, ali meni ovo stvarno nije napeto, ne kužim zašto. Muzika je ok, njegov glas nije iritantan, barem prve dvije pjesme su dosta krauteraske zapravo, ali jednostavno me ne dira. Tek Stay mi je nešto napravio iako je ovo kraut pop, ovo je Can sa šarmom, ovo je kraut za mase. Ok, nešto se tu talking headsa može čuti isto I malo senzualnig Davida za kraj, jebo me svako ovo zvuči ko Ibrica Jusić Mah, nije meni ovo za jače od trojke, saka čas Davide, ali ovo sigurno neću naknadno preslusavati

One of my less favoured Bowie records though to be fair, after the first track it picks up a lot.

It's fine. A bit too funky/disco, for my tastes, I'd rather listen to ziggy stardust any day.

Not his most outstanding work by any means, but only because Bowie set himself such an astronomically high standard throughout his career. One of the few artists who deserve to have more than two albums on this list. We were lucky to walk the earth at the same time as David Bowie

Yes, it was okay, but I'm not really into Bowie. Might try it again at some point. 3.5 stars, but giving it 3.

Ive always liked Golden Years....but never heard any of the rest of this album. If you want to hear Bowie high on cocaine, apparently this is the album for you. Might have been better in LSD. 3.4 since it has a great song, the rest is just blah.

Over rated album. Sure, there’s a lot going on in terms of the usual music you hear in the grocery store, but it’s not great. It’s cluttered sounds and Bowie is overly dramatic in his vocals. I appreciate his art but I’ll never listen to this album again.

An alright album. I like David Bowie's music in general.

This is my FIFTH David Bowie album! How many more are they going to throw at me? There's no doubt that he should appear somewhere among the 1001 albums but FIVE albums worth?! I'm not so sure... This was definitely better than a 2 but wasn't consistently interesting enough to give it a 4. 3.5/5 An enjoyable listen.

David Bowie is one of those artists I can respect, but I just can’t get into most of his music aside from a few singles. Station to Station has some strong moments and you can tell he’s pushing boundaries, but the album didn’t really grab me. The songs are well-crafted and Bowie’s style is unmistakable, but it all felt a little distant. It’s clear why people love this record, but for me, it was just okay. I appreciate the artistry more than I actually enjoyed the listen.

3.5/5

Classic Bowie - nothing really stood out though, but it was a good listen

# 323 : Only six songs? Wow-wee what an impressive degree of variety. Good album, has a hit or two as well. Favourite Track : Golden Years

Probably won't be an album I think to play, but if it was playing then I wouldn't feel like changing it

Bowie has some really great songs. The rest are usually just kind of there. Or a little too out there. This album seems to fall mostly into the middle category for me.

First album on this journey, really excited to listen to the essential albums of all time. I've never been the biggest Bowie fan but enjoy some of his music so this was a good first listen to start the journey. Overall, I liked the album. Found it hard to hear lyrics at times but enjoyed the flow of the music. Not to much to say about this one.

Good album. Bowie style but in the style of the moment, 1976, too. Recognizable jam and some extended cuts. Not my favorite Bowie.

Pretty good album.

It was okay

I wanted to like this album more than I did. Some nasty riffs but honestly just didn't enjoy when Bowie was singing that much.

Enjoyable album. Bowie as part of his Thin White Duke persona

Helt klart David Bowie. Men nok en gang har jeg ikke forstået hvad det gør ham så speciel.. Jo, det lyder da unikt på samme tid med at det lyder bekendt. En eller anden dag skal jeg nok forstå det, men ikke idag.

Nothing too memorable, but some good music.

Not my favourite Bowie album

Very 70s glammy overproduction, but some catchy Bowie hooks to keep you going.

I don't know Bowie's music that well, just not of my time. I enjoyed this more than Ziggy Stardust. It gave more of a feel of "regular" Bowie. It is great music but I guess I just don't really like his singing style so nothing stands out to me. Overall, a well put together album that doesn't overstay its welcome.

Not my favorite Bowie record but every song felt so unique but notably Bowie. Lots of good grooves. Always a pleasure listening to Bowie.

Mileage always varies with David Bowie. When I'm in the right mood I really enjoy much of his stuff. When I'm not, he grates on my nerves. This one I find strangely muted and low key. Neither particularly good or bad.

its obvious why is good, but its really not my vibe

Solid Bowie but not among his best IMHO

The band is funky and very tight, the production is lush with layers and layers of synths, spacey effects, overdubbed vocals, disco beats, and fuzzy guitar solos and little neo-soul fills. The songs feel kind of baggy though, overlong and under formed and the vocals, delivered in the classic nasal Bowie style, don't really stand out to provide a catchy anchor point. Its post-pop/rock in its aspirations, more like astral psychedelic dance music that wants to ride the vibe and float around the groove. Favorites: Stay, Word on a Wing, Wild is the Wind, golden years

Not Bowie's best for my ear, but Wild Is The Wind is beautiful.

I feel nothing

Favorite Track: TVC15

One of the less entertaining Bowie's album that I have listened to so far. Nothing really caught my attention, songs were pretty basic, more fitting for a background noise. Maybe a bit too much of cocaine during recording?

Golden Years and Wild is the Wind save this from being two stars for me.

Not my favourite of his. Simpsons: Yes

This was one of the better David Bowie albums we have had. It was kind of unremarkable though.

golden years is not my favorite bowie song. 2.5

Decent, sorta became background music. Still haven’t figured him out

Kinda okay actually. first Bowie record that I didn't feel anguish throughout

Solid Bowie but not one of my favorite Bowie albums

Quite liked it, but of a lil tracks 2-3 and then it picked up to the end

Not bad at all...

A decent listen

It's Bowie so at least there is some interesting stuff going on, but the whole thing was too 70s sounding for my taste.

This wasn't very interesting to me. A lot of the melodies were repetitive which is fine, but it was noticeable in a bad way if that makes sense.

Good album. Could be longer.

Pretty good. -7/10

5/10 - It was a worse David Bowie album. It was short but sounded like his music just a little worse.

Just some more DB.

Thought this was just ok. Nothing really stood out well put together, I guess I expected more

There were some great ones (Golden Years makes me so happy!) Then some I was a little more confused about. I couldn't quite understand the concept of the album, sort of felt like some random songs he wrote and liked, but didn't really have a connecting thread, but decided he liked the songs so much he would make an album. I would listen again and enjoy it

This was alright, nothing really grabbed my attention

Chill

i didn't really get much out of this album. it's another david bowie album on the list, big whoop. none of his dozen-plus massive singles are on here. don't get me wrong, it's /fine/, just not really much to write home about. if the 1001 albums guy needs some suggestions on what to replace this with, might i suggest weezer's blue album? favorites: golden years, wild is the wind

Can't go wrong with Bowie!

Typical Bowie. Good but not the greatest. 3/5

I respect the art and genius of Bowie. He does piece together some fascinating work, that's full of ideas and interesting production. It's just not always that fun to listen to. I liked the slow burn on the opening track and there are some great details throughout but I found a lot of it was a bit of a slog to get through.

not as good as young americans

Actually a pretty good one from him again. Stroong 3

Hade nog kanske för höga förväntningar innan. Men det låter som alla andra kokain höga grabbar på 70-talet. Vet inte tänkte kanske ”oj undrar hur konceptet hög i Berlin förändrar hans musik” och i sanning inte extremt mycket faktiskt. Asså gillar fortfarande albumet missförstå mig inte Bästa låten: Stay

supertrevligt och bowie är så galet cool!! Alla låtar var riiiiktigt härliga!!! Mumsfilibaba Bästa låt: Wild is the wind

Not necessarily bad, but it's really long and meandering. Not the best Bowie has to offer

Short and forgettable, like me

A solid David Bowie album, though far from my favourite by him.

Much better than the earlier Bowie albums that have come up on this list. This is the first thing I've heard from him that sounds organic and shows a real sense of ownership. Some of the personae stripped away.

Decent album. “Golden Years” is a great song. Album lacks a few more standout tracks. 3.5/5 Might listen again

it's david bowie I get it, but I don't get him

I listened to this like three times and I still can't decide whether I'm musically inept or if this was just plain unextraordinary. Whatever, I just want this rating over with and out of the way.

B Station To Station 3 Golden Years 5 Word On A Wing 4 TVC 15 3 Stay 3 Wild Is The Wind 3 A Knight's Tale... need I say more?

This album doesn't do anything for me -- I'm not a huge Bowie fan in general, but this seems more unfocused than most of his work.

I want to like his music but I don't.

Yeah no I straigh up didnt get it YNN

Very nasal voice, sometimes difficult to hear and sometimes completely fine. Laid back music. Did some interresting stuff but not my style

Station to Station is the 10th studio album by David Bowie, originally released in 1976. I never was a huge fan of Bowie, but the immense amount of his albums that are included on this list are giving me a good sense of him. One thing about Bowie is that he changed his sound a lot. He can hit funk, post punk, hard rock, glam, and many more and actually do them all pretty well. This record is more on the funky side following up Young Americans, which I dig. Apparently this record is another output by his "Thin White Duke" persona. I'm also finding it hard to keep up with all his personas as well. This record was marked by Bowie's heavy drug dependence, and it kinda shows. A lot of the arrangements are a bit messy. Maybe that's just his weirdness showing through. Overall these songs were pretty groovy tho.

More of a psych rock kind of vibe from this David Bowie album. It’s good, but did not quite have the same magic as the other two I have listened to. An unfair comparison, sure. Heard some of the Kraftwerk inspiration, especially the opening track. Standouts: Station to Station, Word on a Wing, Stay, and Wild Is the Wind.

Simply Solid outing here by Bowie. I'd say his 5th ranked record behind Aladdin Sane. This album just doenst quite hold on to my interest as his other works like Low, HonkyDory, os Ziggy

A lot of David Bowie records are known to me but just more on the periphery. I don't know many of his records well at all, and this is one of them. Quick and succinct very squarely 70s Bowie record. Enjoyed this for sure.

Decent album, nothing more. I didn't hear one track that grabbed my attention, but it was easy to listen to and there were no "fuck me, this is so bad I have to turn it off" moments (and there have been numerous albums like that in this list, which still surprises me, but I guess that's what keeps life interesting as we all like different things)!

Good album

Once again just okay, I really have yet to understand the hype for David Bowie aside from a couple good songs

I like David Bowie, some of his songs are great and I really like ziggy stardust however, most of the rest of his albums are disappointing to me. They seem to mostly have 1 or 2 good songs and then a lot of filler that is marginal at best.

Ok but no stand out tracks on this. Not convinced it’s a ‘must listen to album’ personally.

artsy fartsy, that's okay, but not more

Album 1. 01/06/24 There’s a weird eeriness in here, kind of feels like you’re inside the haunted LA house he was reported to be living in before the album was made. Short and sweet, at parts VERY glammy.

3* Good but not classic

Not in the habit of listening to Bowie but this was decent—can’t say I’d purposely listen again, though.

Another that I don't get the hype too much about, but alright tunes

Artistically valid but not my cup of tea (generally love Bowie).

Nicht ganz mein Geschmack, aber hörbar.

Easy listening, nothing too special.

Solid. I may have liked this more than expected. One of his better iterations

David Bowie focuses a lot on instrumentals and pairing instruments together rather than vocal expertise now although I don’t enjoy it that much it’s growing on me and I appreciate that aspect of having different instruments. Combine to create a sound that is truly unique.

Blind album. Not his best but not memorable...

First

The album has a good vibe. It's very dance-y and upbeat, but I didn't find it very inspiring.

I liked this one slightly better than Heroes but still didn't jump out and grab me. I feel like I'm missing something when it comes to Bowie. Maybe he's just not my cup of tea. I like him fine but don't love him. (shrugs)

An ok album

There’s Bowie I love and there’s Bowie I like and there’s Bowie I can take or leave. This is somewhere between the latter two. Interesting feints toward what he’d do in the 80s mixed with some watered down versions of the glam stuff. None of my favorite Bowie though, the Eno stuff. Oh well. Still a fun listen.

How many Bowie’s does this make for us? This generator seems as though it’s got certain genres or artists bunched up in it. Either that, or there are TONS of Bowie and Bjork and electronica and British hip hop in this. And hardly any Rolling Stones or Beatles. Anyway. Pretty good, but not my favorite of his we’ve listened to. It feels like we all just sort of decided that Golden Years is a good song, even though it’s not great.

- The opening title track (i.e. "Station to Station") is very good; particularly solid given that it is 10 minutes and keeps me engaged for its entire runtime. Nice build up of suspense followed by a cathartic change of pace. - The rest of the album is fine, but it essentially washed over me with little impact. I did like "Wild is the Wind," though it weirdly sounded incredibly reminiscent of "Gethsemane" in 1988's Jesus Christ Superstar? - The fictional Thin White Duke was totally a Thatcher / Reagan supporter.

Always good!!

already listened to it, not one of my favourite bowie albums but still decent

This guy is better than Aladdin Sane. Maybe not Ziggy Stardust. Basically I had a great time listening but an hour later can't remember a thing of it

Good, but not too memorable. Desperately trying my best to like Bowie

Might not be Bowie’s best, but still a rock-solid album.

The songs on S2S are cinematic, while Bowie delivers with operatic power. Like much of his work, the music and vocals dont align.

Interesting listening as I’m more acquainted with his more popular songs from his Let’s Dance album. Dare I say this is pearls before swine as I’m not a huge Bowie fan.

What if we just listened to Hunky Dory again? Eh?? Eh?!

Let me off at the next stop thanks

Favorite Track: TVC15 Golden Years Station to Station

'Station to Station' has always been among the more baffling turns in Bowie's progression, both in terms of how he ever landed on this patient, progressive fusion of krautrock and soft rock, as well as in terms of it being so difficult to love. I come away being more respectful of the work, than directly appreciating it. So much of this feels like it required a filter that wasn't there and that would only come in the form of Brian Eno and Tony Visconti later on. It is all a making of a truly impressive album that is just just too short of breath and nonchalant in its presentation to grab me.

It's a weird album. The songs seem long, but only 6 songs? I don't know. I think I realized David Bowie makes albums to actively listen to. If you are just listening to it while doing other things it's not very good? But if you are doing nothing but listening it's much better. Don't know how don't know why.

Great. I see what people like about David Bowie.

This is the first time hearing this and I love it! David Bowie fearlessly delivers lyrics with unusual melodies, while still managing to appeal and create hooks. Really impressive!

I find myself conflicted on David Bowie. I want to like his music, but when I'm faced with a whole album I just don't care for it much. 3/5

Not bad, not great. Bowie seems to be an acquired taste for me. 3/5

Ég verð líklega skammaður fyrir þetta en mér hefur aldrei fundist Bowie eitthvað sérstaklega spes. Mér finnst hann ekki leiðinlegur en mér finnst hann heldur ekkert frábær. Í mínum huga er hann frekar meðal sem hefur samt átt nokkur góð lög. Í seinni tíð hefur hann samt unnið á en þetta var samt meðaldót hjá honum. Ólíklegt að ég setji þetta aftur í spilun.

very interesting and different. Not sure I liked all of the songs, but I did like most.

Awesome

Bowie albums take time to grow on me more often than not. This might be 5 stars someday, but right now it's just pretty good.

Not a bad album. Not quite Ziggy Stardust, but a good listen regardless.

Previously rated: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (4/5) Aladdin Sane (3/5) The Next Day (3/5) Young Americans (3/5) ************************************************************************* Golden Years and some other songs. Average David Bowie stuff.

Not a bad album, but there's at least 3 better Bowie albums that deserve the spot.

Listed to some of it. Not mu cup of tea. 5/10

The most interesting songs on this album are those that juxtapose a soul/funk bass line against a rock/electronic guitar and vocal. Those songs drew me in.

I like it.

hingehört, aber nicht in der tiefe. besser sls ich bowie in erinnerung hatte.

Bowie is Bowie and Bowie is good (sometimes)

Golden Years and TVC15.

Recorded by a stoned David Bowie. Average with a singular star Golden Years.

ja wel goed maar ik denk niet echt banging ofzo

Side A>B Standout Songs: Station to Station Word on a wing

Another solid Bowie outing

Lots of bold choices on this album, even if it is a little boring. 3.0/5.0: Good

I think this was my least favorite Bowie album we've been thrown yet, it was fine, but it didn't do anything for me. I liked the last song, Wild is the Wind.

Favourite songs: Golden Years, Stay, TVC15 Least favourite songs: Word on a Wing 3/5

It was ok, not a big fan

It can’t just be me that thinks 50% of almost every Bowie album is filler can it? Why do I always find myself thinking, this could be so much better… It’s a standard Bowie album as far as I can ascertain. Average.

Golden Years sounds like Fashion. Overall it’s alright.

I bet there’s a lot of Bowie albums on this list. This one has a more familiar rock vibe that I dig. I’ve got a lot of respect for the man.

Bowie is about as middle-of-the-range as you can get, as far as I’m concerned. I don’t think an album of his will ever score higher or lower than 2.5 (rounded up to 3).

Bowie. Ik heb een soort haat-liefde verhouding met hem. Ik snap zijn muzikale kunsten, maar vind het niet altijd heel fijn. Ook dit album geeft mij "mixed feelings", al zitten er ook een paar erg leuke nummers bij. ***

Golden Years for life baby

David, David Du bist fleißig. Aber auch wenn dein Album ganz ok ist verstehe ich oft nur Bahnhof. Rockig ja, stimme ok - aber die Songs leider nicht fesselnd genug um überdurchschnittlich zu sein.

I read a lot about this one, but for me it was a solid meh.

3/5. Golden years was the standout song. Felt pretty run of the mill for Bowie.

Station to Station- Great but not playlist material due to 3 minutes of empty space. Golden Years- pretty good Word on a Wing- alright TVC15 - good Stay - great Wild is the Wind - good

Not really any standouts other than Golden Years.

I tried to like it but I simply didn't, sorry y'all

Didn't hate it. Couple really good songs.

The title track is an all-timer, but I'm not sure the rest of the album really reaches the highs that Bowie can reach. A great album nonetheless, but not one I feel compelled to re-visit.

Thought my headphones were broken to start with. Will return to track 3...

I like TVC 15 and kind of like Word on a Wing

Very mid, not super into David Bowie Top tracks: Golden Years

I do like this one, the funkiness makes it a lot more fun for me. But I think bowie's voice makes it so that i would rarely wanna put it on.

Bowe

Interessant

Not his best work but some good stuff on here.

Ok. 3.5

good

Interesting arrangements, but I don't get Bowie yet.

Some good tunes on here.

I don't know about this album, I'll have to give it another lesson but at first try it was kinda meh.

This wasn't my favourite Bowie album, but I did enjoy it. The guy's a genius, whichever way you look at it. Favourite tracks: Station to Station, Word on a Wing, Wild Is the Wind.

Давид Боев все еще не заходит

not my fav but still good to listen to while working

Golden Years is the star of this one.

Neat album that manages to be eccentric in just under 40 minutes, which feels very Bowie. Regardless of how much I like or dislike any given track on the album, they are all doing musically interesting things. There is some funkish flow to the music feel of a lot of this that runs almost uncomfortably close to disco with a track like Stay, but works well on tracks like Golden Years and TCV15. Cocaine was the co-producer of the album and had it's fingers all over. Highlights - Golden Years, TCV15

This album was very 'Bowie' - he's a wonderful storyteller through the medium of music. You believe everything he sings and you feel every bit of emotion he puts in to every track. The man just was too cool for this world, and this album was like a short love letter. Not his most brilliant but nothing was unenjoyable.

This is probably the least memorable Bowie album on this list and its inclusion is somewhat questionable like he already has 6 other insanely good and culturally significant albums on this list, what does this bring to the table that ziggy stardust doesn’t?

Smooth and easy. Good to play in the background.

I've just never really got David Bowie. It all seems so contrived.

Es un buen disco de Bowie. Tranqui, chill. No forma parte de su época ochentosa (es del '76).

Nunca me habia parado a oir un album completo de David Bowie. He de decir que me han gustado las canciones de este album y creo q se merece varias escuchas.

Album no. 11/1001 Decent but none of the songs stood out to me on first listen

Alright, it’s time I finally admit that I’m not as big of a Bowie fan as I’m “supposed” to be. This album is fine, but it’s no Ziggy. And I think I’m always wanting Ziggy.

Wild is the Wing best song of this album

Interesting arrangements, not my favorite

Not my favorite Bowie, but there are good cuts

Yeah... ok

Stay… best song on the album.

First time listening to David Bowie….it wasn’t bad!!

The slow start almost had me bailing out but I was in the car listening and I had nothing to but drive so I stuck with it. Bowie is Bowie. Super talented, enigmatic, theatrical, and clearly a HUGE figure in music for a very long time. Would I buy this one? Nope. Would I even think to stream it for some specific reason? Not really. But it was a good listen. Nothing bad to say about it. I've just never been a big David Bowie fan for whatever reason.

I appreciate that I'm finally listening to these David Bowie songs, and some of them really are brilliant. But I just think I'm not as enamored as others.

Bom álbum, ainda não li as letras, mas as melodias e instrumentações são ótimas, só não são do tipo que imediatamente tomaram meu coração.

Some good tracks, but not my favorite Bowie

Not my favorite Bowie. Instrumentals are a little uninteresting, they sound like they could be any random 70s band. Decent. Stay is a really good song.

Actually liked it better than Ziggy. Word on a wing is a fucking banger

Geht so. War noch nie der Bowie fanboy

mid for david bowie
