Reviews (page 15 of 15)
1. Piano and guitar nice, eccentric instrumentation though. Bass tone is really nice. Vocals sound a bit out of place with the beat. The song gets better later on, guitar tone is nice and the piano is cool. 2. Guitars are nice, groovy beat with pretty cool chorus. Left ear guitar sounds really nice, psychedelic. 3. Piano is really nice, love the Rhodes synth in the left ear. Subdued role of the guitar is interesting, and the vocals sound pretty nice. Fading oohs during the break are a nice effect. Best instrumentation so far. Love the ending 1:30 part of the song. 4. Bass is pretty groovy all throughout, I like that its given room to shine in beginning by piano. Piano really works well in the song, and the guitar part is cool. Guitar groove during 'transition/transmission' is pretty cool. 5. Bass tone is nice, intro is pretty cool. Like the really crunchy guitar that joins later on. The chorus is really strong, and I like the strings that really add to the emotion Bowie expresses. The bongos are a nice touch. I do like how the bass shares the spotlight with the guitars. 6. The guitar is really nice on this, especially with the flanger. The bass is really nice too, and I do like how both guitars are about on even footing; neither gets more of the spotlight over the other. Not a fan of the delay on the vocals, but the sad tone of the song fits well with the flanger guitar. I do like how the song gets more intense about halfway in, you can really feel the strength of the emotion increase. I do like how a second acoustic guitar joins in in the last section of the song, I feel like it really does add to the overall sound of the track.
I know people love him but this album was terribly boring.
A classic album, not his best phase or best album.
This album flies. And each song sounds like three songs
Very overrated album. Golden years is not that good of a song.
Quick and fun 38 minutes. Let's rewind. I think the Thin White Duke era could be my favorite of Bowie's. Or does the preference always Ch-ch-changes?
Bowie is always good. Fun, dramatic, cool.
ouvir mais.
Not for me
Just too short. And golden years is too much of a hit to feel like part of the album.
Enjoyed it, quite a few Bowie songs that I hadn't heard before but thought it was good
Oldie pop radio music cool drums sometimes horrible overdubbed vocals funky but bland 3/10
Loved it
brilliant.
Decent album from Mr. Bowie.
Masterpiece.
Bowie is great but this was just good to me.
Great album, but not exactly my taste
I should listen to Bowie more often. Good vibe, rock and rolling.
Pretty good
Absolute great Album, so versatile and creative, never boring
A couple great songs and the rest is forgettable at best.
Fedt album, men noget dystert og eksperimentelt 3.5 stjerne
I’d never listened to this one top to bottom. So good. Might be my new favorite of his, but I definitely need to go through the catalog
Live recordings are great. TVC15 is catchy
7/10
I’d never listened to this album in its entirety before but I will absolutely be revisiting it. Frequently. An eclectic mix featuring a spectacular rhythm section.
Wild is the wind
Love this album
Great long tracks
nice
Amazing!
Very good song writing but not apreciated the vocal and instrumental
Good. A little too 70s psych for me, but good.
One day at David Bowie's house, Iggy Pop took a bunch of drugs and hallucinated that his girlfriend was being eaten by a TV, so naturally, Bowie turned it into a song. He was so coked out while making this album that he says he only has one memory of asking for a certain guitar riff, and nothing else. I think the lesson here is, if you're going to do drugs, you should either be as talented as David Bowie or have a friend with that level of talent that can turn your experience into a trippy song. Best track: TVC 15
Everything has that grand piano feel. Really unexpectedly short. Very good and I finally get the station to station reference.
Any Bowie a solid 3
Remains the Bowie album that I really should return to more but never do to a sufficient degree to really understand it. It has the right ratio of experimentation, with neither the tracklist nor any of the tracks feeling bloated. This may be the first time I heard it by itself, and not as the prelude to the Trilogy. Or maybe I'm crazy.
7.5/10
I liked it, Bowie is always a great listen to me because I never follow him closely but every project I listen to feels like a journey with his creative process, the good, the bad, the experimental
the opener of this album is weird i wasnt into the first half at all but the second half was so stupidly good i had to go back and check like did i miss something? was i not paying enough attention?? but no it really is just that split in quality. golden years is really good, easily the best song here imo. not a single second of wasted space which is kind of hard for a lot of 70s rock apparently. like damn a lot of songs just went on and on didnt they. its not even a bad thing just nice to get a song thats actually compressed down like that. anyway the ballads arent bad at all, i see a lot of people saying theyre the worst songs here but disagreed. theyre dramatic enough to work. also i still have trouble telling what the fuck hes saying but apparently this is just a concept album about how pathetic some fascist dude is. wild 9/10
