Station To Station

28th January 2022 Listened in the shower then drove back to glos for the weekend. Zavid getting a bit more experimental and funky. 4.5 if I could.

Station To Station has some stand songs, but overall this isn't one of my favorite Bowie albums. 4/5 stars

I firstly must admit that I am a David Bowie fan. On first few times of listening to this album I was not sure, now I love it. The title track is amazing. It was typical of Bowie to go in a totally different direction with his music although he knew it may alienate some fans. Definitely worth listening to.

Great album, from the opening sound effect to the closing crooning of Wild Is The Wind. Every time I play this I choose a different favourite, but this time it’s the funky Stay. Arguably one of Bowie’s more coherent albums in terms of a consistent tone throughout. Highly recommended.

I love it how Bowie just jerks around on the whole album, not bothered about format, styles and song lengths. He is free to be... an artist. He'd probably earned this right by the time Station to Station was released. Or maybe it was the drugs? The bass line on Golden Years could get a reaction out of a corpse. Love it how TVC15 was played at Live Aid.

3.7 - solid Bowie album without a lot of fat. “Golden Years” is one of my favorite songs of his.

Bowie coolness is its own coolness.

Very funky and vibey. Favourites - Wild is the Wind, TVC15, 2nd half of station to station

Sin ninguna canción icónica. Le voy a poner un 4 porque es Bowie...

Not naturally a Bowie fan but loved the electronica influences & story telling.

ik ben nooit een zeer grote bowie fan geweest, nooit de hype echt begrepen. Hier moet ik wel eerlijk zijn. Dit was goed. Beter dan andere albums imo. Hij heeft hits maar dit album vond ik all around goed.

Danku Bowie, is genieten ⭐️

got half way through but very sweet. Lots of interesting noises together on one album. First introduction to the Thin White Duke.

Well that was a thouroughly enjoyable listen Stand out track: Stay

Bowie. Šta reć? Čovjek koji po meni ima najviše odličnih albuma u povijesti glazbe, a samim time ovaj album spada u takove. Priča iza ovog albuma o tome kako se ne sjeća uopće radnje na ovom albumu mi je fascinantna. Sve u svemu odličan album, nije mi zasad u rangu sa Hunky Dory, Low, Ziggy... Ali nije daleko.

Hit or miss, Dačo never misses

Another one.

Pop rock.

The goblin king.

Another great 70s Bowie album.

About time I got a Bowie album. Wasn't familiar with this one but enjoyed it after a few listens. Literally not one track which was unpleasant to listen to and particularly liked Station to Station and Wild Is The Wind.

Bowie being Bowie. Excellent album some of the deeper tracks get a little artsy and esoteric for me. Overall enjoyable but not one of my favorites.

Station to Station is a space-age-cocaine-fueled insight into the mind of Bowie at the time with the Thin White Duke persona that he adopted. There are some very odd references that Bowie attributes to the album including references to the stations of the Cross and the Kabbalah. As Bowie was so disconnected with the album as a whole he attributes it "as a piece of work by an entirely different person". Best: Station to Station Worst: Wild is the Wind

Thank you album generator. I needed this today. Bowie is one of my all time-favorites. Having recently reviewed Blackstar, it's great to get a chance to go back to one of his earlier records. I have not listened to many Bowie albums in their entirety. I've listened to some live albums and over time I've heard entire albums in pieces, but not all in one sitting. I like that he reinvents himself from project to project. The "Thin White Duke" moniker is so cool - I wonder if he proclaimed himself that or if it was given to him. Either way, the fact that he incorporates it in his music is great. I think Station to Station as a song is a really fun "ride," starting with the sound mixing and then just the musical ride straddling genres. Golden Years is such a great song!

liked it a lot! like bowie in general

Definitely a classic. It's easy to see the complexity of the music and the layers of sounds that still stays within a rock genre but adding ecletic funk and style. Really easy to appreciate this album.

The last two Fridays we have been getting albums I own. That makes it easy… While this is not my favorite Bowie album, it’s quite good. It does have probably my least favorite song on it. Going to go through each track: Station To Station - the opening of this song is so menacing. I heard live versions first, check out the “Stage” version if you haven’t already. Adrian Belew is great in it. 5/5 Golden Years - is it wrong that I think of this like a b-side to “Fame?” It was released afterward and it has that same kind of funk for me. 5/5 Word On A Wing - eh. I always forget about this one, which doesn’t say much about it. 3/5 TVC15 - Ugh. I. HATE. This song. I remember hearing it on Live Aid, the “oh oh oh oh oh” were so grating. Transmission indeed. 0/5 Stay - Ah, NOW we’re cooking. I like the backup vocal in the high register. Very creepy. 4/5 Wild Is The Wind - I always felt this song was like a verse too long. I don’t know why. 4/5 Averaging those that’s right at 3.5. That’s at an ok to good. The one song really drags it down for me.

Outside of a few songs I could never stand Bowie's music. Not to say I don't respect him as a musician, just not my cup of tea. Golden Years still holds up. Word on a Wing is a pretty beautiful piece (even if I don't feel compelled to listen to it again). TVC15 is funky. Stay gets better the more you listen to it. Didn't change my view on Bowie but I give it a 4.

This was one of the earliest Bowie albums that I bought after getting into his music through his 90s output. Back when I first bought it the album didn't hit me that strongly but as the years went by I fell in love with it. It has such an assortment of different things dong on here that you can almost feel the cocaine-fueled frenzy that was going on in his mind at the time. I didn't realize that Wild is the Wind was a cover (Thank you Aaron) and will have to check out Nina Simone's version too.

Station to station and Stay are my faves. Pretty good.

A swankier and stankier Bowie than I heard on Heroes, but Eno and Fripp’s hand in the matter is sorely missed for me.

Can't go too far wrong with a Bowie album. Enjoyed this one

Actually very good. It is consistently good throughout the album. Short album but doesn't feel rushed.

Great to hear this again - just years ahead of its time. Love Wild is the Wind

Ascoltato distrattamente mentre studiavo. Però mi è piaciuto. Da riascoltare con più attenzione. Molto carina la prima. Le altre non mi sono entrate in testa.

🖤🖤🖤🖤

Slow beginning, solid beats, pretentious ending. Good background

Couple of good songs. Definitely would listen again but probably not going in the regular rotation

Solid 4/5. The Title Track is the strongest imo. Timeless Classic.

-"Golden Years" is catchy, but that might be because he says "Golden Years" about 475 times -I've preferred "Earthling" from Bowie

Really enjoyed this album - loved Golden Years

Beautiful-- so full of emotion and heart, making a powerful impression on the listener in feeling what Bowie is feeling. Best song is Wild is the Wind, for sure

Always enjoy Bowie. Liked that he did a cover of Wild in the Wind, and of course Heroes

fuck yeah. banger. rating - 7.5/10; standout - golden years, s/t, tcv15

Me ha gustado mucho!

Superfedt album, men ikke et af mine favorit-bowies

Nada fan de Bowie, pero se me hizo bastante fácil de escuchar

⛷🦴🤟🏿

My cat, coincidently also named Bowie, ranks this as David Bowie's 5th best album. He is a cat of discernable taste.

Already an album I knew I liked and didn’t disappoint. It’s on the lower end of the good Bowie stuff, but that’s pretty good by most standards.

good stuff

Jazzier and more danceable before Bowie hits his artistic peak with the Berlin trilogy of Low, 'Heroes', and Lodger.

It was obviously great, but it wasn't as good as his other stuff we have heard so far.

first Bowie album i've really enjoyed

Can you even go wrong with bowie? This is a testament to no

Ruchira: it was expressive. And jolly.

This is very different from everything else that I already listened to from David Bowie. I prefer his more recent work, but it's very interesting to listen to this album.

nice

Solid album from the Thin White Duke. The opening track, named after the title, was just over 10 minutes, but did include an intro mimicking a train station. Golden years is such a fun silly song and has always been one of my favorites and sounds like it influenced some of the new wave that followed like the Talking Heads. Overall I’d give the album a 9 out of 10.

The the intro to Stay with the funky guitar riffs by Earl Slick and Carlos Alomar is probably the most scintillating minute I've ever heard. Bowie's Berlin era albums are some of my favs, and you can hear the Eno and Kraftwerk influences here. Station to Station, TVC15 and Wild is the Wind are brilliant, but one of my least favourite Bowie songs -Golden years is on here so its doesn't quite get a perfect score from me

Pretty strong art rock from the thin white duke. 7/10, could be even crazier and left-field.

Cobain can you hear The Spheres singing songs off Station to Station? Notations toast its fun funky sound, love it.

good one, short but good

I thought I didn’t like Bowie. Maybe it’s just because I listened to this album without doing anything else at the same time, or maybe this album just hits better for me. Either way I enjoyed it

Golden Years is on this album. Worth listening just for that alone

Always love me some Bowie.

Bom dms, pena que é curto

This album is a showcase to how bowie as an artist can redefine him self through his different personas(in this case the "thin white duke") and still maintain the quality of music. You can still find the soul and funk that bowie was known for but he shows a different side along with it. The title track shows this and though it's 10 mins long it doesn't feel that way. Delivering a great journey of sounds. This album also has possibly my favourite bowie song "golden years" and again showcases his funk influences. The haunting singing on "word on a wing" helps to further his "new sound" with this album. He also gives you a dancey disco-esque track with TVC15, though for me slows down a bit much for the last 2 songs("stay" and "wild is the wind" but both are still good tracks) Not regarded as the best of Bowie but still a fantastic album to experience.

Was a bit distracted to hear this as a whole piece. But right from the intro it hit a few spots behind the ears and had me wagging my tail whenever I put it back on.

50 minutes of spacey jam, and plenty of space for contemplation. Absolutely wonderful, if not a little unmemorable.

really nice

thin white duke~ - C

Superb. One of those where I know I should love Bowie, but I've never properly invested the time in him. Very much enjoyed this and will be exploring more.

This album flies. And each song sounds like three songs

Bowie is always good. Fun, dramatic, cool.

ouvir mais.

Enjoyed it, quite a few Bowie songs that I hadn't heard before but thought it was good

Decent album from Mr. Bowie.

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.

Fedt album, men noget dystert og eksperimentelt 3.5 stjerne

7/10

Great long tracks

nice

Good. A little too 70s psych for me, but good.

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

First Listen Favorites: Word on a Wing Station to Station Wild Is the Wind Honorable Mentions: TVC15

Interesting but not my favorite Bowie album. Dude be shape shifting

I enjoyed the second half of the record very much.

Only 6 songs but a whopping 38 minutes. Enjoyable Bowie

It was alright but I probably won't remember this one specifically Standouts - 3/5

It was funky and fine, but not as good as some of his other albums.

El disco en sí lo disfruté, aunque no rescato ninguna canción en particular. Sólo que la última arranca igual que Sudestada de Los Piojos, quizás Ciro se inspiró de ahí. Tampoco me suelen gustar tanto los discos que tienen casi todas canciones de más de 6 minutos.

It's alright. Bowie at his Bowie-st. It has that coked up dancey feel that is prevalent through the mid 70s to early 80s in Bowie's discog. The famous Thin White Duke, and many of Bowie's legendary excesses, are associated to this album, and you can tell by listening to it. It sounds like what it is - the result of many strung out nights spent chasing flashes of inspiration. The album has a surprisingly sunny and cheerful sound, with a deep tiredness behind it. It is the sound of pretending you're still having fun on the 8th hour of the party.

You love, I love and everyone loves Bowie. 3 albums already though… and his one is the better of the THREE I’ve been forced to listen to. But enough now.

i felt very infinite

Felt I should give it a 4, so gave it a 3

Not bad - very Bowie.

Solid

I need to give it another listen but it didn't grab me

Bowie is good.. But also the most overrated of all artists ever

Well, its no Ziggy Stsrtardust. But it is a good enough album, mainly held back by the title track. Don't know if it was coincidence or not, but word on a wing definitely had the feel of Michael Moorcock and the Deep Fix (another glaring omission) released the previous year. The proper length for an album too. But held back by the title track. Hmmm, yeah 3 it is.

A nice collection of songs, though doesn't feel as essential an album as other Bowie records. Golden Years is an all time favorite though.

This was probably the most "just OK" Bowie album for me that we've had so far? Golden Years is great (wah wah wah) and Stay finds a nice groove. A lot of the rest just didn't grab me. Didn't really read or dive much into the lyrics, maybe there's more there? Could benefit from another few listens perhaps.

I liked it, but not jiving with me too much

Pretty cool :) 3/5

Nicht schlecht aber hat mich leider nicht so gehooked

Some good numbers on there. I like the feel. But I’m unsure if I’ll get back to it.

Very overrated album as Bowie albums go. I think he’s an incredible artist, but somewhat over represented on the list. If I was to remove a Bowie album it would be this one which I feel is transitional between his blue eyed soul era and the electronic era that was to come. If Bowie can’t remember making it (due to his excessive cocaine use at the time) why should I remember it as one of his best albums? 2.75⭐️

Favourite Songs: - golden years - Word on a Wing - stay

Almost feel obliged to give this a high score simply because it's Bowie but I wasn't that impressed.

Hey Dave. I didn’t like you all that much. Demonstrably bored. Fav Wild is the wind

very much meh. good thing david has eight more times to redeem himself

3,5

The 1001 book says that this is basically when Bowie is falling apart from addiction and writing some paranoid electronic stuff. So far Bowie only wins one album with me.

My first time ever listening to this album in full. What an interesting departure - I can't imagine the reaction when it was released! Though, as an 80s baby, it sounds closer to the Bowie that I grew up with than Ziggy does. Overall, I felt this really dragged in parts, which is wild as it's only 38 minutes long. I don't have any criticisms, just that I felt my attention drifting a number of times. My standouts: Word on a Wing

Unique melodies, strange and unusual while remaining poppy harmonies, catchy songs, great tones, but I still don't quite get David Bowie the way that I feel I should, and I can't quite put my finger on why.

Oh my god this album like i was listening to it before as is it was ok but then i read about it and wht the fuck man , a man dealing with his cocain addiction crazy, and the mmost fun ong for tvc15 I WANNA HAVE AS CRAZY AS A DRUG INDUCED HALLUCINATION AS THAT LIKE WOAH, also one of the songs which bowies wife states is for her isnt actually for her???? LMFAOOO its for elvis presley lol. but its cute that hed sing it to her, weird he said it was for presley

Probably sacrilegious to say, but I’m a bit tired of Bowie, and I think I still have 3-4 of his records to go. As with the others, I like the singles because they’re familiar and pretty much everything else is solid but didn’t stick with me. So, 3.5/5. Sorry, David.

Do like Bowie, but this is not my favourite

6/10

It was fine

Okay Bowie album

Not bad, but not the David’s best.

Fav tracks: Word on a Wing & Wild is the Wind

i don’t like bowie but i was surprised that i actually didn’t mind this album, definitely more listenable than all the other ones i’ve heard so far. i rolled my eyes at the first track being 10 minutes long but was surprised to find it was the one i enjoyed the most

I'm inclined to like this album, but it's not immediately irresistible. It has a lot of elements of his older material and elements of where he's going next, but it kind of neither/nor. I've actually listened to this album before, thinking along the same lines, "This was pretty good, I'll have to give it another listen some time," but then I didn't. I guess it's either just pretty good or it requires you to put more into it. I'm only giving it a 3 but I am making a point to listen to it again in a few days. Essential listening: no Desert island disc: no

75

안좋아하는 장르치고 ㄱㅊ음

Not my favorite Bowie album (that would be OUTSIDE) and not my favorite Bowie album from this era (that would be "Low"), but it is far more enjoyable than most of the singer/songwriter junk I've been forced to listen to from the 70s. STATION TO STATION feels to me exactly what Bowie was at the time time, all coked out and lacking focus and clarity. Tracks sometimes drag, which is surprising because the whole album is only 38 minutes long. I am convinced that a clean Bowie could have really improved this album greatly. I was also not a fan of the ripped off boogie woogie/ragtime track that formed the basis of "TVC15", though the lyrics inspired by Iggy Pop's weird ass dream were hilarious. I am reminded with this album that Bowie referred to himself as a clever thief, rather than a skilled musician, and you can hear that more during this era of his career more than his later work. Faves: "Golden Years" and "Stay"

A bit slow for me but really enjoyed Golden Years

Nice transitional album from the glam rock of the Ziggy Stardust/Aladdin Sane era to the more experimental Berlin years. Feels a bit slight at just 6 tracks.

It was a great company but I didn't get very impressed, the songs just went on (maybe because it's not my personal favorite music genre)

I enjoyed listening to this album

I like David Bowie but this was pretty mid unfortunately. I look forward to the next one, hopefully more my speed.

ну мені шось та

I’ve always dug Golden Years. 3.5

It's fine, nothing Bowie has clicked yet

Good album with a few standouts but short! Only 38 minutes?

Fairly good album, the song were all unique but compared to anything else david bowie has released this felt weak.

Amazing songwriter, one of the best. I can't find much joy in his voice. Just not for me, although it lends itself to the music well. The band is killer. Songwriting trumps technique, so realistically a 4, but personal enjoyment makes me rate it a 3. Fav track is TVC15 & Wild Is The Wind

not my shit

one of the best bowies, far from unforgettable though if you compare it to Low imo

Nice

3 stars I know I’ve listened to this a handful of times but I can’t remember half the songs from just the titles. Once they started I remember. It’s an improvement from “Young Americans” and is more of a transition into a blend of funk with his rock sound, as opposed to jumping fully into soul like Young Americans. “Golden Years” is perfect. For a lot of the rest I found myself feeling like the songs would be better performed by another singer. But the fact that Bowie made this album in a coked stupor and it’s still better than most artists will ever touch is impressive. But still mid for Bowie standards, and I’m sure casual listeners won’t be too impressed.

David Bowie has a crazy Discography. Bro was productive asf. Salute

Was OK, not my favourite Bowie era

It was short

Liked this one, needs a particular moment to really like. Classical david bowie music but every song has the same similar vibe I rate 6.8/10 just cuz I don't listen to this kind of music often. The song Stay was my favorite

We really haven't gotten many of Bowie's great albums

With each passing album Bowie gets better, but I think the albums are just getting a bit more tame, and I might just be getting more used to his vocal style. Enjoyed it.

I don't know how I feel about this. Extremely short album, but felt extremely long because of his hurt and calls for help. Could've skipped the full minute of train sounds... Probably would've liked the album better in a different setting. This isn't me saying it was a bad album.

Of course I like golden years that is a classic. I definitely like the first track as well, but it’s not like an album that I would throw on to listen to ever

Better than Blackstar

This has a lot I like, musically. But then Bowies horrible voice comes in and I'm turned off again. I see that I felt similar about Heroes. Guess I'll never be a Bowie fan, but I can appreciate some of what he does.

- this intro is wild, very progressive and still has some Bowie feel - I get why this is “good” but it’s not quite my jam - some really fun percussion throughout - some King Crimson vibes, especially on Wild is the Wind

70s art rock. Inspired bby kraut rock.

Was his Thin White Duke persona when he was only consuming milk, peppers, and cocaine? I prefer his earlier work.

Very long first song 1 minute of distorted train noise 😭 First part is so bad, second part fits his voice wayyyy better and is just so much more fun Second song is lowkey fun and yummyyyy Yeah these songs are too long and not rlly my style. I’m taking a break Listening again and TVC 15 is actually fun and peak but it’s the lowest rated on aoty ??? What. Wild is the wind is second worst dear god

Maybe more listens but off the first listen it’s alright

6/10

Now this is Bowie! And not one I'd have probably listened to on my own, as it doesn't have any tracks I knew of beforehand. I dig it.

Some ups and downs, but never boring, definitely a vibe. Looking for to checking out more Bowie

I feel badly writing this, but I've never really warmed up to David Bowie's styles and sounds across the decades. And while I often fault this collection for over-binging on a few artists (like David Bowie, Nick Cave, Neil Young, etc.), that's actually worked well for my exposure to Bowie; before I started this collection I think the only tunes I knew of his were the uber-singles, which is hardly a way to figure out if a band or artist is interesting or worth diving into. So, nine Bowie albums in (and this is the last one!), I can now say much more definitively that I can see why people have lauded him, but I just don't particularly enjoy his music. Album-wise, this also seemed fairly average for him, so three stars it is.

Not my favorite Bowie album but still a good listen. "Golden Years" is a great song.

Didn’t like most of this album.

I've seen lists with this at the top of all Bowie albums, but find it very hard to agree. I mean, it's brilliant, this man is a genius, etc... But it just doesn't connect for me. Ziggy Stardust is a level above this in my opinion. However, I've only listened to this once or twice, so I can't say my opinion is 'fully formed'. I enjoyed it overall! Will listen again one day.

No me gusta la voz de Bowie. Entiendo su influencia y su importancia, pero no es algo que disfrute mucho. La música está súper interesante

Listenable enough, and deserves praise for its varied sound and epic scope, but it doesn't stir or fascinate the way that Hunky Dory and Ziggy Stardust do. It lacks much in the way of hooks and if Bowie's vocals on Wild Is the Wind are among the best of his career, that highlights his limitations as a vocalist.

I never liked the Thin White Duke persona but I don't think I was supposed to. Now that I read the inspiration of fascist mythology and the occult in his work I understand my visceral dislike of the album in spite of my also being able to recognize it's musical merits. Mysticism and a pile of coke big enough to kill an elephant just might not be a great combination after all. Who knew? I just thought it was the krautrock influence that put me off. Sometimes I understand things that I don't actually understand.

Tykkään David äänestä, mutta se olikin ainoa mikä kantoi tätä levyä.

TVC15 was honestly the first David Bowie song I ever really liked when I was younger. I like Golden Years quite a bit, and I dig the title track (even though 10 minutes was pushing it). The other three songs? Eh. Stay has one of the funkiest openings ever, only to be undone once the singing starts. (Is this where I admit that I really dislike Bowie's voice sometimes?) Overall, I don't mind about half the album, so 3 stars.

The opening track almost made me abandon this album (I actually stopped 6 mins in and left it overnight because I simply did not have the patience for a 10 minute song). The rest of the album is great!

fourth david bowie album and I think we’re still yet to encounter a song that I know. how many still to come? I will guess 8. tvc15 was my favourite and quite liked from around 5 minutes on in the title track. I can for sure appreciate the range across all of these albums

Best Bowie so far for me !! Quite pleasant listen The song Stay is on it

Great opening track, the rest is just standard Bowie.

Not really my kind of thing, but it's alright. Maybe it would grow on me with multiple listens.

i don’t fare well with songs this length usually but it’s bowie so it’s amazing

Slow rise into the album in "Station to Station" that builds as you progress and prepares you for the rest of the album. My favourite song on the album is "Golden Years", the buzzy guitars with the punchy drums brings a nice vibe to the song with David Bowie almost ethereal voice. The songs do seem to get a bit repetitive with the same sound across the album.

I wasn't really feeling this one. It's interesting enough but kind of boring for me.

A fine album with a bit more of an edge to bowie. I'm unfamiliar with most of these songs besides "Golden Years". Unfortunately I rest saying this might be the weakest Bowie album on this list. Not a bad album but the others really left an impact on me musically. This one just kind of came and went as quickly as it could. I wish I had more to say.

didnt do it for me, crazy to think this guy has 9 albums in this.... overrated (?)

Pretty good

Ummm...it was a Bowie album with some songs on it.

I lik it

I really liked Bowies earlier albums but this one just doesn't do anything for me. golden years is quite catchy, but the rest is just OK.

no jest ok

Listening session: june 19th, while reading in Sicily Listened to before: no Thoughts: still not a Bowie fan, but this album was more enjoyable than his more recent work that I’ve had to listen on here Favourite tracks: Golden Years & Word on a Wing

I run hot and cold on Bowie. Sometimes he’s irresistible/immortal, sometimes he’s way too far up his own ass. This album is about evenly spilt between the two. He’s an experimental artist, so it’s natural that not everything sticks. It’s pretty apparent Bowie doesn’t worry too much about what I think, so I’ll be grateful for the many many songs that stay with me.

I respect Bowie as a talented and influential artist, but none of these songs really called to me. I'm familiar with "Golden Years" and "TVC 15" just from general exposure, but even those aren't among his best songs for my taste. I dig "Stay" for its disco-funk groove, but even it runs too long.

Personalmente non mi ha fatto impazzire, riconosco che comunque le canzoni non sono male

3.5 rounded down but close to a 4, really enjoyed the last two songs

didnt like start tbh then got funky i like word on a wing everything else mid tbh

It was okay, I could listen to it without skipping. However, for me, the genre mix of funk, art rock and piano rock didn't work. Also I thought the sound lacked power, it felt somehow weak the whole time. And it doesn't help that I don't really like Bowie's voice. Near the end it got better with "Stay" and "Wild Is the Wind". 2.5/5 - okay-ish

Güzel albüm ama introsu pek beni sarmadı. Favori şarkım: Stay

This list is made for old people

Ei parasta mutta silti ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very difficult to rate. I listened to it twice but just didn’t love it.

Surprisingly listenable for a Bowie album maybe because it was so short.

Station to Station - 2.5/5 Golden Years - 4/5 Word on a Wing - 3/5 TVC15 - 3.5/5 Stay - 3/5 Wild Is the Wind - 2.5/5

A Knight's Tale! Some good bass playing on this album;

It's a fine album. Nothing crazy and very short.

A David Bowie album on this list that I don't hate! I found this one much more fun to listen to. Hauntingly beautiful voice. Strangely enough, because I listened to this I spent the rest of the day listening to Wolf Parade, a band I got into when I was younger and haven't revisited recently. I honestly want to bump this up a star just for that.

It's my favourite bowie album i've heard so far, the title track is a brilliant song but there's a few forgettable tunes here and there...i liked word on a wing and TVC515 a lot though.

5/10

Cocaine is a hell of a drum

This is the first David Bowie album I’ve ever listened to in total. I am very familiar with his hits, several of which I count among my favorite songs. For some reason though, I’ve never delved into Bowieland. Now that I have, I am intrigued. I generally liked the album, but didn’t find it to be as impactful as I thought I would. His vocals are haunting and pure, the musicianship and melodies are great, but I didn’t feel wowed in any way. I guess I just didn’t really connect with the album very well. I’m curious to hear more of his offerings as it seems I’ll have eight more opportunities to solidify my feelings on Mr. Bowie throughout this journey.

No fav song

Weird electro-disco funk robo-music? I don't know--some amazing songs, but then the usual few Bowie experiments. Not super inviting but artistically interesting

Some loveliness and some great songs here, along with a few that are not so memorable.

Vintage David Bowie, which means I liked some of it pretty well and then was underwhelmed by other parts overall a decent listen

Not my favorite Bowie album. There was a few fluffers but some decent songs.

Not a big Bowie fan and this one hasn't really changed my stance. Some decent songs but not very memorable. 2.5/5.

Not my fave, thinking maybe I’m not a Bowie fan after all i just love ziggy stardust?

3.5 stars

There are some good hits on this one.

so far i like it, will be adding a few to my library. tvc15 is fav as of now.

Not me fave, but still Bowie

I liked some of the songs but you can definitely tell that Bowie was on drugs. I would listen again to some of the songs to see if it will grow on me

Not one of my regular go tos but nice to let her out for a spin

Not my favorite Bowie album but good. 3.5

Golden years is obviously great - the rest is standard Bowie - perfectly enjoyable but not something I would rush to listen to again.

161. nice

I do not know a lot of David Bowie, I always liked the hits but other than that I never listened to much, or any for that matter, of his other music. Looking at this album, only 6 tracks that are all pretty lengthy, I am not sure what to expect but I have an open mind and am willing to give it a shot. Its a slow start for sure, the opening track being over 10 minutes. David Bowie definitely has a signature "Bravado" about him, at times can seem pretentious. I can see why people like him, but for me the over the top vocals just don't hit me like other vocalists. Best way I can explain it is as if I was singing the song at karaoke but in a sarcastic/fake/funny way, the type of singing where you'd say "okay stop messing around and sing for real". I kind of enjoyed the album, but really with only 6 tracks I probably won't be returning to this one anytime soon, hopefully the other Bowie albums coming up will change my mind about him because this one didn't. 3/5

This got better as it progressed, the last few songs were great.

Not massively interested in this and I won't be revisiting, but overall it's not too bad

Es un álbum tranqui. No le presté tanta atención a las letras, musicalmente se me hizo común, algo que ya se escucha y conoce de Bowie (aunque el primer track es bastante interesante). No escuché mucho de Bowie, pero considero que este no es de sus mejores álbumes. De todas formas lo volvería a escuchar y probablemente lo haga.

Good, but not much stuck on my first (too inattentive) listen

Album clivant, que l'on peut adorer ou détester, des morceaux longs et assez groovy, une insrumental assez funky et rock. J'aime beaucoup cet univers, qui est un style propre à Bowie, avec une voix qui se transforme (grave ou aigue). Album sous addiction à la cocaine, nouveau personnage froid et hautain, sous influence de groupe allemand et sous motorik (pulsations - comme métronome, musique éléctronique).

I enjoy Bowie, but I'm one of those who mostly listens to the hits and best-of albums . This one was a good listen only 38 minutes so gave another listen straight after the first play. I'll probably keep myself focused on the hit songs.

Highlight: Golden Years. In a nutshell: "I'm ready to shake the scheme of things." A shake up indeed. It's another transitional album for Bowie - the bookend of the plastic soul era and the prelude to the famous Berlin Trilogy (Low, "Heroes", Lodger). Snaps to the backing band: a fucking powerhouse!!! Overall: 6/10

Not his best album, in my opinion.

Favorite tracks: Golden Years Wild is the Wind

Album is ok. Not my cup of tea, but worth a listen

not his best but a strong album and a great title track

Very enjoyable

Nunca había escuchado una canción tan larga. Pero me pareció un álbum original aunque corto. Igual es un gran artista, pero este álbum no fue de mi agrado en su totalidad.

I haven't heard this kind of sound or music before but I particularly like the last one because it is a sample of my queen, Nina Simone.

lo mejor que he escuchado de bowie, me gustó el flow pero igual el se me hace como aburrido, no es mala música solo no la escucharía. le daría más que al anterior pero calificar de 1 a 5 no da mucha libertad

fun IDk

A funky, groovy Bowie album. Very short, more laid-back, less theatrical or dramatic than his other songs I've heard. I think half of the songs don't really hit, but the other half are a good mix of easy going funk and that Bowie theatricality that i love. It's overall very short and light as an album

No es lo mío Bowie en general. Entiendo estaba drogado hasta la médula en este disco así que bueno, cool. No es algo que escucharía la verdad. No queda guardado

maybe it was the cocaine after all

I’ve heard stronger albums from David Bowie than this. 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 has a distinct atmosphere and some interesting ideas, especially in the longer tracks, but it doesn’t fully come together for me. At times it feels a bit stretched out, and not everything holds my attention. It’s a solid record, just not one I’d rank among his best.

Buen disco. No terminé de escucharlo pq se me hizo largo, son 6 temas me parece pero de esos que duran 7 min c/u. Mucha identidad Bowie, se nota que es obra de él

I understand why this album is on here and I do appreciate its sound but I think in general I just don’t love David Bowie’s music? Hot take yes, but his voice just doesn’t do it for me outside of certain songs.

Very short album in terms of songs (6) but there are some belters. Golden years and tvc15 hang together amazingly well. Not everything lands and still the voice can be irritating

7/10 Tough one. The title track is one of Bowie's best works. I love the buildup and the manic energy. The rest of the album is kinda mid. Highlights: Station to Station TVC15

Short. Pretty good.

pas autant de banger que je l'aurais voulu my bad

i will be revisiting this album this week because to be honest i didn't give it my best attention

Great title track, enjoyed Word on a Wing, TVC15 is my favourite, Wild Is the Wind is excellently mournful.

I'm aware of this album as it's usually ranked as one of Bowie's greatest, but I've never sat down to listen to it start-to-finish. So, uh, ... meh? I don't know. It's not bad, but I'm not sure I understand why this album is so beloved.

Enjoyed overall. 3.5

I am considering doing a bunch of cocaine so I can forget about this album as well.

This is not my favourite Bowie album, but still the master at work

This was cool. Not my fav album of his but Golden years is great. Kept my interest throughout.

I enjoyed this listen. Golden Years is of course the most recognizable, but the last track Wild Is The Wind was a standout for me too. Overall the record wasn’t one of my favorites of his, but still some solid Bowie. And to think this was the level of quality he was able to produce while essentially barely surviving on a steady diet of cocaine.

Underwhelmed by this one and questioning its inclusion. Sure it’s Bowie, but feels like a collection of B Sides that each drag on about two minutes too long

It was fine. Some good grooves and interesting songs. Bowies voice is always solid. But overall nothing that great on hear. Just good and not on par with much of his other stuff. 2.75

I fear that this is the album that confirmed for me that I just really don’t like David Bowie’s voice.

Fun

You either love David Bowie, or are indifferent to him. I'm somewhere in the middle. I love his hits, but the deep cuts don't really resonate with me. That said, there's no denying his genius. I enjoyed this record, but it's unlikely I'll listen again on purpose.

3/5 station to station

Vähän rokimpaa Bowieta ja parempaa sellaista kuin mitä oon aikaisemmin kuullut. Paljon normaalimpaa rokkia :D Parhaat: Station To Station, Wild Is the Wind, Word on a Wing

Idk why but not what I thought Bowie would sound like

O.K.

Not bad but not to Bowies usual standards

Is Bowie a divisive musician? I've always been aware of him and his work through his massive hits, even as I was growing up in the early 2000s, but I still just can't get behind the work I've come across on this list. The instrumentation of the tracks do a lot to help his case, but I think Bowie's vocals just miss the mark for me in such a massive way that I may never really appreciate his music. And as a result of that, this is one of the longest 38-minute albums I've listened to. Each song just goes on and on, Bowie's lyrics and voice meandering through the long tracks. 2.5/5

Me gustó que se escuche muy espacial con auriculares, sin duda muy acorde al nombre. Aunque si demasiada intro en algunas. Me gustó el ritmo y la voz en general.

I'm always pleased when a Bowie album comes up on here. Didn't take a super close listen, will come back to this.

Está bien

Not my favorite Bowie record

Feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's just okay?

3.5

David Bowie is cool. We can all agree on that. This album is ok though. I really want to love it but it's nothing ground breaking. 3/5.

Nice but not too nice...oldschool rock stuff...

3/5 04-05-2026

Not really a David Bowie fan, and having had a couple of albums of his already I have a feeling there are gonna be a ‘clutch’ of them. What I like about it is the intricate rhythms, guessing a 70’s soul undertone. (For example in ‘Stay’ and ‘Station’). Still haven’t developed a taste for Bowie’s vocal and it’s the thing I like least. So the ballads are my least fave tracks (ie the last one). Plus, even though I do like a long track (when something gets into a groove) I find a lot of this a bit repetitive and boring. It’s a 3.5 for me. Fave track: #1 first half of Station. Number tracks: 6 07/04/26

Good album, didn't stand out to me. 6.4/10

I don’t know why - but this felt OK…and just that. I know I’m not the only one that thinks this is way to many Bowie albums.

Strong, sophisticated album but not as good as some of the others of his on the list. 3

259/1089 5th Bowie album on this project and i think this is my favourite cover art of his omg it’s a good album, i think 3rd out of the 5. could definitely grow though faves: station to station and TVC15 68/100

A good Bowie album. Not his best but still good.

I'm going to go ahead and declare that it should be against the rules to put more than one album by the same artist on this list. Queen doesn't count because Queen is good. Edit: is this album fine? Yeah. But still, I'm sick of this dude.

Golden Years is a classic of course, but there are better Bowie albums out there

Deep in my soul I want to like Bowie more than I do, but I find this kind of boring? I’m not sure why it never grabs me. The song structure? The drama? I’ll just keep listening and probably never figure it out.

Solid, but the album doesn't really do anything for me personally.

Buen sonido, pero igual no me gusto muho, solo 1 cancion que ya conocia el restono. y muy corto me parecio, aprecio mas sus primeras epocas o ya mas lugo de los 90

3/5 Temas interessantes, porém a música é tediosa em boa parte do álbum.

Why is there so much David Bowie on this site? Cripes, if there’s one thing I’ve learned through the first 300 albums of this project it’s that there’s disproportionately a ton of Bowie in these 1001 albums. Unfortunately, I’ve also learned that I’m not actually that big of a fan of David Bowie. I'm not going to spend a ton of time on this one. I'll skim it. I've just not found that there's much in the deeper David Bowie cuts that has ever really resonated with me and I don't want to spend the time sifting through this one. I do like Golden Years quite a bit though. That song probably gets this record a full point. Actually, as far as David Bowie records go, this is probably the best one I've been presented with so far. 7/10

I don’t think the peaks in this album are all that high, but it is consistently fun. Not much else to say. It’s enjoyable but not that special. 7/10

need to relisten a but more but word on a wing and the title track are bangers

So good. He has such a musical range.

:)

Bowie. Not my cup of tea but listenable.

3/5
