Reviews (page 9 of 14)
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
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
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

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.
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
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
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

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
