Low

Weird and trippy and not at all what I expected. Very artsy though

me gustó 7.5/10

Experimental, creepy and cold. Very weird but not in the worst way. It was okay.

Listening notes: I first listened to this while on vacation in Hawaii, and the vibe was not quite right. I ended up turning it off before finishing it. Picking this back up after getting home: Kicking off with some great riffs on Speed of Life, kindof a weird Rolling Stones sound. Instrumental, interesting choice for an opener. More funky weirdness with Breaking Glass and What in the World. Sound and Vision: awesome single. Love this one. Always Crashing in the Same Car, this is pretty cool. Be my wife: guess this was a single but kinda forgettable. A new career in a new town - nice and bouncy Waszawa - alright it's getting dark and strange. More moody with Art Decade Weeping Wall - kindof a Philip Glass feel here then back into the creepy darkness with the closeout Subterraneans. Yeah this is decidedly not a Hawaii album haha. I liked it more the second time. But it just feels like the first and second half are very different albums, and I wasn't quite ready for the second one today. I'm intrigued, but left a little confused. Very experimental. Wouldn't seek out the album again. 3.5/5, round down

Quite average

Uno de los más influyentes discos de Bowie (y ha tenido varios). El del comienzo de la trilogía berlinesa, que si se alimentaba de pimientos y cocaína, que si Eno e Iggy Pop, que si tal y que si cual... Como temas más conocidos están la instrumental Speed of life y sobre Sound and Vision. Always Crashing in the Same Car y Be My Wife (segundo sencillo del álbum) presentan a un Bowie más convencional. Otro instrumental cierra la cara A: A New Career in a New Town, que tiene algunos trazos de TVC15 y de su periodo Thin White Duke. La B es la más reconocida, sobre todo por Warzsawa, tema con enorme carga ambiental, voces y coros tribales y todo tipo de novedades que seguramente hicieron fruncir el ceño a sus habituales seguidores. Art Decade, mantiene ese tono espectral y Weeping Wall con Bowie tocando vibráfono y xilófono. Subterraneans cierra el disco con más pasajes intrumentales y Bowie tocando un inquietante saxo. Un disco que fue recibido con tibieza por algunos, y que ha ganado mucho con el paso del tiempo. Disco esencial de la explosión del 77 (junto con los de SEx Pistols, Talking Heads, Ramones, The Clash, Television, Bob Marley, Iggy Pop, The Jam, Suicide, Mink Deville, Kraftwerk, The Modern Lovers, Elvis costello... también Fleetwood Mac y Bee Gees...).

Lidt for stenet til min smag...

4. Sound & vision is very funky background Overall very low tempo. Cool sounds. Very atmospheric, but nothing that really grabs the attention

Sound and Vision - total classic A new career in a new town - the harmonica reminds me of the The!

I give this 3.4 rounded to 3 stars. I love Bowie but this was not close to his best despite many reviewers loving the Berlin trilogy. The first half was good and I really enjoyed Sound and Vision and Be My Wife. The second side was full blown arty electronic music mostly without vocals. While it was interesting, it's not something I'd go back to over and over like some of Bowie's classic albums.

gut, aber bleibt für david bowie verhältnisse wenig hängen bei mir

I liked this. I like the instrumental and I thought it was unique. I haven’t really listened to Bowie before, like actually sat down and listened.

Pretty cool and decently different, but not exactly life-changing or essential. And certainly not as avant-garde as it likely regarded itself to be. The experimentation is pretty tepid and derivative in the end. "Sound and Vision,” “Be My Wife” and “A New Career in a New Town” are best cuts. One doesn't much like the sound of "Breaking Glass." The instrumental second side is pleasant enough but drifts in to so much Enonian noolding. There are plenty of musty/dusty synth lines that sound as if Vincent Price may have dropped by the studio. Others are direct rip-offs of Kraftwerk or Neu, offering yet more evidence of Bowie as shameless imitator rather than true innovator. One can see why afficianados would consider this a hidden gem, but, given the significant superfluity of Bowie records on this list, impartial listeners might hear a likely candidate (among at least 3 and maybe 5 others) for culling.

Liked it but david bowie isnt my genre

Pretty good. Brian Eno’s hand is evident on the second half. It makes for great soundtrack for a movie, but less so for a commute. As a general rule I like some of Bowie’s stuff, and this album holds to that.

This album is certainly interesting and worth hearing, but it’s not my jam. I’m sorry that the pretty pop/rock star got hooked on cocaine and had to go to Berlin and listen to ambient music and krautrock while getting clean, but that doesn’t make him an ambient musician or a krautrocker. It just makes him a strung-out tourist. He does well when he is making his pretty pop/rock (“Sound and Vision”) but the rest of this is Bowie doing something other than what Bowie does best. So it’s just not that great, despite the music nerds overhyping it for the last decade. Also, hey late-70’s David Bowie: https://youtu.be/-E3dwBabYBY?si=meE0-IpG0H4__NT3

1001 albums is making me consider something unexamined about my music tastes... do i just not like david bowie very much? this is a very strange thing to discover about yourself in your third decade of life. i have always been Someone Who Likes David Bowie. ziggy stardust is a masterpiece! his singles and big songs are incredible! so why am i so unenthusiastic about all these albums? i don't know, but i wasn't vibing with this one. 1001 albums being what it is, i think i still have a few more albums of his to try out, but i do not like this new frontier of doubt!!

this is my fifth david bowie from this list in under a year. I'm starting to realize that what i thought would be glam rock all the way down is actually more like a new genre exploration every album. this one has two: german electronica/art rock and ambient. i actually enjoyed the former and thought this might be my favorite album of bowie's since ziggy stardust, but then i hit the ambient part and was bored to death. favorites: speed of life, breaking glass, always crashing in the same car, be my wife, a new career in a new town

Meh.... I like words, I love lyrics. Not a fan of mostly weird musical sounds strung together in unhinged melodies. But I love David and these albums seem to bee of some significance in his musical journey.

Not my favorite of his. Some of the instrumental stuff was beneath him in my opinion. He's a better writer than that. Felt contractually obliged.

Didn't blow my mind, but I like it.

Disjointed, one half is rock and the other half is electronica?

Not my jam

I love Bowie, but this one didn't hit for me.

David bowie good but there are better albums of his

This sound is very different from all of the other david bowie i’ve heard before, and i’m here for it. It is weird listening to a David Bowie album that is for the most part instrumental, but i guess it’s like the three stacks record. Overall i really like the sound space he taps into although on some songs the phrases can feel pretty repetitive and not completely thought out (like on weeping wall and what in the world). Some songs just sound much more coherent than others, like sound and vision and subterraneans feels much more… intentionally put together.

I enjoyed this album for ambient background music, but probably would not return to it. It’s all a bit too avant garde for me. I did enjoy it well enough, 3/5

Bowie’s good of course, kinda bores me half the time though

There were a lot of different feels and emotions in this album. At first I wasn't sure about all the heavy instrumental songs, but they were good, A New Career in a New Town was one of my favs. I don't know if they all worked together but most of the pieces I really enjoyed.

The first half of this was pretty cool and funky. Then things went super ambient, which I didn’t mind, but it felt like two different albums. Sounds like he was really going through it at the time with trying to get sober, and this was sort of a mish mash of his experimentations in the face of all that. Cool grooves overall!

Cara, que doido! É o segundo álbum do Bowie que eu escuto, e parecem dois artistas completamente diferentes, que interessante isso. "Low" mostra um Bowie mais introspectivo, contemplativo até, e apesar da produção em si não ser tão compatível com meu gosto, a qualidade é inegável.

When I listen to this David Bowie album, it fells like I'm at the space, felling the aura of the stars. Nonetheless, you have to find the perfect momentum to listen to it.

Spacey, mostly instrumental

3.5

Very genre inclusive.

Cool sort of instrumental record

The problem with being on the bleeding edge with new technology is that it massively dates you in the future. This album is kind of the equivalent of a 14lb mobile phone shaped like a brick. It’s not that I don’t see the foundation it set (a young Trent Reznor’s mind must have been blown), and I certainly appreciate what’s to come from this genre, but to me, this sounds antiquated as hell. That’s not to say it doesn’t have its moments! There are a couple catchy songs on the first half, even if they do sound as fresh and relevant as bluegrass, and the second half has some nice ambient songs that are thoughtful and interesting and show that Bowie is not a linear thinker. It’s about as far from Ziggy Stardust as you can get, and it was an interesting listen. I’ve never heard any of these songs, and I wonder if this is a harbinger of Bowie’s later albums/sound. I read in a comment somewhere that this project allegedly has NINE Bowie records, so we’ll see.

Honestly this was a bit weird

Syret!

Clearly a very experimental album that sounds way younger than it's 1977 birthdate would suggest. Listening to 'Warszawa' for me evokes feelings of celebrated modern movie ambiance/soundtracks like Inception and Interstellar. Not my favourite Bowie tracks, but I can easily see how it challenged the notions of what music should be at the time and inspired other artists. Standouts Warszawa 3/5

Bowie is Bowie. Like it don’t love it

I thought I'd listened to it before, but it didn't sound familiar. Interesting experiment with the second half being ambient music. Nothing stands out on this album. I enjoyed the second half more than the first. I wouldn't think it needed inclusion on this list but I guess it respresents a major pivot in Bowie's career.

Interesting. Didn't love it...didn't hate it.

The most different Bowie album I've heard so far. Very atmospheric, but I feel there's something missing to really draw me in.

Lidt mere ambient end de andre Bowie plader. Ikke nogle direkte bangers .

Subterraneans Sound and vision Warszawa

NOT A BIG FAN OF BOWIE, BUTTTTT The second half of this album is great.

Never enjoy Bowie much

People like Bowie more than I do

That was pretty cool I liked it 3/5

No radio hits. Some instrumental tracks.

atmospheric bowie

Too British for me. Sowwy

Did not understand the concept of this album. Some good songs and some very forgettable songs.

Pretty enjoyable but not a standout for me

Uh fr

Fine. Was hoping for more with the Kraftwerk and Neu! influences reported. Best Bowie so far.

First half is a 4, 2nd half a 2.... So 3 stars.

not up to the standard of the other bowie albums but the final few tracks had great instrumentals

This is a weird one, even for Bowie. Very cinematic, as opposed to his usual theatricality, with a tiny bit of early chiptune on one of the tracks. I know the Berlin Trilogy is influential for a lot of bands that I'm a fan of, but this one doesn't do it for me. I'm glad I listened though.

3.5. Segunda parte do album praticamente toda instrumental. Um som espacial. Bom para relaxar. Bom álbum.

A but too experimental for my taste

I admire Bowie for stepping away from what people want to hear and doing what he wants. This isn't a commercially good album but it's an interesting listen. Half familiar Bowie and half Krautrock/dune soundtrack.

I don't think I have ever listened to this album all the way through. In classic Bowie style, he writes a couple of singles to appease the part time fans record labels then does what ever the fuck he wants. Personally, maybe I'm a casual fan because I want more songs like Sound and Vision, but God bless him for doing what he wants on his terms.

Liked it, didn’t love it. Appreciate Bowie and Eno, to be sure, but I haven’t dug deep into the catalog of either. This album was no doubt influential in and representative of its time, but most of the music sounded … familiar at this point. A-side was recognizable as Bowie, for better and worse. B-side, though pleasant, had me ready to move on before it was over. Very glad to have kicked off my 1001 Album Generator journey with this work. I had never heard most of this music before and haven’t listened to an album all the way through in along time. Good stuff. This is going to be fun.

2.5 Nothing really stood out to me with one listen (and it wasn't a particularly engaged listen on my part)

- interesting variety of sounds especially on the second half - not really something I'd go back to a ton but I respect the talent

- interesting mix of background music and pop songs - I kind of enjoyed it but not thoroughly

Not my favorite album by David Bowie but some of the instrumental tracks were very cool on the back half of the album.

My first Bowie album of the project, and my first Bowie album full stop - I've tried before, and he never really stuck, and I think the problem was that I had a best of, and if this album is anything to go by his work really benefits from being heard amongst other tracks that were recorded at the same time rather than being cherry picked. What I'm saying is that I enjoyed this album, and really enjoyed the first half especially. The second half is a bit aural wallpaper, but it wasn't at all bad and the first half was really good. Glad I had this today.

An excellent Bowie album from start to finish! Blow me down!

Um álbum um bocado diferente do David Bowie, tendo fortes traços de sintetizadores e músicas mais suaves focados nos instrumentos em junção com esta sonoridade mais "cósmica" proveniente destes sintetizadores elétricas, músicas tais como o Speed of Life, Warszawa e a subterraneans. Pelo que compreendi este álbum é conceptual, seguindo o station to station. Todas as canções parecem uma história continua de um jovem a mudar-se para um novo lugar, começando com as suas peripécias e terminando na realização desta mudança. Um álbum interessante, não o melhor do Bowie, prefiro o Hunky Dory que ouvi neste "projeto". Destaco a música Always Crashing in the Same Car. Nota: 6/10 20/05/2024

Music is pretty good. Overall a little to avant garde for me.

Bowie, meh

3/5 - just not a fan

It’s good! Maybe not GREAT. Love Sound and Vision. The others are not as memorable.

Meh. I'm just not that into Bowie. 3/5

Don’t like: Funk parts, almost circusy at times, too many long and slow instrumentals in a row. Like: Driving Bass, Disco Beat (“Be My Wife”), Harmonica/keys overlay (“A New Career…”) Sound and Vision - Always Crashing in the Same Car - Be My Wife: AWESOME Subterraneans outro - EPIC Overall: will comeback for 4 tracks. The rest not really for me.

After that stuff from Zappa and the Moss Story, I really didn't want to hear a half album of instrumental/orchestra stuff. Damnit, Dave. I see Jane next so at least I know I have a very good album coming up next. Through this list, I have been recognizing all the great contributions to the music world form Bowie, even appreciating a lot of stuff I overlooked when I was younger. This wasn't his best effort. Look, I did enjoy from Breaking Glass through A New Career in a New Town. But damn, from Warszawa through the end, well, I just don't get it. Maybe the big fans of Bowie enjoyed this, but a pass from this listener. Could be the effect of the previous couple albums, but after A New Career, this album should have just ended. It's Bowie. I'm not going to rip him here. I just didn't think this his best effort putting together an album. Again, it's Bowie so I'll go with a 3. Mainly because I want my son to think I'm a cool dad. ;) 3

Good background music to listen to. It felt very calming but a bit boring.

Wasn’t a fan of the first half, loved the last half. 3/5 for balancing that.

This is a repeat for me from before we created the group. I'm wondering what I wrote on my first pass. I suspect I am enjoying it more on this pass than on the first. I had fun letting this wash over me while doing my work e-mails. Very ethereal at times, mellow overall. Just a pleasant listening experience. I didn't recognize any track (beyond hearing the album a month ago, of course...), no radio hits/charting singles that I knew. I think Sound and Vision was the highlight for me.

This album served a purpose for post-punk way before the world knew it needed it.

It's like when you serve the best wine at the start of the party and then just swill at the end.

twas ok but i liked the first half a lot more

I felt this was an album of two halves, the first half had more energy and felt more like Bowie, whereas the second half was a lot more industrial and felt a bit hollow and depressing. I can admire the album for what it is and am aware that it was a pivotal turning point for Bowie, but I can't say it's my favourite album of his.

3 stars

Ambient and psychedelic. A little too experimental for my taste even if it is Bowie.

Like David Bowie. Good album. 3 stars

I vibed to this for sure, not as eccentric as his other work but still very heartfelt

There are definitely David Bowie albums worth listening to, but this wasn't one of them.

I don't hate it, but I wouldn't listen to it again.

not my bag in terms of bowie

I didnt realize going into this album that there were so many songs or big portions of songs with little to no lyrics. It's a very middle of the road album for me!

More of an instrumental album. I found it interesting. I give it 3 stars.

No he conectado mucho con este disco, pero Bowie siempre interesa.

good album, not my fav bowie tho. sound and vision only one i knew beforehand. most of it wasnt memorable to me from just one listen

I get why it’s so influential, but it’s not so much for me

If I were to rank my favorite David Bowie albums, this would probably be pretty low (heh) on the list. But it’s still a fantastic album, that just goes to show how amazing Bowie is. The first half of this album consists of songs with a similar vibe to his earlier albums, particularly Aladdin Sane, and I love all of them. “Sound and Vision” is an all-time great Bowie song. The second half of the album, starting with “Warszawa” co-written by Brian Eno, is mostly instrumental songs (all but “Subterranean”) and all have the minimalist vibe that I don’t love nearly as much as the first half of the album. The Eno influence is clearly there despite him only being credited on the one track. I do like the songs thematically though, because it blends the desolation Bowie saw in post-war communist Eastern Europe with his own drug addictions that he was recovering from at the time.

It's fine, but this being a Bowie album doesn't make it fundamentally amazingly.

A lot more instrumental than I thought, good, but not some thing I would listen to every day.

For an album he was sober for, he doesn’t sound so sober. Interesting choice to make the last couple songs all instrumental. Favorite: Sound and Vision Least favorite: Warszawa 3.7/5

Intersting and satisfying album.

No me termina de gustar este disco. Aunque me gusta David Bowie, este no es realmente de mi agrado.

Buen disco con unos arreglos tremendos y un género inencasillable... tipo un funk progresivo ?

An intriguing album that has yet to grow on me. Side A is boring, but side B is where things start to pick up. Yeah, this may be a controversial opinion, but I much prefer the instrumental portion of the album. 7/10

Second Bowie album already. This album was very different and has Bowie working with Brian Eno. This is electronic, avant garde music that is fine. I enjoyed it more than I thought I might while at the same time being glad it did not last longer.

own

David Bowie - awesome. Can’t wait to listen to this and discover some deep cuts that I know I’ll love. Never heard this album. Ok - I know a couple of songs great. Track 8 come on - ok little atmospheric. Then the record just stays that way. Waste of time. Came in expecting to give at least a 4, came close to giving it a 2.

Side 1 is great. Best songs are Sound and Vision, Be My Wife,

Lost me in the last 1/3 of the album. My friend said I have to be on heroin to get it. I called everyone I know. Couldn’t get hold of any. I just don’t move in heroin circles. I wished albums like this would flag the need for heroin. I can’t just magic it up. Surely they should have a warning or something like the parental guidance sticker from the 90s. ‘Heroin Advised’ or something. I feel like the lack of heroin has really dampened my experience of this album. 3.4

Bowie, you didn't do your best work on this one. Sorry to say, Average.

Good

energetic opening unlike anything ive heard of synthesizer go brrr a bit uneven tho sounds really good wouldve been more cool if the songs segued with each other the lyrics could be better okay im a bit bored now pink floid stuff hapenning rn its my first time listening ill give it a 3 maybe a bit harsh ig

A good Bowie album but certainly not his best. I like the lean toward ambience. All in all an ok listen. 3/5

3.4 This was a new listen for me, but hardly sounded like something from 1977. The back half of the album felt like the soundtrack from Blade runner, which was released in 82. Sure sounds like Vangelis borrowed from this sound. The first three songs didn't have much vocal content, but the funky jazzed up kazoo sounds kept it interesting & I was excited to hear the rest. Track 4 almost had a rockabilly guitar with funky synths later in the song...still no vocals just some sighing. Then vocals come in 3 mins into a 6 min song...found that very interesting. Tracks 8-11 is where I felt like it was a movie soundtrack. Very different and enjoyable...I really enjoyed listening to all the moving parts.

The first half was interesting and nice, the second half was a weird long instrumental section. Stand-out: Always Crashing in the Same Car

Thoughts before listening: One of the albums from Bowie's Berlin era. This one gets a ton of praise from journalists but I've never found this phase of his career to be as fun as the Hunky Dory/Ziggy Stardust era. I'm excited to give it another listen though. Review: So this album is a little hit or miss for me. I like the actual rock songs such as "Sound and Vision", "Speed of Life", and "Be My Wife" which sound like a precursor to much of the late 70s/early 80s indie rock I love so much. However, I am not as into the Brian Eno ambient stuff. I mean I understand the talent that goes into those songs, its just not something I gravitate to when listening to music. If this was all avant garde rock songs I'd give it 4-stars, but instead this gets a 3.

Only 17 albums in and this is my third Bowie. They are starting to sound the same.

Musin only. Soft, maybe too much soft.

I like the instrumentals. My favourites are sound and vision, always crashing in the same car, a new career in a new town. The lesson I learned here is I should listen to more instrumental-only songs where men finally learn how to stfu. 3/5

Started off pretty normal but by the last few tracks I had to check if I already finished the album and accidentally switched to "calming extraterrestrial study beats" without knowing. It was a different sound than the first David Bowie album we heard (Ziggy Stardust), but not in a bad way at all. Favourite tracks were Speed of Life, Sound and Vision, and A New Career in a New Town, and the instrument-only tracks were chill too. Time and more listens will almost certainly increase this rating, but for now I'll put it at a respectable 3 - no real standout hits but very enjoyable nonetheless

Never knew Bowie did an album that was 95% instrumental. Wasn't bad, but I wasn't ready for it either.

Another Bowie album with some quirky sounding songs and a long artsy section. None of the songs were really bad but none were memorable. Every instrument was so evenly mixed in it was kind of hard to distinguish anything

I remember when I bought the pre-recorded cassettes for Low and Heroes back in the day I wasn't impressed. The sound was gloomy, dark and songs moved as far away from mainstream music as possible. This was the first of Bowie's "Berlin trilogy" with Eno and explored a experimental and ambient electronic sounds, something I didn't appreciate at the time and thought he lost his mind. Listening now, decades later, it's still a somewhat difficult listen and it borders between, strange and brilliant. If you listen to the trio of albums (Low, Heroes, Lodger) now, it's no longer surprising or shocking, but a slow burn of avant-garde pop, not worrying about commercial appeal, while exploring the musical styling and influence of Germany surrounding Bowie around this period. Fascinating and worth rediscovering, though not for all and you have to be in the right state of mind and mood to appreciate it.

I don't know how I feel about this album. I like David Bowie, generally speaking, and I like the overall sound of Low, but a little of it goes a long way and there's a lot here. Ultimately, I think this album is a little too conceptual for me.

Not a Bowie fan per se. overall it was an ok album but no big stand outs as far as songs

Sound and Vision is a banger. Warszawa is beautiful. There are some other highlights throughout, but all the extended instrumentals don't really land for me. Kind of forgettable.

Legend. Died way too young. Not his best album, but classic Bowie.

Warszawa 10/10 a tak to średni

Pretty cool stuff to have on while doing other stuff. Not great for driving.

I really enjoyed the first half of the album with sound and vision and be my wife being the obvi standouts. The second half was more experimental and not to my taste as much.

Chiller Bowie album fav song be my wife

Not Bowie’s best, but still better than 99% of the other stuff on here

Nyeh...

Pretty instrumental and experimental like

Probably harsh and may grow on me but not a great first listen

Didn't we do this with Heroes already? The thing were the songs suddenly transition into ambient music? (I know it was Side 2 of the LP, but I still don't quite get it.) Having listened to about 11 David Bowie albums in this project so far, this one doesn't stand out for me at all, Side One or Side Two.

Okay, it starts more or less with a David Bowie sound, although not specifically anything that I know. Then later I’m wondering if I’ve somehow wondered off-track. Not that it was bad, but I just wasn’t sure that I was still on the album. At some moments a 4 and others a 3…

Classic early Bowie. Probably wouldn't listen to it very often.

Sin más

I'm not a huge Bowie fan, and expected to go 2/5. But, I really liked the instrumental and experimental aspects of this. Some songs were actually in my tastes.

A bit on the strange side, even for Bowie.

This is music for aliens. No doubt about it. There is a lot of genius here, but it's too extraterrestrial for me. If I came from the planet this originated from I'd probably give it 5 stars.

Love Bowie but not my favorite album

3.7 Bowie er egt nice men litt skuffa nå

One of the first albums I listened to when I was doing one-a-days before this 1,001 albums program started. This was fine, and I appreciate its historical significance for Bowie and the era it came out in (disco, early new wave), but this is all just OK for me. I like early Bowie better.

Sound and vision is great, the first half is good, second half much less listenable - although interesting

Not bad, some I knew but mostly not my style

Much more instrumental than I expected but I really enjoyed. Again, this just goes to show how much more I need to listen to Bowie.

I didn’t get through all of the songs. I never did follow David Bowie so it was a challenge to stick with it but overall I didn’t mind what I heard.

I had no idea this David Bowie record existed. It's whacky and experimental. It's pretty fun but I feel that the instrumentals get a bit repetitive sometimes. The synth sounds were a fun addition and added some depth though. The second half of the album has some pretty cool and unexpected instrumental songs.

Not really my favorite Bowie.

3/3,5? Ik houd ervan dat elk Bowie album een duidelijke sound heeft. "Sound and Vision" is een van mijn lievelingsnummers. De rest van het album is goed, soms beetje obscuur, maar niets overtreft dat nummer.

Bien-mal. Un sonido que no pasa de moda, pero unas canciones que han pasado sin dejar poso en mí.

It only gets this high a rating because I could listen to the last four tracks forever. The rest of it is completely ignorable. I think if someone else made this, some rando instead of Bowie, it doesn’t get listed here.

enjoyable Bowie. Does he really have a bad album? "Sound and Vision" remains one my favorite Bowie songs

First half of the album was decent. Second half got a little weird

I've always liked Bowie the person more than his music, something about his Art pop just doesn't land with me all the time. This album is definitely in that same camp. Some fun songs, but its all very experimental and not cohesive for me. It feels like he made it for himself rather than his audience, which is fine but I didn't love it.

was not bad

Day20 - it’s a fine bowie album and if i keep listening im sure it will grown on me

I don't know any of Bowie's albums, only his hits. I really like Sound and Vision so I thought I'd enjoy this album more than I did, though I do also like Always Crashing so maybe I need to give it a few listens.

I wonder what he drew on the carpet. Haven't I had sound and vision on a different album already? Like an 80s soundtrack. Ahead of it's time then I guess. Can appreciate potential for influencing.

Enjoyable but other than the hits i didnt feel much

I would listen to album again when I want something different.

Starts of strong with some good riffs and melodies but then strays into a spacey instrumental focus in the second half of the album that I wasn't a big fan of.

Da muss ich nochmal genauer hinhören

Fascinating! I've never delved into Bowie too deeply, but I always wanted to. I'm glad I'm doing this 1001 thing for reasons like this. The chameleon of the music world reinvents himself as a Krautrocker, you can hear the German influences throughout this, as well as very 'Eno' ambient and experimental production. When they said they were hesitant to release this due to its potential uncommerciality, I get it - that is what makes this very good from my perspective, an established star who wants to do his own thing is always a good sign. It will certainly be getting another listen soon. A 'low' 3.

I wasn’t sure about this one in the first half. It was the instrumental tracks at the end that saved it for me.

Good album but nothing I would go out of my way to listen to.

It was OK

Bleak af

A different take by Bowie for his eleventh studio album. There are not too many stand outs, but it is a very different sound more haunting and influenced by Bowie's heavy drug use and German inspired krautrock blending electronic elements with rock and avant-garde themes. Best: Sound and Vision Worst: Art Decade

Quirky. Lots of experimental sounds on a rock foundation. Sound and Vision instrumental is niiiice. The latter half could be a Zelda soundtrack. I like the record but don’t know a playlist I would add them to. Enjoying the back half the most. This sounds like it could be the starting point for many bands and genres; this is the oldest album I’ve heard these sounds in. I’d wager this album was a major influence in the entire 80’s sound. Had a very specific aesthetic to it. I anticipate this will get better with each listen. Subterraneans is incredible.

Very trippy, bad transitions in the songs. Experimental sound, feels like a concept album.

Started very fun, but fell off at the end

Really Bowie ;-)

Not my favorite

It’s ok.

3.5/5 - cant really tell how I feel about this

Good album, a weird shift after the sound of Bowie's previous albums and I'm still trying to decide whether I prefer it. High 3.

De eerste helft gaat wat ongemerkt voorbij. Na afloop van het album zet ik het nog maar eens op. Geen slechte muziek. Maar twee keer blijkt teveel en na een paar nummers moet het echt uit. Het tweede deel is meer elektronische filmmuziek en minder Bowie-zang. Het heeft vast een basis gelegd voor veel ambient-artiesten. Hier komen we wederom op het trilemma. Raten we kwaliteit, historische waarde of smaak? Mijn smaak is het niet, maar een krappe voldoende kan ik hiervoor nog wel toedelen.

Ik heb dus het boekje "Berlijn"van Don Leo Blokhuis en daarin beschrijft hij de muziek door de jaren heen, die uit Berlijn kwam of daar door geinspireerd werd. Zo ook Bowie en dit album is het eerste van Bowie's Berlijntrilogie. Ik heb deze plaat destijds ook al geluisterd en ik snap waar het door geinspireerd is. Hij experimenteert er vrolijk op los, een rode draad in Bowies oeuvre wel. Deel 1 heeft nog wel liedjes, die niet zozeer hitgevoelig zijn, maar meer interessant om te luisteren. Deel 2 is volledig elektronisch, waarbij een naam als Kraftwerk al snel valt. Ik snap dat daar fans voor zijn en in een gekke bui wil ik het af en toe waarderen, maar 9 vd 10 keer skip ik dat soort muziek.

david bowie is certainly a pioneer when it comes to his gritty and sometimes spacey rock tracks, and i definitely think he's up there with one of the greats. however as innovative and as probably influential this album is, it's not as good as i thought it would be. the first tracks had a promising start with more of the rock flavorings, but the second half of otherworldly ambience is... i mean i suppose it's nice, but really it's nothing too worth of note i feel like. and it's a real shame.

I did not really enjoy it

Can definitely hear the Eno influences. Fine as background music, but nowhere near the level of classic Bowie and I don't see me going out of my way to listen to it.

53/100 Based on this scale: 1 star - 0 to 19 2 stars - 20 to 39 3 stars - 40 to 59 4 stars - 60 to 79 5 stars - 80 to 100 Not my favourite Bowie album by a long shot, but better than I thought it would be when I saw that it was a collaboration with Brian Eno.

David is one of my all time favourite artists but there is too many non-songs on this album for me to actually enjoy it. I love sound and vision, but that’s is.

Good talent but not my favourite from Bowie.

Amazing album from an amazing year in total. However, this is still not Bowies best album of the many that rank.

"Low" represents a shift in David Bowie's life and musicality. Away from drugs, this album presents itself as a reinvention of the man and his music. Since listening on Spotify deprives the listener of the differences between Side A and Side B, it should be noted that the later half of the album is mostly instrumental and a far departure from the previous albums. This album relies heavily on electronics.

Liked it more than I presumed considering its moody, avant-garde aesthetic. Nice blend of the synthetic, technical vibe of a Kraftwerk combined with the sonically manipulated humanity of Bowie. Need more than a casual listen. Feel like this project being a daily review flows to fast for such an album which needs digging into if it’s not a familiar genre. But enjoyed it enough that it’s worth coming back to.

Pretty decent, but I can’t really say I’ll ever listen to it again.

Ok album with one great song

Some songs I like others just not my type.

Nelabai uzhookino

Not my favourite Bowie album, it's a radical departure from his early stuff and very different still from his later albums you can tell that his life has gone through some change because of the change in the start of music. It's not a bad album just not one of his better ones

so this was quite interesting, some really nice instrumental stuff on here and it was quite cool and i can imagine a lot of it has been sampled before, but i didn’t love it, i could just mostly tolerate it. thank goodness it wasn’t 2 hrs like smashing pumpkins man.

David Bowie, muss man mögen, nicht jede Zeit die Stimmung dafür da.

Noen av disse sangene digger jeg, og mye blir litt for rart og umelodiøst

Key track: Sound and Vision ❤️

The second half of this thing caught me by surprise. It sounds almost exactly like a Popol Vuh record. Definitely not Bowies best work but he's exploring sone really interesting synthy sounds here. Pretty damn bold to go for full instrumentals on the second half

Woah this was cool, super synthy and more experimental than I was expecting. Good vibes overall and I loved the deep sax on Sound and Vision

Start of Bowie's Berlin period, the first "side" of arty krautrock synthesiser inspired jams flys by, aided by timely fade ins and outs, and contains the excellent "Sound and Vision" which sounds like it could go on for far longer than its posted 3:03. Try and listen and no have the do-do-do-do-dooos in your head for days. Side two slows down more than a little with the bleak as fuck "Warszawa" and the rest is ambient instrumental music. Truly a tale of two albums smashed together, but it works, mostly. Less than a year later he'd release "Heroes", madness.

David Bowie cool, a little too much of a need to express something specific for my taste with this album atm

I love David Bowie so mich that I chose him as a most admireble person in the world for the presentation about in the English class. I liked this album but the other albums are much better I think.

It's pretty nice, enjoyable enough. A bit too instrumental for my taste. Would need to listen to it again to form a clearer opinion.

A pretty good listen.

Initielt lidt rodet for min smag, men sidste 4 numre var god elektronik.

Rockin riffs, space synths, and his dynamic voice that is cool yet haunting yet inviting all at once. I think the first half went by quickly and I enjoyed it a lot, and then the second half had to try harder to grab me. I also felt like the first half songs were just too short. I would just get to feeling out a track and then it would be gone. Half of the first half tracks were under 3 minutes. Overall I liked the record. It's not my favorite of his and I get this feeling that this album is like him sitting down in a studio for a week and saying "screw it let's see what comes out.", and writing and recording everything there. His sound is so good that it works but there's something missing in the songs.

definitely need to listen more

He is an artist

Needed more Labyrinth songs. :) I was surprised by the lack of vocals for this album, and feel like I understand another layer of Bowie.

-omg more david bowie!!!!!! -like that the album starts with just an instrumental track -david bowie has such a cool iconic voice -im liking the funky rock moment happening here -idk not a lot of singing going on -just a lot of instrumentals and different sounds -feels like a very average david bowie album to me personally

Awful

This was quite interesting as it didn't feel like a Bowie album. Maybe too non-quirky and/or more electronic elements than I'm used to in Bowie's music. Still, I enjoyed it, refreshing! Shows that Bowie is quite the musician with many different sides to him. I instantly liked 'Sound and Vision' when it came on, but other than that not much really stuck. There were some nice melodic pieces in the latter part of the album like 'Art Decade' and 'Weeping Wall', but somehow don't feel like it deserves more than a quite strong 3 star rating, still.

Felt like a typical 80s album until i realised it was released in 1977 which is impressive. A few standout tracks "Speed of Life", "Breaking Glass" and "Sound and Vision". Other than that it wasn't really a sound I assosiated with Bowie. A nice album!

Incredibly mid. Don't get why people say this is Bowie's best album. The second side somewhat redeems the first one. That's why it's got three stars from me

Listened to this one a few times today. Not the biggest Bowie fan but I wanted to give this a fair shot. I can definitely see the appeal to the original intended audience. Must have been so different than what people were used to hearing. First few tracks were immediately catchy, the latter part of the album took a little longer to appreciate. Still not sure I'm there yet, but I'll certainly give this another listen from time to time. Albums are great.

Only Bowie could fittingly compare himself to the devastation and brokenness of post-war Europe without uttering a single word.

speed of life. cool eclectic instrumental. sweet baseline, spacy synth intermixed. breaking glass. nice baseline again, modern guitar comparison would be jack white maybe. what in the world. odd. dissonant. not sure, definitely not very enjoyable. sound and vision. always crashing in the same car. be my wife. a new career in a new town. warszawa. weird and interesting art decade. weeping wall. subterraneans. not impressed honestly.

What in the world is too busy of a song for my taste. 1st track was repetitive and all band. This album has the Bowie flair and musicality but lacks the vocal sound. The ambient sound is what makes this skippable for me it is just not my cup of tea.

First time Bowie. Not sure I understood it all. But some enjoyable tracks. Deserves more listens surely.

One if his better ones

This album felt like an ethereal intro to something a thousand times more epic.

Mostly instrumental but smooth and interesting. Works well as background music in the best way possible. Super Dune feelings.

This album is weird af.

Simpatico, ma non così interessante. Non dico noioso, ma quasi.

Deep cut david bowie. Perhaps deep cut for a reason

It was not very engaging to listen. First part of the album is ok but there is not much happening after 7 track. There is nothing wrong with it. It is just too minimalistic for me.

I’m not the biggest Bowie fan, but I liked the production on this record. Lots of cool experimental synth stuff I can get down with. Bowie and Eno is a good combo

Bowie has always been more misses than hits for me. First half is stronger and some of the bass lines are awesome though. Stand out tracks - Breaking Glass Sound and vision

Sounded ahead of the curve for it's time, outdated by the mid 80's, then like it could have been released in 2016. Too unengaging instrumental in the second half. Best Song(s): Sound and Vision Further Listening: Yes

New Job in a New Town best track. Overall a moody and interesting album

Interesting sound-scapes with good compositions. Lyrics and vocals don't contribute as much.

This was a wild ride. Great music. Different than expected. First half was much better. Great first album.

Interesting album. Quite eclectic. I enjoyed it overall.

Bowie’s experimental sound shining through in this album. Not as refined or iconic as previous albums, but still interesting enough to catch my attention with some tracks. The stand out track for me - Sound and Vision; an absolute classic. Reminds me of my childhood with my dad playing this song every now and then. Overall, this album is a nice step along Bowie’s legendary career, but ultimately falters in the face of some of his more recognised work.

david booie should have died at the alamo.

Meh. It was fine. More instrumentals than I thought.

Bowie is good. This is not my favorite of his.

Excellent in places... and just OK in others. Didn't really string together as a full album for me.

Good background music

An original album by Bowie who releases something in more of an ambient music style. Not my favourite album by Bowie, but a nice background sound while working or doing something else.

70s | Pop/Rck | Overall score: 3.27 / 65.45% 01. Speed of Life - 4/5 02. Breaking Glass - 3.5/5 03. What in the World - 3/5 04. Sound and Vision - 4/5 05. Always Crashing in the Same Car - 3/5 06.

Fave: Be my wife Overall boa guitarra mas não fiquei muito fã de Bowie, uma ou outra it's ok

It was ok!

Nothing incredible maybe I didn’t listen well enough but I will try from now on

goodo

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: it’s not of my favourites from Bowie but he still shiners bright on everything he touched Favourite song: Track 4 - Sound and Vision

By the late seventies Bowie had passed his peak, but I do think Low is a step up from Station to Station. The album holds a nice mix of songs dominated by either vocals or instrumentals, and I prefer the latter in this case. “Sound and Vision” is the only song from the album I’d heard of before this listen, and while it makes sense as the centerpiece, it’s no Bowie classic. “What in the World” feels awkward and forced, and the album would be better off without it. The supernatural theme shines through in “Weeping Wall,” which might just feature a by-now expected contribution from our extraterrestrial visitors. The saxophone in “Subterraneans” sounds like a poor man’s “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,” but it’s a fitting way to end the record. I can appreciate what Bowie is going for in the concept album here, but since I can’t see myself ever going out of my way to listen to it, I can’t give him more than three stars.

OK no big hits, not much Singing. Pretty chill

Musically very good, felt more like a soundtrack at times. Not very memorable and not really any stand out tracks.

It was ok

This album is good but not great. There are a few songs that have really funky grooves and really get down. But there are also a few tracks that are overfilled with ambient noise and seem to lack purpose. Overall it is still a good album but not one of Bowie’s best. -Klep

nothing is standing out yet 2nd half of album is weird and better than first half more synthy tracks 8-11 very good!!

not my favorite, kinda boring and i usually love bowie. the second half was enjoyable but didn't stand out and the first half i didn't like too much. could potentially give another listen or two to see if it grows though Rating - 5.4 Favs - Speed Of Life - Warszawa - Sound And Vision

Sound & Vision - yay! Liked maybe one or two others, a chunk of it was instrumental though and I like Bowie’s voice of course, so I didn't find those as compelling.

It's probably rated higher than necessary since it's Bowie. This is pretty tame.

Genres: Art rock, avant-pop, electronic, ambient, experimental rock Formed: 1963 (success 1969) Run time: 11 songs, 38 min, 51 sec The eleventh studio album by the English musician David Bowie. Bowie is regarded as one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Unusually, the first track “Speed of Life” is an instrumental. Spotify: Least popular song: 3.3M Most popular song: >70M plays. Track 2, “Breaking Glass” is supposedly an exploration of the signals of his collapse during the period he was working on the album. It is not even two minutes long and has less than a dozen lines of lyrics. I’m sure the reference to breaking glass is a metaphor for something. The song is rubbish, the lyrics are protracted and don’t really amount to much. There is no way someone could extract any meaning from it, unless it was explained to them first. Track 3, “What in the World” is about wanting to make a connection to an introverted girl who seem too afraid to leave. It is a much better song than the previous one,, but it still only amounts to an album (filler) track. Track 4, “Sound And Vision” is by far the best track on the album. It is Bowie at his best. It describes the power of music (the sound and the visuals) and the effect on the human psyche. The up-beat nature of this song is at odds with the downbeat tone of the rest of the album. Track 5, “Always Crashing in the Same Car” suggests making the same mistake over and over. Track 6, “Be My Wife” is a plea for companionship to ease the loneliness of living a transitory life. I assume it is autobiographical. Track 7, “A New Career in a New Town” is an instrumental. Track 8, “Warszawa” is to all intent and purpose an instrumental with some nonsense words and sounds added for effect. The general feel is contemplative and sombre. Warszawa is the former name of Warsaw, a city in Poland that has experienced upheaval and trauma throughout history. Given the name of the song, it has been suggested that this song reflects that history. The link makes sense, but history has ups and downs and this instrumental remains sombre throughout. Track 9, “Art Decade” is another instrumental. Track 10, “Weeping Wall” is another instrumental that starts off tranquil but the last 30 seconds sound a bit despondent. I suppose that is how weeping leaves you feeling. Without lyrics that is clever. Track 11, “Subterraneans” is for the most part a melodic instrumental. It has seven lines of lyrics, sung very softly. The line “Share bright failing star” would suggest some sort of descent from the very top to the depths. The feeling is of growing melancholia and despair. However good the instrumentals are on this album, I can’t help but feel Bowie has “phoned it in”. He’s a singer/songwriter - I expect more lyrics that this album delivers. I think if he’d wanted to release a whole album of instrumentals that would have been fine. One or the other. “Sound And Vision” should have been released as a single and not have been part of this album. It does not fit with the “Low” mood of the other tracks. Listen Again?: No My Rating: ***

Favourite song: Always Crashing in the Same Car

Excellent start to the album. Speed of life, Breaking glass, Sound and Vision, Always crashing in the same car. The second half is a very different vibe and was not as enjoyable of a listen. Perhaps depends on the environment you're listening to it in. Will revisit once travel to Mars is commercialised.

3/5

Bowie gonna Bowie. I don’t love this album apart from “Sound and Vision” and “Speed of Life”. The rest is very introspective and Instrumental. But I keep listening because even rambling, experimental Bowie is still interesting. I think the final track, “Subterraneans”, is a beautiful mood piece.

not my favourite bowie album so I give it a 3 but Bren the music connoisseur gives it a 5 so.. who knows. Definitely more art rock/avant compared to the other bowie albums I've listened to. Worth another listen

Very artistic, though not a sound that I prefer.

This wasn't bad but I expected more from a Davie Bowie album. I prefer his proggy side and this was a little too chill for me

The first half was solid, Speed of Life, Sound and Vision, Be My Wife are all excellent. I like the psychedelia tones of this but the second half just sounds a bit too much like an 80’s sci-fi movie soundtrack. 3 stars

David Bowie continues to make a very advanced case for being one of the most overrated artists ever holy moly. He's on this list idk how many times, yet I haven't heard anything that would suggest him being here. What does he exactly do on this album? Repetitive instrumentals into mumbling some random words into repetitive instrumentals (those instrumentals are sometimes great btw, don't get me wrong) But what am I missing? Why is he such a household name? Still no fucking idea and I already heard like 4 Bowie-albums. The fact that if you listen to this with ignoring who the artist is, it's a mediocre album.

Erfreulich wenig Gesang. Ganz nett, das rumprobiere mit den Synthies. Gerade so drei Sterne. Zu viele Platten von Bowie im übrigen.

Sound and vision is vibey 🎧 Songs don't always feel that different from each other but generally speaking they're still nice to listen to.

1. speed of life - i cant tell if the first song in the album is supposed to have lyrics or not but it sounds pretty sick ngl 2. breaking glass - this shi pretty chilll!! ive never really listened to david bowie but this is a good intro to his stuff :) song has such silly lyrics too! 3. what in the world - some of the lyrics r relatable like ' so deep in your room, you never leave your room' but this song is tooo happy sounding for something so sad sounding yknow 4. sound and vision - hm it's alright i suppose 5. always crashing in the same car - a little spunky if i do say so myself; lowkey vibe w this 6. be my wife - the lyrics r romantic but i dont think this is for me 7. a new career in a new town - hes also funkyish 8. warszawa - stranger things vibes LOL 9. art decade - may be the best song on the entire album. super atmospheric it's so lovely aghhhh 10. weeping wall - i forgot what i thought of this but the title of the song is awesome 11. subterraneans - this shit is amaing. ethereal.

Meh it's Ok, kinda weird with the Brian Eno influence. Apparently it's music to stop taking drugs too

Good, mostly instrumental 3.5

Another bowie album. I guess we may as well get them all eh...

2nd listen. I like the sound of this album but was never drawn to any song In particular.

There is no bad Bowie, but there is better Bowie than other Bowie. This one is okay. Surprising number of instrumentals.

Third Bowie record since the list began! Not that I'm complaining. Low was my first REAL intro to Bowie after hearing it in a record store one day in my early 20s. I think it was Sound and Vision? Anyway, after that I decided I'd wasted enough time not listening to his music. But while it worked as a gateway record for me, I wouldn't necessarily mark this as a great into to the wide world of Ziggy. He relies a lot more on the instrumentation throughout this album, which was definitely transitioning into the more 80s sounding, experimental material. The second half of this one gets weird and spacey (par for the course on the Berlin Trilogy albums). A lot of synths are introduced that really change the tone in an almost jarring way. But hey, I do that with my own music, so again, not complaining. I think overall, Low is compelling but maybe would've worked better as a longer EP, or just had some of the fat trimmed off.

Cool sound, an unconventional album, very interesting listen, cool mix of different genres strengthened by Bowies voice. 7/10

Not as great as some of his other albums that I have assumed are in the 1001 but still a worthwhile listen

If it weren’t for Breaking Glass and Sound and Vision, this could very well have just been the backing track to a movie. You can hear the Brian Eno ambient influence. At the top of Tottenham Court Road, they have built a white square with images projected on the wall and ambient music playing in the background. It’s a bit like a futuristic waiting room. People sit in there watching the images and meet their friends. The music played there sounds like it could have come straight off this album. A perfectly pretentious soundscape for looking at scenery. It’s really a 2.5 but…

Sound and Vision was great. Most of the rest of the sonic landscape was pretty good. The last two songs were not appealing. I really enjoyed Warszawa.

Hard to know how to rate this one. I love the first half. Five stars. Actively dislike the second, experimental instrumental side. "Heroes" has the same problem. Put the first two halves together on a playlist and you have the all-time best Bowie album. So, how to rate this one as-is? Three seems harsh, especially since I listen to side one all the time, but that's what it gets as an album score.

Since I am still new to Bowie, I never knew he did albums like this. The first half is okay, but I liked the atmospheric sound of the second half better. I will need more time with this one. 3.5

The only CD burner I ever had is my fireplace. My brother had a CD burner and burned this CD for me circa the Napster days and presented it to me complete with a replica of the jewel case cover. From afar the CD looks legit but if you look closely or open the jewel case the subterfuge falls apart. This album is a decent listen and it's certainly adventurous. I do think there is a better use than ambient for a side of Bowie vinyl but it was trying something new which I appreciate. I don’t think this was as good as the next album w Emo and I still prefer the cocaine trilogy to the Berlin trilogy.

Mostly instrumental. Good background music.

I first got to know and intrigued with David Bowie in the early 80s. "Let's Dance" and "Tonight" hooked me. It is not lost on me that this was far into his parade of paradigms and personas. In retrospect I can also appreciate that I got to know him slipping into a bit of indulgence and self-parody, especially with "Never Let Me Down." Later I became seriously committed with "Outside" and "Heathen" and of course I get it he's gone through countless reinvention ups and downs. Anyway, it wasn't until later that I started to wander backwards through his catalog and got to know and appreciate "Low." I acknowledged it was phenomenal but didn't connect so well. In essence it seems disjointed as if it were two separate EPs, one funky romp from Bowie and one cosmic ambient trip from Eno. The contrast is jarring and a bit of a bait and switch with the first half being so infectious and then being hijacked by Eno, overreaching beyond collaborative production. So I would give the first half a 4 and the rest somewhere under a 3.

Good music back in the day when lyrics drove the song.

Really good listen. Gonna give this album a 3 and add “Speed of Life” to the play list.

It’s fine. Not Bowie’s best and shouldn’t be on this list!

A more ethereal and synth-heavy Bowie. I'd need to be in the mood for Vangelis-style dreamscapes before listening to this one again.

I tried to listen on YouTube and got tricked where someone put the first song as David Bowie then their own weirdo music after and after 3 or 4 songs I was thinking this is fucking weird for Bowie and realised it wasn’t him. Ohhhh lordy. Once I finally got to the right album I liked it ! Not his best album , warszawa is a weird sone

Upbeat instrumentals, not the biggest fan of the vocals

def not my favorite Bowie album

Album 7 of 1001 David Bowie - Low I imagine that Bowie fans were a bit disappointed when this originally came out back in January of 1977. Dave was seemingly going through some changes (pardon the pun) at the time and it shows in this album. That isn't because of the quality but because it is different from what one would have expected. Vocals are rare. The last few tracks would be lovely during a massage. It is a very good listen but don't put it on expecting the poppish version of Bowie. This is something a bit different. A bit experimental. Favorite Track : Sound and Vision 3 / 5

I don’t know the first half has a few quite boring bowie songs and then the second half is the kinda thing you fall asleep to. I’ve never really understood low to be honest it’s just so meh and just experimental for the sake of it (which I think heroes does better) 3/5.

David Bowie brings an interesting sound here that becomes klmore ambient in the second half.

Meh

Not my fave from Dave

I like Bowie a lot but this album didn’t really do anything special for me personally
