Hunky Dory

1st listen: It's lowkey a good album. Songs are the same vibe and I like them, even tho I wouldn't listen to them on a daily. The song I really liked was "Andy Warhol". The intro was really fun and the song too. I think I liked "The Bewlay Brothers" the least. 2nd listen: I really liked "Changes", it lowkey reminds me of Big Mouth lol. "Kooks" and "Quicksand" also stuck out to me. All the songs are good, even tho I wasn't that concentrated on listening. Overall, a very good album. It has a slow but also special vibe to it. Some songs are kinda boring (or I just didn't listen to them well), but others are really good. Probably will listen again.

First listen was a little bland. Seemed better on the second go. I've never quite clicked with Mr. Bowie. Respect, just never loved his stuff. I listened to it again a 3rd time and it started to click. Definitely will give it another listen. Maybe it was just too early in the day the first time, Bowie is kind of a night artist. 3.5 stars.

not my fave by him

Great songwriting and lyrics, love the more experimental stuff, excited to see what he does next.

I like Changing and Kooks quite a bit! Probably a 6/10 album for me. Also is Mr. Brightside inspired by Queen Bitch by David Bowie??? The song at 2:25 sounds sooo similar🤔

Me gustó, I mean it’s David Bowie not my cup of tea tho.

Heard Changes before and it still holds strong on this record. Life on Mars is what I'm currently on as I type this out and it's the best song I've heard so far. Really well thought out musically and lyrically.

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

fine, two good songs

very upbeat; Beatles reminiscent in sound.

I’ve never totally clicked with Bowie. I’m hoping I can find my in during this project. It’s obviously good and trendsetting, but I must be missing something.

I recognized Life on Mars?

Has some really great tracks, some are so-so.

Some classic Bowie singles mixed with some slightly weird tracks.At least one track with Rod Stewart style and other styles of the time mixed in although I couldn't identify the other artists. Musically a pretty good album with more of the classic Bowie vocals that I recognise than earlier albums.

I felt like it wandered a little into the art pop side of his catalog, songs were good and lyrics too. There are heavier songs like Queen Bitch, but also instrumental passages that makes you feel like you're floating in space. It's a mixed album, but fun nonetheless.

Ok

Just how I remembered <3 Oh! you pretty things brings me back

very cool, first david bowie album and i like him, i slightly see the hype. i like his sound especially the beawley brothers or however u spell it.

Oh, fuck off…more David Bowie? I’m really starting to lose what affection I had for him solely because it seems like I can’t go 4 days without another David Bowie or Neil Young record. They ought to call this 1001 Bowie and Young Records You Have To Listen To Before You Die, because it feels like there are 1001 of them. At least this is one of his more approachable records. But still, I’m learning that Bowie can sometimes write a solid chorus, but it’s usually a slog to get there through the verses. I dunno. This project is teaching me that I’m not really much of a David Bowie fan. 3/5

Bowie is so boring. It's just so... Uninteresting. It's crazy to me that people call this some of the best music ever.

Tää oli ihan ok, tiesin ainoastaan hittibiisin Changes ja Life On Mars? Muuten aika tasapaksua tavaraa.

Album was ok but was probably a little groundbreaking for its original sound in 1971. Frankly, DB has at least 2 or 3 better albums than this one.

Okay, this is obviously a cut above most albums here. I mean, it's David Bowie! It does sound great, and it's also one of the rare occasions where its influence on later artists is actually clearly seen -- it really hit me when I recognized the riff on Andy Warhol from Metallica's Master of Puppets, of all songs. With all of that said... None of this strikes me as music that I'd feel like returning to. I respect it a lot but it doesn't grab me like even other Bowie albums have. Sorry! Standouts: Life on Mars? • Kooks • Quicksand • Fill Your Heart

I listened to it while doing work and even tho its a bit of a wierd sound for me, i enjoyed it!! Appart from the other reviews that mention "changes" and "Oh! You Pretty Things" i actually enjoyed the most "The Bewlay Brothers"! Idk why, the others absolutely slap too ofc but yeah! Relisten some of these days where ur feeling like you have a good day but you cant quite reach happiness

Life on Mars is a great track but also Jian Ghomeshi loves that song so good reminder that youre never as good as person as you think you are.

Sure, David Bowie. Another musician that I should probably like more than I do. Weirdly this guy has always struck me as a performance artist—or entity—who happens to make music, which makes the actual songs kind of irrelevant. That's a stupid understanding of him and his career, I'm aware.

Ch-ch-ch-changes….great start to the album. 3.5 stars

Fav was kooks

I mean, I know it's a classic but David Bowie is not my favorite.

2.5 out of 5 stars I'm not a big Bowie fan, Changes is the obvious standout on this album. I did enjoy Andy Warhol a bit. I'm glad I listened, but I won't listen again.

Eh, not what I was expecting from my limited exposure to Bowie. I’ll have to give it another listen or two.

I did enjoy this a fair bit - some really strong highlights and it is genuinely expansive and tries a bunch of styles. I found that this made it a bit less cohesive and I didn't enjoy it as much but I understand that others could argue that this is the greatest strength of the record. I can imagine listening to this in 1971 (?) and being very excited for what Bowie will do next

Fav song: Life on Mars? I love David Bowie. This one's got some BANGERS but it's also just a biiiiit too polite sounding. Crazy that just one year later we got the spiders from mars!!!

Start was good and then it went meh

OK, starts good but slopes off

This album is the perfect example of David Bowie, some of it is great, some not so much.

Not my favourite Bowie album, I must admit. It was mostly a bit too weird and "out there". "Life on Mars" and "Changes" are the only two tracks that I really quite enjoyed... Oh! and the song for Bob Dylan is pretty good too.

It's kind of amazing how much of Bowie's sound emerges on this album. Furthermore, how much of his future work is hinted at here. Hunky Dory may be the first truly good Bowie album. Then again, there are songs like "Kooks" and "Fill Your Heart" that feel like a hangover from past album cycles. A great effort, I'm just not that into the 70's sounds the songwriting tends to fall into. Listened to while stoned and chilling in bed between the hours of 9:30-10:30 on a Sunday in May

I'm in general not a Bowie fan. This album didn't do it for me

Forgot that Metallica used the riff of 'Warhol' in 'Master of Puppets' bc Cliff loved Bowie. And I don't know if I'd ever heard the actual version of 'Life on Mars' just the Portuguese cover from The Life Aquatic. Bowie was definitely reading his Nietzsche when he made this. 'Song for Dylan' nails Dylan to a T.

a classic

Better than the first Bowie one I listened to. Still not crazy about it but there are some good vibes. Very different in a good way.

Is there a Bowie album *not* on this list? This one was pretty decent, anyway. Just didn't enjoy the B-side all that much.

Vibes: 3/5 Instruments: 4/5 Production: 3/5 Emotional Value: 4/5 Storytelling: 3/5 Stand Outs: Oh! You Pretty Things, Life on Mars? Overall Rating: 3.4

I was never a fan of Bowie to begin with, but this is the most forgettable album I’ve heard from him so far. I don’t know what to say. It’s just a nothing burger. It’s not bad by any means, but it didn’t stuck with me at all and left no impression. It’s fine, I guess, but not something I’d want to return to in the future.

I’m definitely more of a Bowie greatest hits kinda guy

I'm more into his weird Berlin era but this one's solid as well

Close to a 4, couple of big hitters on this one ★★★½☆

not my favourite Bowie album but it's got my favourite singles. non-single tracks are a bit boring

While the singles here are masterpieces, I don't think they quite make up for some of the filler tracks here which really break up the flow of the entire thing.

Bowie zum dritten, "life on mars"/"Queen Bitch" wieder das cover so gut, Dorian grey reminiscence? die Musik? c

Nice sort of old-school country rock

Need to relisten once. Wasn't blown away.

I LOVE David Bowie. That doesn't mean I'm not honest with myself when it comes to his albums. Just like most of his catalogue there are 1 or 2 GREAT songs on here and a couple of fantastic sections in other songs that are otherwise good to poor. Very uneven throughout. The great vastly outweighs the bad though because when Bowie is on he's genius.

I have to be in the right mood for Bowie. Some days I love him, others he just sounds irritating. That being said, this is one of my favorite albums of his.

Upbeat, does what it says on the tin.

I can see how this is considered the first great album of Bowie's career, with songs like Changes and Life on Mara front-loading the track list. Everything else her works too, even if to a significantly less degree. It's a pleasant listen but certainly nothing that would come to characterize Bowie's groundbreaking career. But this is just the beginning.

I like Bowie. I appreciate Bowie's genius. I wish I loved Bowie. I don't love Bowie.

7/10 - Classic David Bowie

When this came out I was a sophomore in college, and Bowie was not on my radar much. I did like the song Changes, probably from radio airplay, but I was fairly ignorant (and high) in those days. With today's ears, I think this is a very cohesive and well executed album. Time to dig out the Ziggy stuff, I guess....

Life on mars was great

My preferable Bowie. I had gotten very bored by many of them but I liked this one

there are some classics on this one. i thought Life on Mars was before this. it does have that sound that he would eventually be known for. i can't argue that earlier Bowie is better, but i like it more. Space Oddity, Unwashed..., Memory of a Free Festival, these are where my heart are. but this is where he started to be more out there to see where the limit was, hence the song Changes. there are for sure some good tracks here. the references to Dylan and Warhol are cringe, but it was the time. i am not very familiar with this record, but it does have a great variation of songs. Kooks is fun. 3/5.

I would call myself a Bowie fan but many on this album I hadn’t heard. Changes was the only one I had heard. I don’t think I’m gonna make myself many fans with this review. There are some really good songs on this album but many of them feel very much “not Bowie.” Now let me explain. Some of the simpler songs remind me of Elton John or the Beatles songs like Quicksand which I think might be my least favorite song on the album sounds so much like an Elton John song. Whereas songs like Andy Warhol, which despite the subject of the song being a shitbag is my favorite song on the album. It is so because it starts so strange and continues to be so unabashedly. As someone who knows David Bowie mostly from after this album, to me David Bowie has always sat in an area where his music both instrumentally and lyrically is dense. There is a lot to dissect and enjoy. In my head his voice shines the most with a full sound behind him. He celebrates oddities and weirdos (or at least he always has in my head) and I love him for that. This album by contrast feels like a man that is sitting on a dock before a voyage into the unknown. We gets some glimpses to the future adventures (Andy Warhol, Life on Mars, Changes) but a lot of the songs are quieter or at least simpler reflections on his past and the people that shaped him. (Quicksand, Song for Bob Dylan). At the time I can’t imagine what might have been going through his head but now here in 2025 I want to shout and tell the man that “Keep going! Unmoor yourself from the present and the past.” I would be surprised if this is the last we see of David Bowie on this listen through and I do appreciate the importance of this album for him to become what he became. I just felt myself longing for later Bowie. That’s not this album’s fault but it’s a feeling I can’t shake.

not my favorite bowie overall but life on mars is a classic ofc

Has some of my favorite tracks, and honestly some forgettable ones

Já tinha escutado um trabalho solo dele (Ziggy Stardust), mas não de outra era dele Gostei da experiência, apesar de já conhecer Life On Mars? e talvez já ter escutado Changes, mas a sua participação em Under Pressure ainda é superior

Never really got Bowie in his prime was t until last 20 years that I really listened to him.

Not my favorite Bowie, but it’s still good.

While it has a lot of eccentricities, most of the album didn't make much of a memorable impression on me. Life on Mars is a certified banger, and the back half of the album is better than the first, but most of it passed over me as a pastiche of British, psychedelic rock. It's well made and there are some nice surprises here and there, but certainly not my favorite of Bowie's. The cover however, is a strong 4/5, just iconic Bowie stuff and very stylish.

79% Best: Changes; Life on Mars?; Queen Bitch Must-Hear? Almost. If I were to eliminate a Bowie album for the 1001 (which needs to happen), it would be this. This is only my third Bowie record, but that's the way it stands as of now.

David Bowie is one of those artists that people say you're "supposed" to like. And, I do like some of his songs, but Hunky Dory is take it or leave it for me. It feels like a weird in-between from his early stuff before he started getting into his more main sequence glam rock. And if I'm being really honest, this album is pretty sleepy other than Changes.

Life on Mars is one of the greatest songs of all time. Oh you pretty things similar. The rest is good too but doesn’t connect as much with me

Wouldn't put this on my top five Bowie albums, and I honestly think Changes is a terrible song

It’s not my thing Liked Andy Warhol song And last song 5/10

I just really don't get the Bowie hype. I think this album was fine. It seemed very normal to me for something from 1971; some hits, some duds, and a slightly-grating, high British tenor voice. Maybe the magic is in his later work, but I don't really see it here. Fave songs: - Changes - Life on Mars? - Quicksand - Fill Your Heart - Andy Warhol

Some good, some bad. Not my favorite Bowie tracks, but a listenable album overall.

Cover 5 Really haven't done a deep dive of Bowie. Growing up, my initial impression of any artist was mostly from the radio. Dancing in the Streets (1985 - I was ten) with Mick Jagger was a horrible introduction to Bowie's music. So I never looked further. I don't think this album helped. I do intend to look further, because it's David Bowie and people are like "he's a genius" or whatever. But this was only ok. Nothing particularly awful, but nothing stood out to me either.

Legalzinho

I really try but Bowie clicks differently to me, and this one didn't make it so far up my list

It was fine, I like others better

I think this my favourite Bowie album so far. I'm not a fan though but hearing Changes and Life on Mars was good.

By most standards, this is a masterpiece. By Bowie standards, it's mid.

In theory I should love David Bowie's music. I am a fan of artists reinventing themselves and trying new things. I'm a fan of critic's darlings. I love "weirdness." I have always "tried" to love his music. Unfortunately, I've never really been able to get into it. I can't put my finger on it, other than there is a coldness and detachment I feel when I listen to his songs. There are a few here and there that I really like, but I've never been able to listen to an album of his and truly enjoy it. I am aware that there are quite of a few of his records on this list, and my hope was that I'd have a different experience listening more critically. There are others on the list that I have completely come around on, so I thought it would be the case with Bowie. This is my first album of his that I've been given, so this morning I was both excited and apprehensive. What I came away with after listening is that my original thoughts haven't changed at all. There is talent for sure. There are songs I enjoy more than others, but in the end, I guess I just don't really like his music overall and that's the way it's going to be. I think I have six more to go...

Cool album. Got me familiar with the term art pop. Kind of more ballsy and brave decisions arrangement and composition wise. Interesting chord progressions and production. Not sure if I want to relisten anything from it, song Changes stocked a bit. It could become really dear music to me if I d relisten a lot. Reminded late arctic monkeys, I guess that’s where the inspiration is from. Piano driven tracks but without constant loops spamming the chords progression.

Quite Fringe. Hard for me to personally get through.

This album is pretty lame. I’m giving it three stars on the the strength of Changes, Pretty Things and Life On Mars. Otherwise it’s folky and it doesn’t rock

A fine album. Changes holds up. There are some interesting songs in there, but overall it's kinda dull

This was a fun listen, particularly with "Life on Mars".

Two great songs on here. Not really loving everything else.

7/10

Bowie always interesting. Some of these songs a bit too out there for me.

Ch Ch Changes! Bowie is heavy with the piano. It has that classic Bowie energy, fast paced and energetic. The rest of the band also shines next to the main paino tune. Solid album!

It’s not my cup of tea. I kind of hear influences of what must be the Beatles. It’s very much like Billy Joel in the sense that it reminds me of something that could be in a musical. Haven’t really ever listened to David Bowie and don’t really love his voice. I guess at least I’ve done it. There were a couple songs at the end there that I liked.

So-so early Bowie with a couple of good tracks

Siempre me gustó como cantaba David Bowie

I feel I should have liked this more than I did.

Solid pop album, works today even though it was made 50 years ago. I'm not really into pop or David Bowie, but it's good music. My Rating: 3/5

Very lopsided album in terms of the fluff and bangers. I like Bowie but this feels like another instance where the authors choice to put nearly 10 of his albums on here is more of a hindrance than a highlight.

A bowie album eith some masterpiece singles on it. Arguably his best song, but not much else. 7/10

It's good, don't get me wrong. It's a unique sound and totally different to The Man Who Sold the World and Ziggy Stardust which came out either side of this. But I'm not rating albums on novelty here. Frankly, apart from the two big hits on this album (which don't need to be named) there isn't a lot to grab you here. Multiple listens left me with an appreciation for some of the deep cuts here but between Life on Mars? and Queen Bitch there isn't a great deal here that makes me want to listen to the whole album rather than just the things I like. Highlights: Changes, Life on Mars?, The Bewlay Brothers

some high points - Changes and Kooks - but the mannered vocals become very wearing over the duration of the album

I've never sat down and listened to David Bowie before and I didn't fully know what to expect to be honest. I didn't know how piano based a lot of his song this album would be. A very heavy album in terms of emotion that Bowie was able convey. Not really sure if this is my preferred genre, but was pretty good overall! Favorites: - Life on Mars? - Queen Bitch

Given how strange David Bowie seems, I always envisioned his music being less accessible than it actually is. This was a solid album with a few classics that I recognized on it. I have a feeling there are going to be a bunch of Bowie albums on this list, but I’m okay with that if his others are like this one. Favorite tracks: - Changes - Oh! you Pretty Things - Life on Mars?

Better than the other Bowie album but still not quite 4 star worthy.

Great Bowie album. Changes is good. DB - Gone too soon.

Музыка: 7/10 Разнообразие: 8/10 Тематика и вайб: 7/10 Цепляемость (отдельные песни зашли): 5/10 Реиграбельность (можно ли рандомно врубить на фон): 8/10 Итог: 7.0

It was fine.

idk clasic david bowie. sincer eu nu is un fan masiv al glam rockului. dar unele melodii chiar mi-au placut gen ultima e bun dar not my style

This album has Life on Mars? on it. 'Nuff said. Was familiar with quite a few tracks - Kooks, Changes. I'm not the biggest Bowie person. My favorite of his is the last album he released Blackstar. Love the piano on this. Not as impactful as Ziggy Stardust.

hatte gestern die ganze Zeit einen Ohrwurm von Changes. Ch-ch-ch-chaaaanges. Ansonsten ganz okay als Rockalbum. Ein paar songs haben mir mal wieder Gilmore girls vibes gegeben, das ist immer ein Plus Punkt. Lieblingssongs: Changes, The Bewlay Brothers schlimmste Lieder: Andy Warhol Würde am liebsten 3,5 Sterne geben. Aber ich glaube da ist noch Potential nach oben.

Nice but more of a sign of better things to come.

J’aime Bowie. J’aime l’écouter philosopher en entrevue. Mais, ce n’est pas toute sa musique qui me fait tripper. On va voir ce que cet album me laisse comme impression. Je connaissais déjà deux chansons, deux que j’aime beaucoup. Le reste de l’album est bon, même qu’avec les écoutes supplémentaires, certaines tounes pourraient entrer dans mon best of. À suivre. Faque. Résultat final ? C’est bon, mais sans plus. Ce n’est pas ma période préférée de Bowie, mais cet album contient un peu plus de bonnes tounes que je ne le pensais. À revisiter, mais seulement par morceaux.

At a point in my life now where I can comfortably admit that I am not particularly a Bowie fan. I always thought I was, he has some good songs, but the more of them I hear the more I realise I don't actually care for much of his output. Rarely are they offensively bad, theres a quality to his songwriting that is excellent, but I don't find it gripping at all and so I wonder if maybe its just not to my taste. I will say I actually enjoyed the second half of this LP more than the first, Changes and Life On Mars being two of his singles I do not care for. Everything from Quicksand on I enjoyed a bit more.

I'd never sat and listened to this one before. I can't say it's my favorite Bowie album, but I like it better than some, and I can see where some of my favorite ones came from, now.

Awesome old school rock, fantastic writing.

BEST SONGS: - Oh! You Pretty Things - Life on Mars?

I know many of these songs, but have never listened to the album. There are several all-time classics. Best Songs Changes Life on Mars? Kooks Queen Bitch

Enjoyed the couple of classic hits amidst the sea of fillers

Classic like life on mars sits in a flower bed of meh, kinda Bowie for me.

I still think that David Bowie is a bit overrated. Like he deserves the recognition he has, but I don't know, I don't get it. This is a good album but nothing special.

changes life on mars quicksand

Primer disco de bowie que escucho entero, tiene sus mas y sus menos pero overall me ha gustado

a lot more subdued than expected, but still catchy.

I understand that Bowie pushed boundaries here but it’s too artsy to be enjoyable. Even life on mars which I believe is the hit of this album was too experimental for me to enjoy it. I looked forward to listen to listening to Bowie. I hope there’ll be better albums of his on this list.

Never was the biggest fan of 'Changes' which opens this album. Not sure why, it just isn't my favourite of Bowie's popular tracks. I find the chorus more annoying than catchy. 'Life On Mars?' however, I think is brilliant and easily one of his best. It builds up really nicely, to a fantastic chorus before starting all over again but this time the drums stay. 'Oh! You Pretty Things' is a great track which has a better chorus than 'Changes' in my opinion. 'Kooks' is a pleasant if a little bland song. I really liked 'The Bewlay Brothers' a lot though. A really nice ballad "epic" to end the record. A pretty decent, if a little all over the place album. Some hits, some misses, a bit inconsistent.

I enjoyed this David Bowie album

Changes is great, the rest of the album I thought was aight. Even listening to it yesterday, nothing else really stuck out to me and I’m not quite sure what I listened to

I went in with very low expectations based on some previous Bowie albums, but this one was actually pleasant. Still a little weird at some points though, and nothing blew me away as amazing.

First half started off really strong where I thought this could be 4/5 but then back half kinda struggled. Life on mars is maybe my favorite Bowie song.

I feel like I need to give this one a second listen to fully appreciate it. There wasn’t any part that I found boring or that lost my interest, but aside from Changes, there weren’t many stand-out songs. It was really easy to let this one play and enjoy as background music, but nothing blew me away.

A high 3.

With David Bowie, I fall somewhere on the spectrum between "just the hits" and "will dive into the classic albums." I've done the latter, but generally stick to the former. This is one of many in his string of classics, and it's one where I'm happy just to come back for "Changes," "Oh! You Pretty Things," "Life on Mars?," and "Queen Bitch."

Some classics but that's all very much confined to the first half, after which point this loses steam a bit. 3.5*

Das Album „Hunky Dory“ wurde 1971 in den Trident Studios in London aufgenommen. David Bowie, ein britischer Musiker, bewegte sich mit dieser Veröffentlichung stilistisch zwischen Art Rock, Glam Rock und Singer-Songwriter-Traditionen. Die Produktion zeichnet sich durch eine klare Instrumentierung aus, bei der das Klavier eine tragende Rolle spielt. Rick Wakeman, der später durch seine Arbeit mit Yes bekannt wurde, ist hier als Pianist zu hören. Zu den markantesten Titeln des Albums zählen „Changes“, das später zu einem der wiedererkennbarsten Songs Bowies wurde, sowie „Life on Mars?“, das mit seiner dramatischen Melodieführung und filmischen Anmutung auffällt. Auch „Oh! You Pretty Things“ und „Quicksand“ zeigen Bowies Interesse an philosophischen, gesellschaftlichen und literarischen Themen, ohne dabei den melodischen Zugang zu verlieren. „Hunky Dory“ wirkt rückblickend wie ein Übergangswerk, in dem Bowie musikalisch und thematisch verschiedene Pfade austestet. Die Arrangements sind sorgfältig, die Produktion zurückhaltend, wodurch die Stimme und die Texte stärker im Vordergrund stehen. Das Album lässt sich als frühes Beispiel für Bowies Fähigkeit einordnen, musikalische Identitäten bewusst zu wechseln. Die Veröffentlichung markiert einen wichtigen Entwicklungsschritt in Bowies Werk. Ohne sich an gängigen Formeln zu orientieren, verbindet das Album introspektive Inhalte mit musikalischer Klarheit. Es bleibt ein hörenswertes Dokument einer künstlerischen Neuorientierung.

I always hear about how great David Bowie is, and how he's constantly reinventing himself. The latter is pretty apparent, but I don't think he's necessarily all *that* good at it. For a while, I thought this was the album of his that I liked best, but eventually it turned out that I just liked "Changes" (and also, to a lesser extent, "Kooks"). Somehow, "Life on Mars" is always in contention among Bowie fans to be one of his best songs, but it never felt like anything spectacular to me. Maybe the problem is I just don't like glam rock enough, but this album really never gets above fine.

Nothing stood out for me but it was a pleasant listen.

"Life on mars?" is great, uf course! The rest is mostly filler songs. 3/5

Pretty cool, makes me think of parklife idk why

same as station to station but maybe i like it a bit more? more songs in the album = more songs i knew. maybe i would give this a 3.5 if i could?

3 stars

Pretty good. I feel like thats a lot of david bowie recently

it was ok...

Bowie Album #2 out of 9 Totally fine, I really liked a few songs and the rest were fairly forgettable. Oh! You Pretty Things and Song for Bob Dylan were really good.

A few classic songs, but it's too inconsistent, cute and kooky to fully work as an album

Not my favorite Bowie album, but it's a good one.

It’s no Ziggy Stardust

Some great songs (Bewley Brothers, Queen Bitch, Andy Warhol), some not so great (Eight line Poem) and a song so over played (Life on Mars) I usually skip at when I get the chance.

I'm ashamed to say that I knew a lot of these songs, but didn't realize they were his. But all around, a good time.

Another Bowie album screaming for a remaster, very tinny and hollow overlaying of the different instruments and vocals. Very fun hits, but a lot of skippable tracks. Fun to see Bowie branching into what would become his more iconic style. Top tracks: Changes, Life on Mars?, Queen Bitch

Ordinary Bowie

1. Life on Mars? 2. The Bewlay Brothers 3. Oh! You Pretty Things

Got some interesting things happening on here. I can definitely see why people see Tyler in David Bowie

Sadly, I'm not crazy about this album. Maybe since it's not one that I listened to since it's release date? Can't say if that's the reason or maybe these songs are too lovey and poetic for me. Still love you tho man!!

It's ok. Fave oh! You pretty things

Far fewer hits then I remember but Changes, Life on Mars, and Queen Bitch still rock my world.

I’ve never been the biggest Bowie fan, but this is a very good album, probably his best in my opinion.

This is probably the best David Bowie album I've listened to thus far, and this is the 6th one that has populated on this list. I'm not sure why there needed to be 6, but what do I know, I'm just a common man, not a journalist or editor of a music magazine. I wasn't born with the DNA to better understand this artist. This was enjoyable, but it still isn't enough to push this album past a 3.5/5, and it definitely can't push it past its own boundaries into a 4. Album high marks: "Changes" "Life on Mars?" "Andy Warhol" "Queen Bitch"

Some good verses, choruses, chords and theatrical piano parts, mabey the Art in Art Pop kills it, mabey Bowie's voice is just too whiny sometimes, mabey ch, ch, ch change the annoying parts. Unfortunately this is my review after relistening twice.

The way this album inspired future artists was palpable which was fascinating, but by the end it started to feel a bit same-y. Highs were strong (Changes, Oh! You Pretty Things, Life on Mars?, Quicksand), but the kooky silly voices in some of the low-lights (Song for Bob Dylan, Fill Your Heart, Andy Warhol) reached a point of "ok I've had enough" pretty quick. A pattern of gentle opening for 45 seconds into full orchestral chorus(?), calm for 45 seconds into full orchestral chorus a second time is sonically pleasant but got a bit boring.

Je m'attendais à pire.

I mean, it was cute but other than a couple hits I don't think Bowie found his stride yet

not my favourite Bowie album but has some songs i like

First time listening to a Tupac album. Very much enjoyed.

I ok with Best of collections with Bowie. Daimond Dogs and perhaps another may be exceptions. Good stuff, not all of it resonates with me.

Notbad

Not one of my go to Bowie’s but certainly had some bangers. Andy Warhol always makes me chuckle.

It feels sacrilegious but this has never been high on my list of David Bowie albums. There's something I can't pinpoint that I'm not crazy about, it could be the pomp and too much theatre for my taste. Other than that, I have similar issues with his voice that I did with Ziggy Stardust, it being more shrill and nasally than how he sounded from the mid 70s onwards. I would normally avoid making such a direct comparison, but I know that I love his voice from around Young Americans onwards and before that I'm not as fond of it. I'm bashing it but this is a good album. I can definitely appreciate that he was trying different things though, as he always did, it just doesnt really resonate with me the same way a lot of his later stuff does 3.5 Highlights: Andy Warhol

I think I like Bowie in theory much more than I actually like the music. Couple of tunes I love, but overall this is just OK for me.

At this point I’m over Bowie man like the first album was good, the second one okay, this one I’m like ugggg. This was one of his earlier albums and less rock and more strange. I understand the reputation now more tbh. I’m probably not giving it a fair rating I’m just done with his ass LOL

Two phenomenal classics, rest is just fine. Struggle with whole Bowie albums

It’s a fine album and definitely a turning point where Bowie really fine-tuned his talents. The clever songwriting, theatrical delivery, and all the Bowie charm people love him for. But as a full listen, it doesn’t really keep me hooked start to finish. Some standout tracks, sure, but overall it feels more like an important piece of music history than something I actually want to throw on and enjoy all the way through.

As a Bowie fan, I realized listening to this album that the only "record" of his I've ever listened to in full is a greatest hits CD we had in the car growing up. It helped me go into this one with a more open mind rather than already knowing it or having some other to compare it to. Perhaps that was the reason, but I was a bit underwhelmed by the album. Definitely some good ones on there, but others that didn't hold me like Bowie normally does. Overall: 3/5

Very good, but I didn't resonate with most of it.

couple bangers, hated it at first but cane around. 3.5/5

Legal

3.5

第一次认真听Bowie的专，还不错，和之前熟悉的Starman之类的区别比较明显。其中有几首不错，不过可能更喜欢Prog一点的。

Doing his full on Anthony Newley voice here. More piano based. I enjoyed it, but not my favorite Bowie.

Hard to be objective when some songs have been heard so many times over the years…rest of the album is okay but maybe a bit more forgettable.

Features the best song Bowie ever wrote, Life on Mars and two other good tracks.

i like this one

3.5/5 stars

Much calmer rock then s2s. Has energetic peaks but uses much more piano. 8 line poem especially is very relaxed - focuses on a mix of calm piano and simple riffs. Relies a lot on piano and acoustic guitar.

Not a big fan of David Bowie

I’ve never been a huge fan of David Bowie. He’s alright, but nothing more. Over and out.

Ah, another album I've ment to listen, but never got around to! I even know a few tracks off this album as it is. Bowies music is often very lyrics centric, which makes for a bit more boring listening experience. The album has 3-5 great songs, but some of the tracks sound so similar to each other, so one would have to be interested in the lyrics and stories they tell to get more out of them. I am not. Rest of the songs are ballads and slow moody songs, which I find very boring and tune out sort of automatically. This is not his best album for me, nor is it the worst, just not that interesting either way. In the context of Mr. Bowies career it seems to be an important one, but since this kind of music in general does not do much for me, well, I don't care for this one either. I'm kind of sad that most pop music is so shite for my ears and brains, I'd like to enjoy all the music, but alas! This is not the case!

I do enjoy some of David Bowie's work, but I wouldn't call myself a David Bowie super fan or anything. So, take what I say with a grain of salt. The most notable and popular song on this album is "Changes," but the rest of the music is something I think mostly David Bowie fans would enjoy, if that makes sense? The music wasn't bad, just not for me. I would still recommend it to others.

Good album

The more Bowie I listen to on this project, the more I realize I mostly enjoy his radio hits. It's not a bad album, but nothing really grabbed me. 3.5*

Getting a little tired of Bowie on the list, but there are some good songs on here for sure.

самый нормисный Боуи их всех возможных

The most David Bowie I have ever listened to. I like Changes, the others were... strange.

Strong start, thought it could become my favorite bowie album. But the quality of songs slowly degrade throughout

Definitely solid first 5 or so songs, then it went downhill with some of the deep cuts. Overall, not bad. 3.5 for sure.

Liked this one. Maybe second fav Bowie record?

Some classics on here including my fave Life on Mars. The supporting tracks I was never too into though.

Habe mir irgendwie mehr erhofft, weil David Bowie ja sooooo bekannt ist. The Bewlay Brothers ist ganz nett und das ganze Album hat irgendwie eine entspannte Atmosphäre, man erkennt David Bowie direkt wieder. Aber bei jedem Lied hatte ich das Gefühl irgendetwas fehlt

It feels wrong to rate Bowie even this low, but while the album sounds like him and fits his style, most of the songs are forgettable or a little awkward. That said, both Changes and Life on Mars? are hits, and I liked The Bewley Brothers a lot too. It's cool to hear this album even if it's not his greatest hits though because it was the start of him finding his unique sound.

2.5

Nice

I like some songs on this album quite a bit, but there are some I’m really not into. I’m gonna go with a three on this one. 3/5

Good Bowie, with lite rock elements. Some classics Bowie hits appear, but they're probably my last favorite of his hits. (Possibly burnout for life on 'changes', and that's hard to overcome)

I like David Bowie. This album isn't a chart topper for me, but it's better than a lot of what I've heard from this list recently. 3/5

It’s fine. “Changes” is “Changes”. “Life on Mars” is a lovely shade of lost-electrons melancholy featuring some tight, bracing, elastic vocals. “Queen Bitch” starts off toe-tapping and ends up dancing on the tables. It’s better than fine, it’s objectively really good. And. Yet. I. Just. Can’t. Make. Myself. Connect. To. It. Fleur says that it’s how I don’t really like Star Wars; she’s totally right that I don’t always click with things that an otherwise overwhelming majority of people do – hot I can’t stress enough that it’s not on purpose*. I’m not trying to be “out there”. Fuck, I wish I got it. But honestly, I joked “Come on Dave, I could be listening to Chat Pile” as we listened to this. And I meant it. I could have been. Chat Pile rules. 2.5. We’ll try again with the next record, Dave love.

This is probably the best Bowie album I'm going to hear. This made me realize that I just don't emotionally connect with Bowie as an artist. Personal enjoyment: 3/5 Relevance to this list: 3/5

Me ha sorprendido!!

Try as I might, I’ve never really been able to get into Bowie. I like a handful of his songs but most of it just doesn’t appeal to me. Not to say this album is bad, Changes is great (though I think the cover for Shrek 2 that he appears on is better). Solid album but not for me

No, there is no life on Mars

Friday albums always have a fleeting effect on me, and this one wasn’t mind blowing enough to properly remember but I know it was half decent for Bowie

you don't realize how many legendary songs there are on this album

Very well made. The people involved are very talented. David Bowie can SING! But ultimately, just not really my style, I wasn't really able to get into many of the songs. My favorite song was "Changes"

kinda mid tbh

Musically, I really don't like Bowie's voice, I think. Stylistically, his voice is really great, though. It's unique and stands out. But I don't think I would intentionally go out seeking David Bowie's music strictly because of his voice. So, I don't love it. But it definitely has its place in history (and on this list). I don't think that I have much else to say about it, though. It is what it is: a solid rock album with a front man that's larger than life but doesn't really have a ton of vocal talent. Favorite Song(s): Changes, Life on Mars?

Not my favorite Bowie album but not bad - not as esoteric as some, not as full of bops as others. Great lyrics, but sound-wise a little one dimensional.

3.41

I wish i was cool and liked art pop / art rock more. I enjoyed Quicksand and Fill Your Heart the most. 3.5/5

I am 300 albums into this list and this was my 7th David Bowie album. Maybe this is an unpopular opinion but I don't need to hear his entire discography before I die.

It's not a masterpiece, but it's alright; better than most of Bowie's earlier input. By masterpiece, I mean "DSotM" levels of greatness. "Hunky Dory" has "Life On Mars" and other classics on the A-side. The B-side is disappointing in comparison. By the way, I preferred "ZSatSFM". 3 stars for "Hunky Dory".

— Hunky Dory 1. Changes — classic 9.5/10 2. Oh! You Pretty Things — one of my bowie favorites since childhood! 10/10 3. Eight Line Poem — nothing special, slow for my preference 3/10 4. Life On Mars? — also another childhood memory. (never heard the talking at the very end, interesting to notice) 9/10 5. Kooks — alright, sounds kind of theatre-ish. would probably grow on me with more listens. nice melodies 6.5/10 6. Quicksand — guitar sounds really great at some moments, a little slow but enjoyable. felt like it went on a while. 6/10 7. Fill Your Heart — first time hearing, good! nice pickup after Quicksand. snappy and nice sax. (cool cool transition into next song) 8/10 8. Andy Warhol — talking at beginning good touch, got me nodding my head from the first notes. surprised I’ve never heard this one before, or maybe just don’t remember. really glad to find this one. (kinda hurts in earbuds with the volume high) 9/10 9. Song For Bob Dylan — nothing special, lyrics aren’t too interesting to me though it paints an effective picture. 4/10 10. Queen Bitch — catchy and nice guitars, just doesn’t totally catch my attention for some reason, prefer Lady Stardust for nostalgia, 7/10 11. The Bewlay Brothers — interesting for sure, especially lyrics, and good closing. liking the echo effects and choral ending, eerie and captures Bowie well 7/10 album cover thoughts — I feel like this cover has about 20 different variations depending on color shades and vibrancy levels. obviously iconic but it’s not my favorite Bowie cover to look at, compared to Ziggy Stardust or others. captures his spirit well, though. overall — has some amazing classics that will stick with me for my whole life, including some new discoveries! just not my favorite Bowie material though, especially with the slower ones scattered throughout. probably just needs a few more listen throughs to really get into some of the ones above 6/10 ratings. prefer Bowie concept albums rather than scattered culture references.

Listenable; a couple of particularly good tracks but nothing special as an album for me.

Very cool, super interesting chords and piano parts, unfortunately i just don’t like david bowie’s voice that much

Want my taste but still pleasant to listen too

I already knew the song Changes but not because it's by David Bowie, but because I heard it from the film Shrek. I'm embarassed to say this but as a late 90's kid and in my defense when i watched kids movies I wouldn't search the songs I enjoyed. However I enjoyed the whole album and I liked the different sounds.

not my favorite Bowie, I find it a little one note and I'm not that into Changes

This was an easy listen, but not my favorite Bowie

The first song sounds so different to the last song or maybe it's just me

Bowie

pretty good, I liked changes, kooks, and life on mars.

Eh, not really my style

Some tracks were catchy, but didn't have strong feelings about the album as a whole.

Side one carries a few big songs and then there's the rest. "Queen Bitch" is pretty cool with Mick's guitar riff. I don't really care for Bowie's delivery here. These are non-Taavicore melodies, not easy to follow and Bowie just goes here and there. Oh, there he is. Side two is only for the stronger fellas. Highlight: "Life on Mars?".

An eclectic mix of quirky songs. The album has a generally uplifting feel. I wasn’t bored or waiting for the album to finish. The album doesn’t immediately excite me but it does feel very original and fresh so I will probably listen to it again. I like the lyrics, so I might try to memorise them.

3.5

This isn't an album I've sat down and listened to from start to end before. I've definitely heard songs from it, but it was great to hear them all in context. Not my favourite Bowie album, for sure

Definitely not my favourite Bowie album, but it's cool reading from the Wikipedia article that this album is when "Bowie starts to become Bowie", so it's interesting to hear that transition album. There are definitely sections and songs on this album that are very good and it's good to hear that he was able to carry that forward to future albums. 3/5

I think this is the Bowie I think of when thoughts of Bowie are invoked. Which isn't often, but I *understand* this Bowie. Anything Bowie post 1979 just confuses me.

Some hits

It's David Bowie - you either like him or you don't. Some great hit songs, and some aren't.

Shrek! That is about all that excited me though. Not a fan of his style of music. But I have definitely heard a lot worse than this. 3/5

This was my favorite of the Bowie albums so far but that could be because I listened to Metallica before this.

It was fine, not one of my Bowie favorites.

David Bowie really isn’t as good as people make out he is. Changes is good, and Life On Mars is great, but Kooks and Andy Warhol are just a bit shit, and the rest is forgettable. It’s three stars not two, but it’s only just three.

I’ve learned I’m not a huge David Bowie fan but there are some classics on here. Can appreciate the artistry

The first half of the album, the annoying piano is so intense that nothing else can really breathe in the mix. Second half was brilliant. 3 seems fair.

Not too bad, gained some appreciation for Bowie with this one. But wasn't blown away.

Fave songs - Oh! You Pretty Things Life on Mars? The Bewlay Brothers

Pretty good album. Couldn't get Adam Sandler out of my head!

A few good songs, okay album. 3/5

Liked it. Favourite track is Life On Mars 3/5

Very good but not his best

Kinda like most Bowie albums. Some killer songs and a lot that’s forgettable.

Hunky Dory is the first glimpse at what was to come in the Ziggy Stardust era. Solid Bowie. Not quite a 4. 3.95

It was good

Uf so sache hani mich au gfreut, mal so zwunge werde chli was vom dave zlose hans den am sunntig abed ufem heiweg im zug gloset und mues leider sege dases mich nöd so us de socke ghaue hett hend ja au am samstig abed no chli drüber gredet gha was das album für eh narrative hett aber han halt widermal usegfunde dasi eifach bim musiglose nöd so uf de text lose defür hetts life on mars druffe gha, plus pünkt für de leider doch numes Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois vo mir scusa dave, maybe next time

Habe mir irgendwie mehr erhofft, weil David Bowie ja sooooo bekannt ist. The Bewlay Brothers ist ganz nett und das ganze Album hat irgendwie eine entspannte Atmosphäre, man erkennt David Bowie direkt wieder. Aber bei jedem Lied hatte ich das Gefühl irgendetwas fehlt

Some of Bowie’s greatest songs and some I wouldn’t piss on if the master tapes were on fire

Didn’t like majority of album. Changes, Kooks and Bob Dylan only things I liked The rest were too abstract

Considered the best Bowie album, my personal favorites remain “Heroes” and “Ziggy Stardust”. A bit too McCartneyesque for me, the songs “Changes” and “Life on Mars” got the nod for my Bowie playlist.

Strummy and sexy

Hunky dory means something is fine or ok. It does not mean essential. It does not mean classic. Something that you must experience before you die would not be considered hunky dory. “Hunky Dory” is hunky dory. “Queen Bitch” is great, “Life on Mars” and “Bewlay Brothers” and others are hunky dory I suppose, and “Quicksand” is not fine at all. The 1001 should not be about things that are just hunky dory, and there is too much Bowie here.

This was a 3+ album. Better than OK but not great. The bigger takeaway for me is that I consider Bowie to be the Lady Gaga of his time. That might sound harsh, but I conclude that he’s more sizzle than steak. Blasphemy, I’m well aware. I’ve heard consistently that Bowie is a genious…blah, blah, blah. I don’t hear it. There is some pretty good songs, but a lot more mediocre stuff than peak listening pleasure. I feel similarly about Lady Gaga although Bowie is more consistent than her. Gaga’s hits are fantastic pop music, but the rest is filler. Very disappointing. Her voice is fantastic though. What Bowie and Gaga share is a flair for the dramatic whether it be a spaceman persona or a meat dress. This gets attention, but the hype is definitely >> the product.

-ok so i think i like this one more than Heroes but definitely less than Low. Wasn’t exactly sure what to expect after the other two but it seems to offer a slightly more traditionally ‘70s’ classic rock vibe. I liked some songs a bit more than others but overall enjoyed it. Queen Bitch is so good. 3.5 stars -Favorites are Changes, Life On Mars?, and Queen Bitch

Some classics here. Not a full album's worth.

Not my favorite Bowie album but interesting nonetheless

Ok

I can hear music in this - melody, texture, rhythm - but it doesn’t feel like music that lives in me. I’d be in the room for a few songs, recognize that it effects others and move on.

I dig it, good stuff.

I am a certified David Bowie hater. I was prepared and expecting to give this a low rating. But I have to admit that this album wasn't bad To start with, I didn't realise Changes was his song - and I really like that song! Most of the songs were alright, it's his voice that I can't stand. Never really been a fan of Life on Mars? but I did enjoy Queen Bitch I was glad about the lack of offensive spaceship noises in this one (apart from the start of Andy Warhol which was highly offensive to my ears) Slight offensive noises and bad screeching aside, I am going to say this album was alright on the whole. I probably would have rated higher with a different singer 3 ⭐️

Spirited, and very emotion expressive, has solid ideas and a good sound design background dating back to the rock of old, reminds me of the style of beetles or other bands in the classic rock genre. Though there was a fair amount more singing than I would expect which makes me think it was branching into pop. Old and classic, lots of people love David Bowie so, here is another yesteryear album.

Listened

Hit songs were good, but as an album it was a bit of a slog to get through.

7.2 leaves a lot to be desires on a musical level but some amazing tracks lay here

***An ok album

A couple of classics here. Also shades of good music to come.

Not my favorite Bowie era but still good

3eme album écouté après 'Low' et 'Aladdin Sane'. Celui-ci est donc plus ancien, et je le trouve un peu moins original qu'Aladdin Sane. Je connaissais : Life on Mars? (++) J'ai apprécié aussi : Andy Warhol (très original) Song for Bob Dylan (guitare +basse) Queen Bitch (plus punchy) Les autres morceaux sont un peu plus faibles. =>3/5

Not my #1 Bowie album - but still a great album.

Bowie's music for me is like a huge, placid lake of 'meh with a few brilliant peaks in it. None of them are on this album.

Man in wish I liked bowie more

Not my favorite Bowie album. Not that much of a fan of Bowie's piano ballads and a lot of the acoustic songs here. Changes and Life on Mars are also far from my favorite hit singles of his. The album does end pretty good with Andy Warhol, Queen Bitch and the Bewley Brothers though. Overall not too impressed. Ziggy is a better rocker and more commercially successful, The Man Who Sold the World was a stronger album as well, and anything he did after is way more impressive to me.

Must confess that this is the first David Bowie album I’ve listened to. Aside from the two really well known tracks there were a couple of mediocre fillers and a couple of really decent songs (Andy Warhole, Queen Bitch) which certainly sound like a blue print for the music that was to come in the 70s. Need to listen to more of his albums to understand where this sits in his catalog.

Never listened to this as a full album before. A handful of absolute classics, but drops off in the middle, not feeling Quicksand / Feel your heart

Enjoyed this one. Not totally my bag, as I've never been a huge fan of his vocal tone and melodies, but there are some great lyrics and solid songwriting. Enjoyed how this album is more pianocentric too.

Kooks, mars, changes. Rest is kinda blah. Listened 4 times

Det finns de som tycker Changes är världens bästa låt. Kanske, kanske inte. Jävligt bra är den iallafall. Tycker nog att Life On Mars? är strået vassare. Alla låtar var inte i samma klass men klart värt att lyssna på.

Hade velat gillar Bowie mer. Men inte tillräcklig många bra låtar för att bli knockad. Changes är ok. Life on mara mkt bra. Andy Warhol -låten var överraskande bra.

I liked this a a lot more than “Ziggy Stardust….” Just had a lot better songs. First 5 tracks alone is banger after banger. Right now it’s a light 3.5/5. Could move up more on multiple listens

Can see why it’s on this list, but not my taste, personally.

Enjoyable

I wouldn't say this album is hunky dory but it might just be dory.

Old, I guess.

Another Bowie album, starting to get a handful by now. Not too shabby, but definitely not his best either. 'Changes' and 'Life on Mars?' were a few levels above the rest for me. All in all decent, but as I'm not a major Bowie fan to begin with it didn't really lift any eyebrows. Strong 3.

Okayish.

Dit album heeft nog veel te veel jaren '60 klanken en spelerij. Tegelijk zijn sommige muzikale grapjes daadwerkelijk wel leuk en goed uitgevoerd. Ik ben geen fan van de artiesten die een knipoog van Bowie krijgen. Maar hij doet dat wel weer bijzonder goed. Het is niet een eigen klank, maar het zijn toont wel de veelzijdigheid van de man.

Bowie is zo'n artiest waarbij je het gehele oeuvre zou kunnen luisteren en de albums met elkaar zou kunnen vergelijken. Nu heb ik bij Taylor Swift al zo'n project gedaan, dat was ik niet van plan bij Bowie. Al heb ik bijna alle albums wel een keer geluisterd. Dit album zou ik nu niet 1-2-3 gekozen hebben als ik de beste albums van Bowie uit zou moeten kiezen, maar aan de andere kant heeft de beste man zoveel albums gemaakt, zoveel alter-ego's gehad en zoveel iconische nummers uitgebracht (verspreid over al die albums), dat het ook niet makkelijk maakt om een selectie door te voeren. Dit album markeert blijkbaar een overgang en dat maakt het op zichzelf wel interessant. Maar afgezien van een paar aardige nummers, mis ik toch een beetje de context van die zogenaamde overgang van rock-georienteerd naar Ziggy en Aladdin Sane. Misschien omdat het begint met vrij veel "Beatlesque" nummers naar wat meer verhalende en theatrale nummers. Ik vind het ook nog steeds wel heel duidelijk Bowie, maar dat komt misschien ook wel door zijn specifieke zang. Ipv overgang, zou je ook kunnen zeggen dat het overal een beetje tussen in valt als album. Ik vind het overigens wel weer grappig dat hij een Velvet Underground nummer heeft gemaakt, dat dan weer veel beter is dan wat Lou Reed en zijn drugsmaten zelf maakten. Maar dat maakt nog niet dat ik dit album een 4 zou geven, het blijft een redelijke 3. Bowie kan ik altijd wel goed aanhoren, dat scheelt.

Ja ja, m'n achtste Bowie en als ik het goed heb komt er hierna nog één (Low). Het album begint met een nummer dat ik ken en dat vind ik wel lekker. Dit album is sowieso best oké. Ik weet niet of het vloeken in de kerk is, maar ik vind het een beetje klinken als een Beatles album. Met vanzelfsprekend wel een stukje theater erbij (met Life on Mars? als hoogtepunt van de musical). Verder begrijp ik nog steeds de obsessie van de makers van deze lijst met Bowie niet. Maargoed. Een 3 levert dit wel op, ik kan het goed hebben. Misschien ben ik een veranderd mens inmiddels.

A few brilliant moments among mediocrity.

Inoffensive but not interesting

I'm too sick atm to give a good review so. It was a'ight. 3/5
