Not Bowie’s best, but a few songs were quite entertaining
Uneven both in quality and in style. There were some good moments (mostly on Oh! You Pretty Things, Song for Bob Dylan, and Bewlay Brothers), but I often found myself wincing (during pretty much every other song). Was expecting to like this more than I did. Kind of crazy that Metallica used the Andy Warhol riff in Master of Puppets though. Favorite Track: Bewlay Brothers 4/10
A few hits but a lack luster album
Love all the piano on this album...although some of it seems too theatrical... like the ending of old movies.
Isn't this supposed to be his first breakthrough? Considered by many as his best? Why does this suck then?
Ok-ish but not my cup of tea.
Too whimsical
While I've tried so many times to try and get into Bowie's fascinating style and incredibly high production-value, I just unfortunately don't enjoy most of the music once I get into it. As much as it pains to say, for me this album peaks with the very first song and it was all down hill from there. Despite how much I *want* to like it, it just didn't click with me.
Good start but falls off quickly for me. And I do like Bowie and he has been influential, 100%, but this album just isn’t it
meh
Not sure why I didn't really like this. It just rubbed me off the wrong way.
ok álbum, não fede nem cheira, não lembro de nada.
Hits and misses. Overall, just fine. Top songs: oh you pretty things, life on mars Bottom songs: changes, kooks
i'm torn on this album. i know some random songs of david bowie, sometimes big hits and sometimes not, and a fair amount about him and his music. but i'm not the biggest fan. as such, the album wasn't amazing to me, but i can still appreciate bowie's creation and c-c-c-changes (i couldn't not). "life on mars?" in particular shows bowie's evolution toward ziggy stardust; it's a soaring epic with intense lyrics. in fact, it sounds like it belongs on that album more than hunky dory! 2.5
Meh
Couple of good songs, rest is meh
Listening now. I always thought (and still do) that the production is poor
Still don't understand what the big fuss is about Bowie. Some good verses and choruses but never in the same song. Half the tracks are directionless and despite there being plenty that should make it interesting, it largely isn't.
Caught between the Bowie extremes of quirky, threadbare ballads and all-out pop-rock stardom. There are some excellent tracks on here ('Changes' and 'Queen Bitch' to name a few), but the entire product never really gels into a full LP.
Saved Prior: Changes Off Rip: Oh! You Pretty Things, Queen Bitch Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: It has become increasingly clear with every Bowie album I'm exposed to that I'm a normie Bowie listener who does not particularly care for the deeper album cuts. There are good songs in here that I would listen to independently but as a full album experience I'll pass.
couple good songs
false
:/ is it bad to just not dig it? :/ It’s ok, but not exactly my cup of tea
Bowie, geweldige persoonlijkheid, maar muzikaal vind ik er altijd maar bar weinig aan. Eigenlijk ook maar een irritante stem.
Album qui m’a laissé d’une indifférence. Évidement, j’étais déçu que ce soit cet album la de Bowie, malgré que c’est pas fini ! Je l’évite, rien de particulier Je lévite ch-ch-changes
some songs are ok
C'était très soft, je pense que Bowie peut faire mieux. Mais j'ai quand même bien aimé ch ch ch changeeeeeees
Meh
Not really a bowie guy
no
I just really don’t like Bowie, I don’t like his voice, I don’t think he did anything particularly groundbreaking with his sound given the eras he was in. The hype has always baffled me.
Very sentimental
I always thought Bowie was hit or miss, but this is just bland.
#7 Please no more 60s and 70s...
Snored through it.
A banger pianist and soulful instrumentation were not enough to rescue the inscrutable lyrics, disjointed experiments, and aloof vocals of an album unwilling to explore its own thoughts on any of its topics from changes to freedom, love and film. I can tell there is a story here. I wish I knew what it was.
Not impressed
schifo
Cantante mediocre y sobrevalorado por vestir raro. Musicalmente me resulta molesto. Realmente no es más que una nota a pie de página de cualquier canción del Sgt. Pepper. La producción es realmente lamentable.
Boring
Very boring
1 star for changes

I want to like Bowie but I just don't. This did nothing for me.
