Hunky Dory

Not my favorite album from Bowie but it's still Bowie. Album is still a solid one for someone else

I've never really listened to a whole Bowie album, really enjoyed this

Bra!

This era of Bowie was so punk rock before punk was even a thing

"Changes" and "Queen Bitch" are my top two, but I am not sure how much I really like Bowie overall - still getting used to what he's all about. I really liked "Heroes" (the song and album) but not sure on this earlier work. It's starting to become the Bowie of legend but not quite there yet IMO. I enjoyed the listen but nothing that blew me away.

What is it about David Bowie? I like all his albums. they are not what I call up when I want to listen to music though. I do love the song Changes.

Strong 4

Очень личный альбом только находящего свое звучание молодого Боуи. Здесь он, в отличие от предыдущих более гитарных альбомов, писал музыку на пианино, что хорошо слышно по многим песням. Но, как и в предыдущем лонгплее, пока его гения хватает лишь на несколько композиций, которые, тем не менее, стали классикой. Остальные треки воспринимаются скорее как филлеры, из-за чего переслушивать альбом полностью мне лично не так хочется. Но это изменится уже в его следующем полноформатнике про Зигги Стардаста, который великолепен от корки до корки. Главные песни, которые я бы выделил - открывашка Changes с интересным контрастом настроений и заикающимся хуком, которому невозможно сопротивляться (ch-ch-ch-changes); веселая акутическая Kooks, посвященная его новорожденному сыну, но вместо слащавости или слезоточивости эта песня вызывает желание затусить с друзьями в баре; Andy Warhol за цепляющий и нагнетающий рифф на акустической гитаре; и главный шедевр альбома Life on Mars?, проникновенная, надрывная, но в то же время вселяющая надежду фортепианная баллада, показывающая Боуи с лучшей стороны не только как сонграйтера, но и как исполнителя (эту его сторону часто недооценивают). Как итог - пусть и не "all killer", но очень важный альбом для становления Боуи как одной из главных фигур музыкальной сцены 70-х. 7/10

За life on mars пять тысяч звезд. Бритиш поп мьюзик в своем прайме. Софи на обложке выглядит замечательно.

Oh, hear this David Robert Jones I wrote a review for you About a strange dead man called Bowie Вообще заходил на переслушивание с ощущением, что это мой второй самый любимый альбом у Боуи после Low (сорри, Зигги), и первая половина это подтверждала. Два лютых бэнгера (Changes и Life on Mars?) и просто симпатичные запоминающиеся песни (разве что Eight Line Poem проседает на фоне). Но после Kooks альбом превращается в тыкву и ничего примечательного до закрывающего трека не происходит. The Bewlay Brothers при этом как финал работает прекрасно и немного смягчает разочарование от второй половины, но общее впечатление такое, что можно поздравлять Зигги с "серебром" в моем личном топе альбомов Боуи до уже его переслушивания. Оценки 3,5 тут нет, к сожалению, поэтому все таки 4, но карандашом.

Лучшая песня - Andy Warhol Худшая - Fill your heart. Чип чип чип и дейл под гитарку.

Боуи дуин сам боуи фингс. Life on mars великое, в целом классный альбом, но ещё не зигги стардаст

He moves in his own way... (c) Kooks

Как объективно оценить альбом, который повлиял на становление твоих вкусов в музыке? Что было бы, если бы он мне не попался в 18 лет? Есть ли жизнь на Марсе? Ответы на эти вопросы мы не знаем

Ощущение, что geese переместились в прошлое. Для меня слишком минималистичное звучание. Понравились только треки с Энди Уорхоллом и Боба Диланом в названии Спасибо челенджу, что выпал этот альбом, сама бы я за прослушивание не взялась

Я не самый большой фанат Боуи, но альбом неплохой.

I’m always conflicted by David Bowie. His albums sleeves are great and most of them are iconic. All his albums contains at least 2 songs that are pretty much up there in popularity. But as whole album, they are pretty average. Same here we have Changes and Life on Mars? But what about the rest? I don’t think they are equally as good and Bowies voice can be a hit and miss and for me on this album is a miss

Great album. It was pretty weird and really solid throughout. I liked some lyrics more than others, but the tone of the songs was always really good.

was kinda boring for my taste

Not my style but I see why people love it Bowie is an icon for all

Song ratings in no particular order: Oh! You pretty things- piano at the start is calming and sets a nice vibe. When he started singing I didn’t really like it, his voice is not nice with the piano. He saves it when he comes I with the “oh you pretty things.” I love the sudden change in musical texture, I especially like the clapping and background vocals. It has a bit of a nostalgic old time London vibe. Overall apart from the first verse I love it. 4/5 Queen bitch- I love the non-lexical vocals at the start. The guitars are great and then the drums is the cherry on top. My head couldn’t help but rock along to the rhythm. This song would be perfect on a road trip. 4/5 Changes- LOVE the instrumentals at the start. Has such a jazzy vibe. The chorus is so satisfying. I love how he says turn and face the strange and the ch ch of changes. The music has a nice flow. Sax at the end is so good. Piano and bass are also *chef’s kiss* 5/5 Eight line poem- instrumentals are great. I love the attitude the guitar is giving. Arrangement and production is great. I didn’t like the reverb at collision, it felt to long. I didn’t like the lyrics. 3/5 Song for bob Dylan- guitar at start is sexy. Love the drums. Keys are slaying. Feels like I’m listening in to a conversation. Is a chill song I could listen to in the background. 4/5 Life on Mars- from the start it sets a very unique and nostalgic vibe. The piano definitely feels space like. I felt the strings in my soul. Drums is so good. This song feels like I’m skipping on a big fluffy cloud. Feels very original. 5/5 Kooks- I love the intro. Has a nice and consistent vibe. Background vocals are good. Feels both chill and jazzy. I love how after he says “trumpet” there is a bit of trumpet played. Arrangement is nice. 5/5 The Bewlay Brothers- is a very quiet son at start. I love the crescendo. Guitar is very good. When it was good it was really good but at other times it was bad. Some cool and unique parts that I like. I was unsure how to feel at many parts. 3/5 Didn’t get around to finishing

This was fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

This is the third Bowie album and they start to sound similar to me. I guess they are pretty visionary, but i wouldn't choose to listen to it

I don't think I'm quite a 5 on this, but probably the best Bowie we've had so far for me. Changes kicks things off with a bang and soon we get to Life on Mars, which is right up there with my all-time favorites of his, and to follow it up with Kooks is just awesome (I'm sort of addicted to the chorus and the little trumpet part). I like the piano-led and more stripped down nature of a lot of the songs, and some nice vocal melodies throughout. This one is a winner.

Uwielbiam Davida Bowiego, nie uważam żeby ten album był najlepszy, ale nadal jest bardzo dobry.

Definitely my style of bowie

No one sounds like he did. So good. Great album all the way through

Very enjoyable

Omg! Love Changes and the whole album such a vibe

Bowie never disappoints. It’s crazy how good and how different so many of his albums are. Love this one. Highlights: “Changes”, “Oh! You Pretty Things” and “Life on Mars”

This album loses focus too quick and feels too slow, but it does have a couple incredible standouts.

This album features a couple of Bowie's greatest hits which are iconic in their lyricism and in showcasing Bowie's vocal range. Outside of Changes and Life on Mars, the rest of the album was a little odd.

Hunky Dory blends Bowie’s poetic lyricism with lush glam-rock melodies and orchestration to great effect.

It’s Bowie, so it’s good. Not my favorite album by him though.

Yeah I'll say it. I don't like Changes. The rest of the album is sick though, especially Life on Mars.

it's very jingle-jangley and a little *kooky* (this is an oblique reference to the song, "Kooks", included in the album). i don't even have any particular criticism, its just a very neat and rewarding listenthrough. this david bowie guy is pretty good. my favorite song is probably Quicksand, although the beat drop in Oh! You Pretty Things is a great tonesetter, and Andy Warhol is also pretty sick

Rating: 9/10 One of David Bowie’s many incredible classics. When I think of the start of the modern music era, it’s the late 60’s and it feels like this came along to just be so refreshing and unique. Great lyrics and delivery here, the A Side is just full of amazing songs, I love Queen Bitch, and The Bewlay Brothers might be arguably my favorite song here. Works so well as a closer and the mixing and layering of the instrumentation are great. He even has a song for our guy Bob Dylan. 4.5 is the accurate rating but let’s make it a 5 here

Good listen. I sadly like the hits and Quicksand a lot more than most of the rest of album, but it was good 7.1/10

Yeeesss😁

Bowie is forever. The peak of what rock music can accomplish.

I thoroughly enjoyed this! I love how weird and distorted it gets towards the end of the album. Personal favourites are “Andy Warhol” and “Queen Bitch”.

A classic, full stop.

3.5

Best songwriter ever I wish he could sing (4.5)

Love it! it's a wonderful album! It's been a long while since I haven't heard it, but it was great to revisit it :)

Love Bowie but this felt disjointed

perfection, i wanted to listen Bowie for a long time, i enjoyed this one

Changes HOT start, love this song so much. And then Life on Mars - Bowie truly one of a kind

Delicioso maravilhoso com algumas das músicas mais lindas do mundo

Pretty good, but nothing stood out. Sort of bland but sounds good.

Hunky Dory was the very first David Bowie album I ever heard, 54 years ago, and after more than half a century, my take on it hasn’t shifted at all. Side one is outstanding: packed with classics like “Changes,” “Oh! You Pretty Things,” “Life on Mars?,” “Kooks,” and “Quicksand”. It’s flawless in my book and easily earns a perfect 5/5. Side two, though? It doesn’t quite match that magic for me, more of a 3/5. Overall, I’d still give the full album a solid 4/5. Timeless stuff, even if the sides feel uneven to these old ears.

Bowie’s second best album (after ziggy stardust). Every track on here is gold.

Ja tutaj idę sentymentalnie, bo moja pierwsza dziewczyna kochała Bowiego bardziej niż własnego ojca (jej ociec był ciekawszy — kochał zamki i chodząc po Wawelu opowiadał i o kurhanach, po tych też później łaziliśmy, ale też o czakramach wawelskich). Słuchając więc odblokowałem wspomnienia, w których opowiadała mi o Dawidzie lepsze historie, niż swoje własne, które po latach okazało się, że były nieprawdą (a to przed czasami tak chwiejnego Internetu, więc nie miałem w zwyczaju sprawdzać faktów — błąd). Anyway, fajne. Ja tam lubię, jak on się buja/ł.

Sprytne zagranie ze strony algorytmu losującego, ja narzekam że wszystko jest wspomnieniem lat 60., to on daje nam album który TECHNICALLY jest z ’71. Co z tego jak i tak brzmi jakby bitelsom się już nie chciało. Tak się nudziłem, że aż mnie to bawiło. Punk jak jezus chrystus musiał umrzeć żeby z jego zgliszczy mogła narodzić się interesująca muzyka

Ch ch ch ch changeeeees

No well Bowie XD Co tu się dużo rozpisywać. Fajen

Was nice! Some classics

It was pretty good. I knew the two big songs (Changes and Life on Mars) and they were still fantastic. The rest was pretty great too. Not quite Ziggy Stardust levels (the one Bowie album I actually do know, plus a couple of other songs) but if the rest of his stuff is this level of pretty good - and I imagine it is - I'm looking forward to it.

7.10

it's illegal in some counties to give this anything less than five stars.

Remember that bbc show life on mars? Was class that. Might rewatch it

Me ha gustado más que el álbum de "The cars", es David Bowie, siempre va a ser una buena opción.

Introduced me to my future favourite artist

Love it. Im surprised I've never heard something so classic

its good but im not the biggest bowie fan

Some gems for sure. Didn't keep me for the whole album but loved the incredible singles

Rather enjoyable album, versatile topics and cheerful tones; but I think I prefer a more gloomy Bowie from the later years 😁

A masterpiece, nothing more to say. Might as well be my favorite Bowie record. Each time I listen to it, it gives me different feelings and emotions. Life on Mars is one of the best songs ever written. Oh, You Pretty Things is my top Bowie track.

its ok. i liked 2/11

Easy to like. Interesting and fun songwriting by Bowie. Classic Pop Instrumentation with some Jazz and Rock influence. A couple of interesting (sometimes questionable) panning choices. Some very nice acoustic guitar tones throughout.

As a hardcore Bowie fan, I've always found this to be his most overrated album. With the exception of "Life On Mars?" this mostly feels schmaltzy and inauthentic, like Bowie doesn't know if he wants to be Elton John, Bob Dylan, or Lou Reed, and settles for an uninteresting combination of the three. The strings bring a sense of cheesiness to most of the songs that they're on, and others like "Fill Your Heart" are just bad on their own. This is one of the few Bowie albums I don't own, and I don't think I'll ever buy a copy. It makes sense that the one other album where he takes a similar approach, 1999's 'hours...', is another one of my least favorites of his. If this were another band it would be one of their better albums, but I expect more from Bowie.

Woahhh bowie!!!!! I maybe a bit bias in this album because i really like him👉🏻👈🏻 My favorites are changes, oh! you pretty things, life on mars⭐️

Fun! Would listen to more by him

I’ve listened to this a bunch of times now, because I can’t decide exactly what to say about it. I like it, it had a couple song I know, and some very fun songs. I didn’t love every song, but some were very fun. “Queen Bitch” has a line that inspired the chorus of Mr. Brightside, and I discovered this on my own!

I love Bowie, his image, his creativity, his vulnerability, and his music. A story teller who embodied his art completely.

This is an absolute classic. It was amazing listening back to this after a number of years, and hearing the threads of the influence it's had on so much music since.

Prefer the mix on this album over Ziggy Stardust - I like the sharper sound. Minor gripe with "Andy Warhol" - I didn't mind the song but I really don't like when artists include random studio chatter etc., it just doesn't belong on an album from my perspective (maybe as a B-side or nowadays as part of an attached extras disk or something). Is it realistically something that your average listener wants to hear every time the song plays? That being said at least it's an amusing exchange - Wingardium Leviosaaaaaaah. Highlights: - "Life on Mars?", something about this song just feels really powerful. Not sure what it is exactly. Is good. - "Quicksand", like the instrumental choices, like the vocals. Just a very expressive song. - "Queen Bitch" I think I could quite happily listen to most of this album again. High 3/Low 4.

Standouts: Changes - Yooo from shrek 2 Life on Mars Quicksand Queen Bitch Crazy how many songs I know from this. I appreciate this style of vocals more that I did from ziggy stardust. In life on mars his vocals keeping up with the instruments when the both hit their stride is very impressive and makes the whole section feel magical. The mixing is very clear which makes every track feel distinct with how different the instruments are in each. Bowie saying Bob Dylan can't sing during "A song for Bob Dylan" almost moved this album to a 4. High 3

Pleasant enough.

Best Bowie

the good songs are REALLY GOOD, and the rest of them are fine. Thank you David Bowie!

Amaze

Certified classic. Not my favorite Bowie album, but it's still a great one

Probably listen on a road trip but not a daily basis. Life on mars is my favorite

A strong record containing classic bowie tracks but more importantly it's evident he found his voice and style on this record. A must listen for sure

フックのある曲が入っていてアルバムとしての完成度も高い良盤。

another pop entry from david bowie. after taking a little rest, david channels more of his songwriting, this time writing music from a piano instead of a guitar. the album is written poetry and is a tribute to the arts. bowie is really getting his redemption arc this year, especially compared to past reviews; these albums i get recommended, i eat them up every single time. what i really like about bowie is that in his massive discography lasting almost half a century, he's got something for every kind of person on earth. his musical stylings be damned, he was essentially one of the greatest talents that had a strong passion and unfiltered respect for human expression. i would have loved to meet him.

It's weird. I have heard Bowie all my life. His songs play at key points in movies and TV shows, his songs come on the radio at the right time, and there is always some sort of list or article or media piece about him where his countless songs are brought. All that to say, I have never listened to this album all the way through before. I have heard most of the songs before, no doubt, just never listened to it all. It's a great album as numerous others have written. Lot's beautiful moments throughout the album, but that front half is loaded in my opinion. This one was easy to repeat listening to after I heard it all. It's one of those I'll be listening to for awhile now. Biggest Hit (limiting to one) - Life on Mars? Biggest Miss (if I had to choose) - Kooks, this one just doesn't fit as well for me. Hidden Gem - Oh! You Pretty Things

Starts well but fades

There is interesting songwriting, I admit that. However, I can’t listen to Bowie’s vocals. It’s terrible.

Love Bowiee

Classic. Two big hits

I loved it, a great listen for the drive home after class. big fan indeed, especially of “Life on Mars?”

Kind of like a cross between early 70s rock and show tunes. I do not like show tunes, but Bowie sells it pretty effectively. It deserves its status as his first classic album, though I think it’s just a taste of things to come. Best song: Oh! You Pretty Things

5/10 I only really liked two songs.

Incredible album. A top 10 for me. No notes.

So good!

idk

This was Bowie's first great record. Previous albums had the odd classic song here and there, but this is when his Legendary Album run began. The instrumentals are more acoustic than one might expect from Bowie, with acoustic guitars and piano being the main element. Lyrically it's a bit all over the place, as Bowie would only take on the conceptualist lane on the next album, while visually all the elements were already falling in place, for instance the androgyny very evident in the cover. Key tracks: Changes Oh! You Pretty Things Life on Mars? Kooks

There are some really iconic songs on this one and that really drove up the interest in it for me. However, outside of that I’ve never been a huge Bowie fan, and the lesser known parts of this album didn’t really change that for me.

простой такой альбом, спокойный

Never go wrong with Bowie

Life on Mars

Such a great album, David Bowie is tea. I don't know if this reached perfection but it's close and very close to my music taste

Fav tracks: changes, eight line poem, life on mars?, fill your heart, queen bitch No skips for this album. Listening feels like drinking a warm cup of tea and watching your favorite videos as a kid

Each song a surprise. David Bowie cementing his legacy. Now I see. Near perfect album.

I really want to love Bowie and though I can really enjoy some of his music, I just can't get behind a lot of it. I hadn't listened to this album before and I hoped it would blow me away and get me into his music but it didn't do that. It had it's great moments, I was surprised to hear such beautiful piano in parts, but I don't feel like it left much of an impact on me. Two standout songs for me were Life on Mars and Song For Bob Dylan

good put preferred ziggy stardust

favorite tracks: oh! you pretty things kooks quicksand

Shrek version of Changes is better but still a 5

8/10 There's no doubting how good this is and how influential, but I don't love it. Something about Bowie - does it all feel a little too performative perhaps? - which just holds it back for me. But I enjoyed it.

I love this album and have listened to it before. Really like the flow of the album, and the arrangements/piano, the vocals are great too, really front and centre. Queen Bitch hits different on this listen, such a banger. Same with The Bewlay Brothers, weird and great closer. No skips, one of my favourite Bowie albums

My third Bowie on this list (I'm still flabbergasted that there's 9 of them on here.) Prefer this one over Ziggy Stardust. Much more stripped down but I dig the melodies. Only song I really don't like is The Bewlay Brothers. Highlights: Oh! You Pretty Things, Life on Mars?, Queen Bitch

I just don't get it. I don't think Bowie's that bad, but I guess I don't see what every one else sees in his music. 3/5

Can’t say I really get it but I had a lot of fun trying to.

Although I’ve heard and enjoyed some of his work, I’ve never been a huge Bowie fan, and this is the first time I’ve really listened to one of his albums. I have to say, I’m surprised by how much I liked it. He has a way of bringing songs to life that honestly no other artist does, and this album is absolutely full of personality. The production isn’t particularly fresh or crisp, but it has a special quality, and is fairly impressive for the era of this album. There’s plenty of interesting instrumental choices in this album, and the lyrics always seem to intrigue me. Plus the Andy Warhol song is pretty funny.

Loved it when I first heard it and still love it today - the sense of play and whimsy, combined with strong melody makes this the best Bowie album in my opinion.

conhecia 2 músicas já achei bem legal, mesmo

This album rips

Not my favourite one, it was okay but wouldn't listen again I don't think.

Strong start, bit week in the middle last few song where ok

Not a bad album, far from it, but just a touch overrated in my opinion. Maybe it's just because David Bowie has so many other albums outclassing this one, but I just feel that there's nothing particularly special about this one. 7.5/10

Not my cup of tea

Great intro to David Bowie aside from his classically famous songs. Love to explore more of his discography especially listening to Heroes from Stranger Things' finale. I was smiling while listening to this album. It sounds like he's talking about his life and friends(?) Fave song: changes

This was such a fun and light album to listen to!!!

I really love parts of this album while other parts are either too experimental or hint at what Bowie would do later to greater effect. This is still a very solid album by one of the most important artists in popular music.

Brabo demais

píanó

Pretty good

This is not the best David Bowie album, but it makes me happy and it’s a 5 in my heart

I think this a really strong album with some fantastic songs. The whole package doesn’t quite gel for me, but I’ll forgive the eccentricities.

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.

Good piano parts in the first few songs. First two songs definitely better than the rest, not just a huge fan of his voice.

pretty great I love david bowie popular songs from this album are popular for a reason 4.5 stars 8.5/10

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.

This is without a doubt the style of Bowie I enjoy the most. Just weird enough, and still very pleasant to listen through. Best Track: Changes

Bowie's first true masterpiece. The first of many.

not my fave by him

176 Hola David, amigo. Altas expectativas. Me hiciste sonreir varias veces de las sorpresas que tenías. Pero no sé si te escucharía de nuevo. Sorry?

It was Hunky Dory

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

This is pure 70s David Bowie. Moody, pensive and manic at times. Classic songs.

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.

I need a few more listens to latch on but it’s good stuff

excellent lyricism, love how experimental some tracks are. e.g. andy warhol, wish the whole album had that vibe, though most instrumentals feel relatively common and "safe". not bowie's best by any means.

David Bowie's music can do no wrong. This album is one of my favorites of his. The songwriting, the acoustic pop, Bowie's voice, they're all fitting together great.

One of his bests

Any album with Changes, Life on Mars? and Queen Bitch is gonna be at least 3 stars. Featuring a personal fav in Andy Warhol gets it up to a 4.5, and even though the rest of the tracks don't stand out in any Forever Track™ kinda way, they are all some combination of fun/interesting/of a piece so Hunky Dory gets a 5 from me Not sure I need to listen to the whole album again any time soon, but I appreciate it as a statement!

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes

Top tier Bowie; this one was never really in rotation for me but most of the songs are familiar and deeply felt classics.

Good album enjoyed it allot more than I thought I would. Wouldn’t say I was ever a massive fan of David Bowie however this could change things !

Mais Bowie sendo Bowie. Menos de 300 discos gerados e já peguei ele incontáveis vezes. Não estou reclamando, afinal, ele é meu artista favorito. Esse disco é quintessencialmente Bowie. É o álbum mais Bowie junto de Ziggy Stardust (que ainda não gerei!). Sua cadência vocal é completamente inconfundível, a temática das canções, a instrumentalização muitas vezes barroca e outras vezes operática… é tudo que se deve esperar de um álbum de David Bowie, e eu particularmente nunca fico farto dessa combinação milionária. Suas letras são tão comoventes e profundas, mesmo mantendo sua ilusória simplicidade. É um disco tremendamente consistente no que entrega, talvez até mesmo o mais consistente da discografia do artista, junto de ★. Álbum divertido. Canções como Kooks possuem arranjos tão brilhantes e coloridos, é difícil não sorrir às ouvindo. Acho mágico a forma com que Bowie emprega uma variedade tão grande de gêneros e influências. E só pra irritar, vamos combinar que David Bowie faz o Bob Dylan mil vezes melhor que o próprio Bob Dylan! 5/5

Great album. 4 stars.

Knew more songs than I would have thought, great walking music

Favs: changes, the belway brothers, quicksand

Incredible album. Every song is unskippable. Full of classics, but a few lesser known gems (to me), and a great listen all the way through. I loved it so much I listened to it again right after finishing.

Have always heard about David Bowie and all the kids into music were into Bowie. Found it kind of tinny and boring. 2/5 stars (lowered from 3/5) - nothing memorable

I liked this album better than Heroes. A couple of the tracks reminded me of some of the quirkier Beatles tracks and I really liked that.

“And these children that you spit on As they try to change their worlds Are immune to your consultations They're quite aware of what they're going through” What a brilliant lyric. I’m now at an age where I’m considered young by many and old by some, and I feel like I’ve been on both sides of this lyric. The album where Bowie became Bowie, one of the greatest artists in all of pop, someone who never seemed to write for anyone except himself. His experimenting with gender feels truly progressive, and it’s full of great songs to boot!

Changes and Life on Mars are so incredible that the rest of the album could be blah and I’d still rate this high, but there’s no filler on this whatsoever. A certified classic.

Gran álbum

Gear: SIMGOT SuperMix 4 Artwork: 🥺👱🏻‍♀️⭐ Production (2015 Remaster): 🎧😘🤌 Music: 🎹🎨❤️‍🔥 Rating: 👌👌👌👌(👌)/5

Every song on the album is a different aspect of the best parts of Bowie. Unique and beautiful

3/10. More funky. Not my cup of tea. But not terrible

fine, two good songs

Lots of Bowie on this list, doesn't always click with me. This one certainly does. Changes is a great opener, Life on Mars is cool, I also loved Quicksand, Song for Bob Dylan, Queen Bitch and the Bewlay Brothers. Instrumentation was great throughout and Bowie is a master performer. 4.5* for me, rounded down.

very upbeat; Beatles reminiscent in sound.

One of those albums everyone should listen to as part of their music education – but not one I keep coming back to. Life on Mars is a masterpiece. Other standout tracks: Oh! You Pretty Things, Kooks

ngl i love how bowie can sing the most miserable and depressing lyrics in a fun and dancing way, it’s beautiful

I was prepared for this to be a good album on the basis of just a couple tracks, and Life on Mars can do a lot of heavy lifting, but I found something interesting about almost every one of them. Bowie isn't an artist I choose, but I always find him compelling.

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.

objectively i’m sure it’s a good album but it’s not my thing. glad i listened to it to expand my horizons and say i’ve listened but i won’t be listening again

This is my fifth Bowie album on my list. It is one I've listened to multiple times before and own. It is my favourite from his before I started this list and still is my favourite. I will find it hard to have it proven to me that it is not his best.

Not my favorite Bowie, but still great

I recognized Life on Mars?

really good, can't promise i'll listen again. top songs changes oh you pretty things fill your heart

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

Bowie at his most interesting. And some all-timers on here, eg Queen Bitch, Changes, and the wonderful Life on Mars.

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.

Bowie on the cusp of being "Bowie" excellent back to front, good sign of things to come.

I often feel like this is the "listen to the 1001 David Bowie albums that exist" list. There's no fucking way every single Bowie album has a place on this list. No way. This was the best Bowie album I have listened to, but that a pretty low bar. I think if it were the only one I've been subjected to, I'd maybe even like it. But this has to be the 4th one I've had, and there are like 5 more? Unbelievable. I don't get the hype. ⭐⭐⭐

This album feels like riding a motorcycle in a rainy morning cruising through cars and worrying if you’d slip but you won’t you’re just worried and you need to hurry because you’re late for work but when you arrive you find that everything is alright and your heart now is filled with joy

Bowie had such a distinct style in his music. He isn't exactly an amazing vocalist, but he took what he had and tore up with it. Particularly loved the performances on "Changes" and "Life on Mars."

Ok

Takeaway: David Bowie is almost always consistently mid. Some exceptions - but none in this album. 2/5

Getting there David

très bon album, incontournable qui va très bien avec l'ambiance des fêtes et me rappelle the perks of being a wallflower.

Great person, I didn't really like his singing style, but I love his songs meanings, and I really liked some of the songs. I don't know why, but for me, I liked "Andy Warhol" the best. Legend person.

Never was a big Bowie fan but this was solid.

85/100

Ei yhtään kappaletta, mitä haluaisi kuulla uudelleen. Kiitos hei.

I rate it a 8/10 there was only a few songs I didn’t like but overall I like it

A subreddit user recently asked us to provide our 100 favorite albums. I knew Bowie would need to be in the top five, so I put in Low at number 3. Hunky Dory ended up at 17, which in retrospect seems like a mistake. There are plenty of days in which it is my favorite Bowie album and even my favorite album of all time. Why? The same explanation everyone has: this is the album where Bowie becomes Bowie. But it might be more accurate to say it is the album where he most clearly demonstrates the process of becoming Bowie 1.0. Bowie 1.0 (before Berlin) was the changeling who became Ziggy Stardust, The Thin White Duke, and all the less developed characters in between. Bowie 2.0 (Berlin and after) was David Bowie, the man, sharing what it was really like to be him (while also donning occasional costumes). If Bowie 1.0 is Major Tom, Bowie 2.0 is “We know Major Tom’s a junkie.” But David Bowie wasn’t a known quantity before Ziggy Stardust. People still thought he was a novelty artist, a one-hit wonder, a theatrical freak dabbling in rock and roll. He covers a Tiny Tim song on Hunky Dory; listeners wouldn’t have been crazy to group the two together. Looking back, we can see the genius of his earlier output, but very few people were paying that much attention in 1971. (Since I got this one over the weekend, I also listened to Divine Symmetry, a four-disc set that explores the process around “Hunky Dory,” including demos and live performances. You can tell from those sets that while the songs were great, the story of the album or the artist or the band is far from worked out.) So when Bowie sings about “ch-ch-ch-ch-changes,” he isn’t yet referring to his protean public persona. He’s talking about what it is like to be him, or the people around him, or the contact high formed by the connection of the two. There is so much “thou” in this album, whether it is the angelic rising generation of “Oh! You Pretty Things,” his newborn son in “Kooks,” or the grabbag of name checks: Andy Warhol, Lou Reed, Churchill, Himmler, Greta Garbo, Aleister Crowley. Bowie was such a chameleon that he was always afraid of becoming of whoever was around him, yet here he seems to have no shame around it yet. Why not write a song about Bob Dylan the same way Dylan wrote a song about Woody Guthrie — isn’t that just what we artists do? And yet. Dylan’s first album was an unabashed tribute; Bowie is up to something different here. Would you really want to be the object of “Queen Bitch,” “Song for Bob Dylan,” or “Andy Warhol” (which apparently made Andy leave the room the first time he heard it)? Each of these songs shines a spotlight on the difficulty and tension of worshiping other artists. “Andy Warhol, Silver Screen, Can’t tell them apart at all.” It was Warhol’s whole deal, of course, but are you comfortable with someone calling it out so clearly? As others have observed, these references to the pseudo-reality of film are the throughline of “Hunky Dory,” showing up in most of the songs. Bowie is aware that he is seeing, experiencing, projecting, critiquing, all at once, without ever quite making it into a film school seminar (thank God). It’s this detachment that make things like the flirtation with fascism tolerable. This used to bother the shit after me, but the best explanation I’ve read is that Bowie is shocked by the extent to which he is fascinated by the same set of ideas as Himmler and others. He wants to be as pretty as “the coming race” of “Homo superior” yet also frightened about what that means. And eventually that all congealed into the much more accessible character of Ziggy, the self-loathing starman who can’t quite save us. But for now, it’s just Bowie being weird as shit and making it sound like chamber music. I still have no idea what a tactical cactus is, yet the phrase gets stuck in my head all the time. That’s Hunky Dory to me, the crazed hidden notebooks that foreshadow everything yet also refuse to be any one thing themselves.

only liked andy warhol

Very chill album I love David Bowie Favourite song is the song for Bob dylan

Bold and creative. Would probably not get signed today. It's really odd at times. I like some of it and can appreciate the artistry of the songs that are not for me. A classic for good reasons. 5/5

Exceptional album. Was my intro to Bowie 35 years ago and occupies a special soft spot. It’s articulate, exploratory and beautiful.

Very Good Bpwie album, one of his best but it's not quite as good as something like The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust

Some stone cold classics but I find it weak in certain places. Certainly not a bad effort though and was a sign of what to expect from him in his next few albums.

Love this

Top drawer Bowie

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.

This is a good album. I already knew ‘Life on Mars.’ I ended up adding: ‘Changes,’ ‘Eight Line Poem,’ and ‘Quicksand’ to my playlists.

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

No diría que está entre mis favoritos de Bowie, pero tiene un grupo de hitazos que hace imposible no quererlo. Pero en general, lo siento un poco menos increíble que a sus álbumes legendarios. No por eso menos genial, claro.

love bowie

A great album from an artist I love that I have ashamedly never listened to all the way through. I got to find some deeper cut favorites that I didn't know I loved and they're surrounded by great hits like "Changes" and "Life On Mars?"

Classic Bowie what a great album. Most of the songs are awesome but some don't quite match my ear such as Andy Warhol

Definitely one of his top albums. But I still like Ziggy better.

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.

It’s David Fucking Bowie. It’s his fourth studio album and the earliest one on the list. It’s unbelievable that we get a great Bowie album every year, like the next year after this masterpiece we got another one, Ziggy Stardust. What a genius omg. Changes — Love the song, love the lyrics, love the Shrek. Yes, the cover of this song with Bowie as participant was in Shrek 2. It’s everything you need to know about it hahahahah lol. It’s basically Bowie’s manifesto, ‘cause he loved changes so much, it was throughout his life, throughout his career and it’s just his performance. I wish to untie this ball and understand why I love the Bowie so much. Is it really since childhood when I saw Shrek or is it because of Elon Bowie & Bach are my two fav musicians (https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1644575182839742464?s=20) — Elon Musk, April 8th, 2023 or is it some other reason? Time may change me. But I can’t trace time. Oh! You Pretty Things — I don’t know, it’s great song. Homo sapiens have outgrown their use. Eight Line Poem — Chill nice song, it’s not in my playlist. Life on Mars? — yes, yes, yes. It’s the first Bowie song I was obsessed with. I heard it in a SpaceX animation video (https://youtu.be/Tk338VXcb24?si=b7z1y9NqnQ5pYGzs) about the Falcon Heavy Launch in 2018 and it’s changed my life. I love Bowie so much since then. Life on Mars is the №4 lifetime song in my Spotify and I streamed it over 80 times. So, yes, I admire this song. The history of creating this song is mind-blowing. There was a French hit song “Comme d’habitude (https://youtu.be/w22haP4hgsQ?si=vPw4-18Xp7Ci9Mis)” by Claude François, Bowie wrote English lyrics for this song “Even a Fool Learns to Love (https://genius.com/David-bowie-even-a-fool-learns-to-love-lyrics)”, but Bowie didn’t like it and the publisher he worked for didn’t like it either, so English lyrics were later written by another dude - Paul Anka. And this song became the famous “My way (https://youtu.be/qQzdAsjWGPg?si=8PCya_GdjyTuk_Ha)” by Frank Sinatra. Later, Bowie listened to it on the radio and wanted to create his own version. So, he created Life on Mars? which is my sort of, you know, revenge trip on My Way Absolute G.O.A.T and legend Kooks — It feels like a balm for the soul, such a nice and warm song, so relaxed, a little cheerful and just personal about his son. Quicksand — so philosophical and deep, great song. I really need to relisten to it more. I’m frightened by the total goal Drawing to the ragged hole And I ain’t got the power anymore No I ain’t got the power anymore Fill Your Heart — It’s not original, it’s a cover of Biff Rose’s song. Easy, positive, nice Andy Warhol — It’s nice trolling song, but not for my playlist. Song for Bob Dylan — It’s very fun to listen how Bowie imitates Dylan’s style hahahaha and it’s great. Also not in my playlist, but it’s really wonderful. Queen Bitch — Glam Rooooock, fuck yeaaah, it already feels like the next album. The Bewlay Brothers — it’s so mysterious, psychedelic and a personal song. Fantastic This is a moment, when Bowie finally finds his voice before becoming Ziggy. The previous three albums are also great for me, as a fan, but there wasn’t so much bangers and hits just in one album. But this is a different one, when Bowie is still Bowie, but already in his Prime! 5/5 —————————————— Liked: — Changes — Oh! You Pretty Things — Life on Mars? — Kooks — Quicksand — Fill You Heart — Queen Bitch — The Bewlay Brothers

Good album honestly, interesting and fun listen. Did take away a track, now curious to hear more from him.

What a silly, sweet man.

bowie prima dell’era del travestimento, primitivo e puerile scrive i testi coi pastelli colorati e le melodie su uno xilofono di legno. bewlay brothers dev’essere stata scritta pochi minuti prima di addormentarsi perché suona come quando—ancora da mezzo sveglio—spiritelli onirici escono allo scoperto da sotto al cuscino e ti s’intrufolano nell’orecchio. è tutto molto innocente e circense perfino.. l’ultimo giorno del terzo anno di liceo ho comprato questo cd alla galleria del disco. l’anno prima avevo preso unknown pleasures dei joy division, episodio che denota un considerevole abbassamento di depressione adolescenziale e segna l’avvento della camicia da uomo performativa nel mio vestiario come un oroscopo musicale. quell’anno il sole era in dandy e venere retrograda.

good stuff. not his best one, but very enjoyable.

This was an odd album, then again it's David Bowie. I never liked his thing production sound in the early years and this one is no different. None of the songs stood out. Each song was either piano or acoustic guitar without much else going on. Pretty boring and bland. I'm sure they r well written songs, just don't catch my attention

Love David Bowie's music. Great first alblum but not his best. But still a 4. Great listen. Changes is one of my favorite songs.

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.

Pretty good! I liked a good chunk of this, particularly in the beginning but some stuff later too (Andy Warhol is funny, Bewlay Brothers is good, and several others are still enjoyable listens)

Absolutely no notes. Glam perfection. Nobody ever did it quite like Bowie did.

I know Bowie has 9 albums on this list, and I know he’s obviously a popular and important artist. Of the five I’ve heard so far, I feel like I can safely say that his music just does not do it for me. I guess it’s his voice and overall style of music because I did enjoy certain elements, like the great piano playing. I am praying that the Ziggy Stardust can lift my opinion of him when we get there, but since that was released the year after this one, I’m growing less hopeful. Of the songs I knew already, Changes and Life on Mars? certainly aren’t my favorite Bowie songs. Andy Warhol was dreadful. Most of the songs either were ok or I straight up didn’t like. Blah. Sorry.

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

Going to do something I don't usually do and rate this slightly higher than I think it deserves as an album on the strength of the singles. It definitely slackens in the middle, but his command of the piano is amazing throughout.

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.

4.6/10

Nice album, only really heard "Changes" before. Obviously, Bowie is an icon but other than the first song, nothing really stood out.

A classic

I've always thought I hated David Bowie. I was right.

Virkelig godt! Mangler liiidt ekstra kreativitet, som Bowies senere, for at vi ryger helt op på 5, men han er jo bare fantastisk i alle aspekter ligeneget hvad 😍

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

I was pretty disappointed by this album. The last album I heard from him (The Next Day) was a really impressive and exciting album for me, and this just kinda wasn't. I wasn't impressed by anything except Changes, which I already knew was good. I think it's probably a little overrated, but it is a showcase of potential, if nothing else. Favorites: Changes, Song for Bob Dylan

Fav was kooks

Classic, love Quicksand

Bowie, moja wielka miłość. Pierwsza połowa płyty to mocno 9/10, ale później gdzieś wytraca na impecie, staje się rozmyta, nie do końca potrafi dociągnąć to co zaczęła. Gubi moją uwagę. W efekcie kończy na mocnym 8/10

10/10, innit

Classic

I actually listened to Hunky Dory right before I started my 1001 Albums Generator project and quite liked it. I've yet to listen to everything by Bowie, but from all of the albums that I've listened to, I think Hunky Dory might actually be my favourite one. Not sure if I would say that everything on it is great, but rather everything is good with individual standouts like Changes or Life on Mars.

Wow

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

Probably not the best David Bowie album, but I enjoy listening to this so much. Just so fun. It has some of his best work (Life on Mars, Changes), although some songs are a bit more weak. And Quicksand is a seriously underrated track.

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.

An interesting listen. Definitely not my preferred genre, but I see why Bowie is held in such high regard.

Timeless

Tracks 1 -4: Damn David Bowie had the sauce Track 5: 60s pop slop :(

This is such a good album!!! Probably one of Bowie's best!

Approachable Bowie, while still being quirky. The music is dynamic and BIG. Catchy hooks.

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

Andy Warhol :)

Ten album zasługuje na 4.5 ale nie da się wstawić takiej oceny

One of the best albums by one of the best artists. Quicksand is such an underheard song and has such depth. Life on Mars? has such a unique sound. Changes is such an easily popular song in how easy it is to listen to while not being simple. This review is much worse than the album; give it a listen.

There are too many albums on this list. Many of them don't live up to what an album should really be. This is an Album, not just a playlist of songs. Each song is an event, with time and care invested in the outcome. They are distinct from one another, yet sonically form a united whole in the final product. Quicksand was the stand out track for me that may get overlooked.

Amazing album. Intimate yet powerful, the production is so good it feels like you're in the same room. All the songs are beautifully written and performed with no weak tracks. Absolute banger.

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

Best Bowie so far, I LOVE Life on Mars

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!!!

This is where David Bowie truly started to come into his own as a songwriter.

Some songs are great, but not all of them are my cup of coffee.

was a good listen but got distracted

I was gonna say this feels like a space themed Bob Dylan album, but then i heard Andy Warhol and that kinda broke that immersion. Anyways this is another bunch of songs form David, they're really hopeful and gleeful. 8/10

Potentially my favorite of Bowie's albums. Not quite as "dancy" as Young Americans, but more of a rock vibe. I proffer again that Bowie is not a great singer (in that I don't think he has a great voice), but he is a phenomenal artist and musician. Has great instincts for when and where to be different.

Start was good and then it went meh

What a genuine pleasure when an album has three mega hits AND the rest of the album could have been hits too. Bowie is probably the genius that everyone has always said he is. Everything on here is a banger, he even faked me out with Andy Warhol, weird start into one of if not the coolest riff on the album. Obsessed with this album, easy 5.

This dude fucks so hard. First time listen, loved it. I want to own a copy of this record, it's so good and plays so well. Changes alone warrants an entry in Dimery's list but that's just the starting point. Holy shit is Mr Brightside pre-chorus ripping Queen Bitch? Truly a singular artist, no one has had the creative career of David Bowie. I can't wait for the next one 5/5

It’s Bowie!

OK, starts good but slopes off

Actually enjoyed it. Changes is a little too cliche from its overuse in movies and stuff, but the album is fun, musical, and cohesive. Would listen again.

Big enjoy

Creative, original, wild, captivating. Bowie.

..

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.

Although Life on Mars is my favorite song on the album, I prefer my Bowie with guitar rather than piano. Give me the main acoustic riff from Andy Warhol or the electrics on Queen Bitch any day

Look out, you rock'n'rollers

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

70'ler rock sıkıcı geliyor moruk

Obvs a good ‘un

Brilliant album. Packed with classics. Original, influential, class.

Perfect. Really high quality, the ones I knew and the ones I didn't (for some reason I'd only ever really thought I'd listened to side 1, but side 2 had quality to spare. Turns out I've had Queen Bitch in my head for years without knowing it!

This is the third Bowie album I’ve listened to so far, and I’m really loving his stuff. This album’s a near 5, but I just wish it wasn’t so front heavy and it kept the momentum going all the way through. Otherwise, it’s still a very solid album, and I’m excited to listen to more from him.

Brilliant. Under rated album of Bowie’s, especially by myself. Greatly enjoyed. 9/10

#7 Please no more 60s and 70s...

Start of the soundtrack to the 70s!

This is among Bowie's best, in my opinion. Or at least this is the Bowie I like best. This and his Berlin phase.

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

enjoyed

What can you say about David Bowie. The man can bend time and space with his voice. Every song on here is a banger. Standouts are Changes, Life on Mars and the Bellway Brothers.

The album is good, but it may be time for me to admit to myself that I'm just not a huge Bowie fan. Most of his music doesn't do a lot for me.

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.

Bowie’s gets one step closer to making a masterpiece. Favs: Changes Oh! You Pretty Things Life On Mars Queen Bitch Least Favs: Kooks

This sounds like if they let the King George character from Hamilton have an entire album.
