This has always been a weird album for me, because although I like Bowie a lot, it's not my preferred style of Bowie and probably my least favorite of the Berlin trilogy. It's also one of those albums where my appreciation of it sort of outweighs my enjoyment of it. If I were solely grading it on impact, influence, and importance, it'd be an easy 5, but if I totally ignored that, it's much lower (no pun intended). The first side has always been a bit easier for me to grab onto, and I do think songs like "Sound And Vision", "Always Crashing the Same Car" and "Breaking Glass" are pretty cool. The second side is a bit tougher for me, but I do think it's pretty, if not totally my thing. 4 stars.
