have already heard, it’s the beatles what do u think, it’s brilliant
very heavy,
in the end, crawling good songs
too much screaming in it for me
The Ecstasy of Gold - Classic song
The Call of Ktulu - Has some nutty guitar solos
Master of Puppets - One of Metallica’s best songs
Of Wolf and Man - Pretty decent, not sure how much the orchestra help
The Thing That Should Not Be - Love the drums in this, again not huge on the orchestra
Fuel - Enjoyed the song, again not sure how different it would be without orchestra
The Memory Remains - Decent song again
No Leaf Clover -
.
funky i like
an odd mix of genres but thouroughly enjoyed
enjoyed very much

Bowie created Low after months of crippling drug addiction and bad management in LA. He moved back to Europe (Berlin) and created Low in his attempt to break out of his addiction and express himself as himself. Bowie sells his ego on Low and creates himself a new one.
1) Speed of Life - Instrumental opener, brilliant guitar, lovely synths
2) Breaking Glass - If David Byrne and Jimi Hendrix had a child and he made a song, brilliant guitar riffs again
3) What in the World - Strange arcade like sounds in the background throughout, not the hugest fan
4) Sound and Vision - 10/10 song, incredible from start to finish
5) Always Crashing in the Same Car - Simplistic song, but very Bowie and pretty enjoyable, vocals very monotone for majority of song
6) Be My Wife - Recognise it from the off, love the bassline, build up to chorus is terrific, very very enjoyable song
7) A New Career in a New Town - Nice use of harmonica at start of song, another instrumental song, preferred Speed of Life
8) Warszawa - Much darker sounding than rest of album, not a song I would listen to alone, works well with the album
9) Art Decade - Instrumental again, believe this half of album is all instrumental
10) Weeping Wall - Instrumental again, Bowie plays every instrument, only time this happens on Low, written about the divide in Berlin and those on the communist east side of the city
11) Subterraneans - Instrumental
Rating: 9/10
Debut studio album from Oasis released in 1994, spurred a revival in British pop music and is considered as one of the most influential albums for the ‘Britpop’ music of the 90s. Only Oasis album to feature all 5 members.

4) Up in the Sky - Brilliant vocal performance from Liam, quite an underrated song from the album
5) Columbia - Simple song, brilliant singing with Liam and Noel on chorus
6) Supersonic - Incredible guitars throughout
7) Bring it on Down - Such a strong song, one of my favourite Oasis songs
8) Cigarettes & Alcohol - Brilliant T-Rex sample, one of Oasis’ best songs, classic
9) Digsy’s Dinner - Underrated song, lasaaaagnnnaaa
10) Slide Away - Classic, again another hit
11) Married with Children - Another very good song, busker classic

10) Tonight Will Be Fine - In a relationship that where he knows he can no longer love the other person, but wishes to spend one. more night with them.
Review: I can see why it’s a good album, lyrically in particular. But for personal enjoyment, I can’t see myself ever going back and listening to it again, nor can I see myself listening to any song from it again. Poor replay value for me personally. However, with that being said it is still a very well put together album and was an enjoyable listen.

One of the best live albums ever, king of soul. What a voice!

Good grunge/rock album, only a few songs I’d listen to again, not too much for me.
