My favourite discovery so far. I only knew them from their singles. This album as a whole is such a trip. Donna Summer, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Barry Manilow, Barbra Streisand, Leonard Bernstein, Pink Floyd. They’re all in there but this is a complete original too. Big 5 from me
The title says it all. A genuine one-off talent.
Visionary stuff but not always easy to listen to!
Powerful even after all these years
Outstanding. A proper album with a beginning, middle and ending. Great to listen to it all the way through as intended. Great songwriting and a voice and musician to match.
Some great songs but it felt like there were quite a few ‘fillers’ too. All a bit too similar in tone and pace.
That was pure rock and roll filth! Such a dirty album. Totally loved it. And only thirty seven minutes too.
Nice enough to have on in the background while I was working, but not exactly memorable!
It’s seminal, it’s important, it’s influential. But is it any fun to listen to? Not so sure. I love the first track but it feels like a chore to listen to the whole thing in one sitting.
Yawn…
All a bit pompous and silly but kind of fun at the same time.
Great song writing, if just as stereotypically depressing as you’d expect.
Just awesome. Not his most famous work but full of life and energy.
Sweatier than a teenager’s gym socks. Raw and scruffy and full of life. I followed up by listening to their recent release which sounds sad and defeated in comparison.

It was okay.
Liked it a lot more than I thought I would. Not a massive Bowie fan but it was pretty good. Accessible and a decent listen.
1001 best album ever? Ever??
Big ‘Ross from Friends on his keyboard’ vibes from this one. Lots of self indulgent noodling. Didn’t do anything for me.
No.
Awesome. Had it playing on a cross country drive. I’d forgotten how many bangers there were on the album.
