There's not a lot to say about this - other than to argue if it or "What's Going On?" is better. I lean slightly to this.

Decent songs, good lyrics, superb delivery, but let down by some muddy production and unsophisticated arrangment.

I really wanted to like this more than I did. I don't mind the 80s production, and bits of it are excellent, but overall, it's just a bit average.

I'm sorry, I've tried and tried and tried, but... just no.

It's great, but it's not "Who's Next".

In general, I can take or leave the heavier end of rock - there are bits I like, but I find much frenetic or unmemorable. Having said that, this never felt difficult to listen to, and I enjoyed the time I spent with it.

I know it's mumbly miserable stuff... but I really enjoyed this. I don't think it's "great" but I'm more likely to listen to this again than many of the other things on this list.

This album is mad. Like, Teach Your Children Well and Our House are lovely little songs, but what are they doing on an album with Helpless, Almost Cut My Hair and Country Girl on? It's not dull though, and much of it is brilliant.

So, I don't hate this. It's fine. But I'm not on ecstasy, and as a result it's all a bit dull and background.

This was such a formative album for me, but at this distance, it rather recedes. The album cuts just aren't that good, and the production sounds a bit thin - it all isn't as good as Love over Gold and Making Movies.

I don't think this has ever been cool, or the zeitgeist. But sometimes you just want to hear songs.

Meh. It's third-rate Bowie and there are too many songs.

I'm sure this is good, but it's not for me.

This feels more historically important than enjoyable to listen to. It's really interesting proto-metal, but I got bored and tired by the end of the album.
