Bowie’s best ever vocals on title track. Ending track Fame (with Lennon on vocals) also very familiar but never heard album in its entirety before. Had no idea Bowie covered All Across The Universe, albeit nowhere near as good as The Beatles. Great album, cool as always. Bit short.
Very 80s, very very Sting. Of its time. Not awful but I think you had to be there. Song with Kate Bush was decent despite being about suicide. He’s got a much better voice than I realised.
The sort of tunes that appear in a Tarantino film. El Paso is the best track here (and appeared in Breaking Bad) but all the songs have merit. Great example of why this site is so valuable. I wouldn’t have listened to this album in a million years otherwise. Very much of its time but great stories in each song. Enjoyed it.
Tony hawks PlayStation is what this brings to mind for me. Understand that this album is culturally significant and still referenced in popular culture to this day but just not my thing. Appreciate I’m in the minority because this regularly appears in Top 100 album lists. I don’t believe the hype boyeeee
Funky as hell. If only hip hop followed this route throughout the 90s. Joyful and laid back. Songs about worrying about high cholesterol and eating enchiladas rather than any criminal activity. I’m no connoisseur of the genre but for a debut this sounds confident and assured. Enjoyed it far more than I expected it to.
One of the best albums of all time. How they made this while relationships in the band were falling apart is a mystery. Fa purity track changes almost daily. No filler whatsoever. Essential.
