1001 Albums Summary

Not a huge piano rock person. The performances shine through that bias, and some of Elton John's best performances are here. I probably won't revisit, but is still worth your time.

This record is fun! The grooves hold up to a modern ear, and, because of the album's length, it is extremely accessible! Domino's vocals are smooth. The trumpets are deliberate and mixed well. The piano and percussion work is also beautifully simple. Overall, a very enjoyable, relaxing glimpse into the 50s.

I wish I enjoyed the vocals more... I am going to keep trying! Everything else was absolutely phenomenal; great music for getting work done. I love the dark atmosphere of the lyrics and production!

I LOVE THIS ALBUM! Bowie is one of the reasons why I enjoy music so much, and why I was able to expand my taste during my teenage years. This album does so many things for me. Life on Mars? BANGER! Andy Warhol? BANGER! Changes? BANGER! You get the point by now. To me, this is essential. Bowie's build-ups to the choruses on this album are unbeaten.
