1001 Albums Summary

It's a solid, albeit it not my favorite, entry in Bowie's catalogue. I understand it's historical and contextual importance, but I think it's more interesting the way that he embraces 70s funk/R&B pastiche in a high camp way while celebrating it, similar to Todd Haynes movies.

Some really beautiful music on this album but it’s bloated. It’s fifteen minutes too long but I don’t even know where to start with cutting tracks to make that happen. As good as it is, it still wears out its welcome for me. Beautiful music, though.
