1001 Albums Summary

What an absolutely amazing album. When it came out, I was a teenager obsessed with Bowie - this album coming out right as he passed away made me put off listening to it for 10 years. I knew it was sad, I knew it will be very emotional and I guess I just never found the courage to face the fact of one of the greatest artist to ever live, passing. That said, I'm thankful that it was included here and made me listen to it. It definitely was everything I thought it could be and so much more. David Bowie is not a controversy seeking (or just being himself) artist anymore here - he's an older man who has seen everything and shares what that everything gave him. You can't expect his voice to be so high, raspy, crazy as it was on the earlier stages of his career, but it doesn't have to be. He's soothing, he lures you into his world and, I'm sure, a visit there will change yours with every listen.
