Feels weird re-starting this journey with a very mixed album. Everyone knows Bowie and I was excited to see a familiar album title too. There is some interesting stuff here. The title track, Joe the Lion, and the instrumentals on Side 2 took me by surprise as I previously found them boring. Moss Garden in particular was dreamy. Weirdly, a lot of Side 1 was tough to listen. Really great guitar parts that I should like, but the production was shite. I get that maybe it's what the intention was meant to be, but it made a rough listen. Overall I can see why others may like this album, but I bet this is not the best of 8 albums of Bowie's on here.
I had a relaxing listen, not a bad song.
I then played it to my girlfriend who immediately laughed imagining Ross from Friends playing with his keyboard.
I then thought like "Shit, maybe I am too a neat guy".

Decent with a few standout tracks like Little Wing. I also realised a lot of songs sound the same.
Very good for background music. Very good for maybe jamming with your own instruments. On its own however, it's pretty forgetful and made me realise I have a limit with long instrumentals
The long songs on this were a fricking jam. I listened to the opening track 3 times. Some of CCR stuff can be repetitive, especially with their shorter boogie songs but a very decent listen.
Production was solid, rapping is fine, but I nearly fell asleep, feeling high and dry.
It wasn't much to remember, a lot to forget. This did not leave an impression in my head.
Definitely feels like going to a club, which of in the right headspace, the vibe's awesome, but when you're head's not in it, the club then becomes an annoying fly. Could use some editing though.
If this is music then butter doesn't spread.
Despite it being long, I can appreciate the creativity with nuggets of songs that I would be happy to listen too. Then again there's some overly long songs that do drag on.
"Oh John"... "Oh Yoko"... "Oh John"... "Oh Yoko"
I couldn't help but think of the similarities between this and Peter Gabriel. At times I can see where Blue Nile were going for, but overall it was such a bore
Kinda like 'Up'. Fantastic opening, great start to the story, and then the rest is okay, but doesn't live up to it's promising start. Justice for Dug
2nd week in a row with a CCR album. It's fine. Not particularly great. Just fine.
C'mon album generator, I just had 2 Creedence Cleerwater Revival albums in the span of 2 weeks, and now I have another Stevie Wonder one too. Please can I have more variety.
The aftermath of listening to this album had me rolling in fields of sheep, gently brushing the pastures, looking at the sunshine beaming over the hill. I then encountered a mystical creature which spoke in alarm sounds, then realising I slept into the next day.
