Station to Station and Low are head and shoulders above the rest production wise yeah



His aughts material also sounds great imo but thats kinda apples and oranges

The vocals sound empty? I think 5 Years is one of his most impressive songs vocally

it wouldn't be a good song vocally if the production was shit; i'm saying i think the production suits it perfectly. i could see making a case for the prod not being amazing on space oddity or to some degree hunky dory much more than ziggy.



edit: didn't see ur whole post at first, this phone is dogshit

no way lol. i like this album but it's a bit on the lower end, despite having some of his best songs (there's noticeably a lot more filler on this as opposed to say diamond dogs oe hunky dory... and also it's nowhere near his darkest, if that's where the mm comparison comes in).

But like, 8 of 10 solid tracks in there. This never gelled for me as an album, but I should revisit - calibre is gud

Let's Spend the Night Together defs has a throwaway feel to it, but I like it as a moment of levity on this tracklist and it hardly overstays its welcome

It is time for Diamond Dogs I think?

that was the first Earl Slick album iirc so maybe that figures? tentatively hyped lfg

ed. i tell a lie - bowie played the leads himself? think Slick joined his band on the tour and stuck around up to Station to Station
