See Full that's the exact opposite of my problem with this album. It's TOO easy to dictate which songs are god tier to me. Like Five Years, Soul Love, Moonage Daydream, Starman, and Rock N' Roll Suicide are all god-like, but that's only 5 tracks and nothing comes close to them. Lady Stardust, Star, Hang on to Yourself and Ziggy stardust are "pretty good", and It Ain't Easy and Suffragette City are just bad honestly. Would probably give this a 3.5 all things considered.

"It Ain't Easy" is pretty obviously the weakest song here to my ears tbh

Na I wouldn't call Lady Stardust, Star, Hang on to Yourself and Ziggy stardust "great" just pretty good. And ya Sufragette and Ain't Easy pretty much sucks. Ain't Easy is always so much louder than the rest of the album it hurts my ears.

You must be listening to a pretty shitty remaster and none of the songs on this suck. Ziggy Stardust is awesome, great riff and vocal performance by Bowie and such

It Ain't Easy is weakest. Then Star and Hang On to Yourself.



Album does dip a tiny fraction in the middle of the tracklist

"Doof u tryin to start a feud"

You'd have to A) Take Doof seriously and B) Take Doof's Music Opinions seriously in order to get that riled up over over his lack of taste. I recommend you do neither.

I probably agree with Doof on those being the bottom three, though It Ain't Easy is the only song I'd deem less than great.

It ain't easy just sounds sooo out of line with the rest of the album to me. It doesn't really seem to fit. Sounds really obnoxious and abrupt too. That might just be me, though.
