Album Rating: 4.5

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

Album Rating: 4.5

what version are you listening to

2012 40th anniversary remaster sounds amazing

Album Rating: 4.0

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

Album Rating: 4.0

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

Album Rating: 4.5

space oddity above ziggy and hunky dory is interesting

Album Rating: 4.0

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).

t/t is craziness

yeah lol t/t and Time are absolutely bonkers

what about everybodys favorite, lady grinning soul, huh johnald?

best is Drive-In Saturday, classic Bowie tune

album is top 3 Bowie

she do be grinning
think that's defs top, but the runner up podium is crowded. top of my head would go

S: Lady Grining Soul
A: Watch That Man, Cracked Actor, Time(?)
????: t/t
B: Prettiest Star, Let's Spend the Night Together, Drive-in Saturday
C: Panic in Detroit
D: Jean Genie (most overrated Bowie track)

Jean Genie is definitely the worst you got that right

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

Why are there no Sparks threads on this site

Album Rating: 4.5

s: time

a: t/t, cracked actor, jean genie, lady grinning soul

b: drive in saturday, panic in detroit, prettiest star

c: lets spend the night together

d: watch that man

"let's spend the night" and "jean genie" are def my low points

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?

oh damn you aint heard diamond dogs?

scalding hot take here but thats probably where he really hit his stride, my fave bowie up til that point. the A-side is really excellent in particular

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
