| 2.5 average | Tom93M | July 25th 11 | Ultimately, it's far too odd and curio-worthy to be recommendable to all but devoted Bowiephiles, nor is it an ideal starting point for neophytes - it's uniqueness serving as a poor representation of Bowie's defining sound. Having said that, for those that do wish to venture into this naiive, youthful incarnation of David Bowie, there's enough substance here to pick apart and devour for long enough to seem just about worthwhile, even if it does come in the unfamiliar flavour of whimsical folk-pop.r

| 2.0 poor | nmorton | May 26th 18 | This debut album lacks energy and creativity. There are albums where the songs thematically and structurally are very similar but all stand out amongst each other (The Band's 1969 eponymous album is my primary example). But in "David Bowie" the songs are all essentially the same (the only one I could differentiate is the one with the sitar on it).

| 2.0 poor | Robbit | December 12th 16 | David Bowie's disappointing debut album is a collection of folk-pop whimsy that's a bit too half baked and silly to take very seriously. His lyrics for "We Are Hungry Men" are at least eyebrow raising and reminiscent of the approach that Scott Walker would later adopt with his own take on Baroque pop. The single "Love You 'Til Tuesday" is catchy, but just a bit too twee my taste. Hardcore fans might find some amusement in beholding this odd phase of David's career, but for me it's just an odd anomaly that shouldn't be regarded as a serious starting point for his career. Bowie's true artistic vision would begin with SPACE ODDITY and become a bit more focused on THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD.
