3.5 great | TwigTW | January 13th 16 | On Space Oddity, Bowie takes the folk music of the 60s and launches it into a darker place: the 70s. Even though this album isn't a classic, it's an interesting listen and the beginning of an amazing voyage that will rocket Major Tom across the decades. It's a must-listen for Bowie fans, but probably not the best place begin exploring his catalogue. 3.3

3.0 good | Tom93M | July 26th 11 | Ultimately, Space Oddity is an album without great direction. It suffers from a lack of cohesion and is too inconsistent to be considered a classic. It has classic moments for sure, but they're sadly outweighed by the littering of weaker attempts at finding a niche for Bowie to grasp. On the one hand, Bowie's song writing had dramatically improved, but on the other he still hadn't found the right format to exploit his new-found adeptness. Space Oddity really hammers home the notion that Bowie works best when he expresses himself through a persona. It gives him a focus - a focus which he unfortunately lacked on this particular album, with its uncomfortable darting between cynical protests and feather-soft tales of lost love.

5.0 classic | JesusV4 | July 14th 10 | Was only Bowie's 2nd album, and the folk sound that he cultivated from listening to Syd Barrett's work to me still proves to be his best musically and lyrically. If you like psychadelia, this is for you, if you like folk, this for you, if you like Bowie, this is for you.

3.0 good | lz41 | July 2nd 21 | Boom, 'Space Oddity'. Boom, 'Letter to Hermione'. Bowie's first real album has its fair share of meandering, quasi-philosophical songs that very much mark the record as a late 60s one but the near-misses of 'Cygnet Committee' and 'Wild Eyed Boy' are nonetheless exciting to get lost in.

3.0 good | literallyzach | April 22nd 20 | very audacious and very overstuffed. bowie can't quite get his vision to resonate with his sound at this point but god bless him for trying -- we get a whole bunch of great cuts because of it. and also a lot of stuff i do not care about.

3.0 good | Nathaniel | January 13th 16 | The album's Good basically for one song, Space oddity. The rest of the album, while good, is mostly a forgettable experience, especially after the single classic.
