But actually this album is super good. The opener has a great guitar solo, the last 2 are both great, and the middle is also there.

I'm not saying the middle is bad (definitely isn't), just it doesn't compare to anything at the beginning or end. But it still has some good stuff like After All and She Shook Me Cold.

But this album is actually a pretty good Bowie album, and one you should DEFINITELY HEAR

NEED TO HEAR RATING: DEFINITELY HEAR

Best song: The Man Who Sold The World
Worst song: Running Gun Blues
Underrated: The Supermen

A classic I've heard so many times I don't know what to say about tunes as familiar as my most intimate surroundings. Every guitar lick, every word sung with equal parts nasal and gravel, every sexcapade with a gay devil, every desire to escape the inescapable sadness of a cruel world, every spoken, whispered word, every comic, haunting recorder phrase, every secret ball where subverted old songs are played for the painted revelers, every step taken in the mad parade, every reminder of the horrors of war, every dystopian vision of ease, every face-to-face confrontation with the part of yourself that has no idea what it's doing.
