Dog Man StarSuede

Rated 8/10

Even if I own the original CD, I had not listened to this in many years. This is one of the great things of this project. Very good album. Bowie's influence is clear...and that's always good. Great songs: We are the pigs, heroine, the wild ones, new generation... This may have got 5 stars if two or three songs had been scrapped.

This is pretty good. High energy music. I like it. This is not really and album but a compilation. The songs I enjoyed the most are probably "Untutored youth" and the instrumental one: "The Hives are law, You're crime". In any case, the more I listened to it, the more I like it. And, by the way, this stuff must be great in concert.

It reminds me a bit of early Dylan or acoustic Springsteen. Very good storytelling. Good album with a bunch of very good protest songs.

I'm not a blues expert, but you can easily tell this is a solid blues album. If you hate blues, you're gonna hate it. If you love blues, you're probably gonna love it. If you have any interest for music in general, you should be able to at least enjoy it. I don't see how anyone with a minimun interest can rate this with less than 3 stars.

Direct and varied songs. I really liked it. Of course, the songs Nirvana covered are among the best ones. I also enjoyed the instrumental Aurora Borealis. 4 stars after just one listen.

Very good album. I had never listened to Arcade Fire but I really enjoyed this album. This is definitely between 4 and 5 stars. I love the concept of the album and the way how songs relate to each other. Month of May. The Suburbs, Sprawls (I and II), Half Light...great songs. It is probably a bit too long for my personal taste. With a couple less songs, this may have reached 5 stars.

Very good album. Great guitar and drumming sound. After a few listens, this is at least 4 stars (may even reach 5 if I keep listening). Some favourites: "Here", "Summer Babe", "Trigger Cut", "In the mouth of a desert", "Zurich is stained", "Loretta's scars", "Jackals...", or "Singers". Plenty of good stuff.

Solid album. I was doubting between 3 and 4 stars. But the last two songs (Life's a Gas and Rip off) make this a 4-star album for me. Apart from those, I really enjoyed Cosmic Dancer and Get it on.
After listening again, this is not between 3 and 4. This is actually a solid 4.

Good album. Solid compositions and production. Nothing terribly exciting, but not every album needs to be a revolution. Sit and relax...

Another great album by Bowie. The only song I don't love happens to be the Rolling Stones' cover (and it's still pretty good). And some songs are real classics.

First krautrock experience. Very interesting. I really liked it. It's nice to learn and discover different things.

Great album. Plenty of classics: Dead Flowers, Brown Sugar, Wild Horses, Can't you hear me knocking, Bitch, Sway... a couple of not so great tracks, but still a top album.

Not a hip-hop buff, but worth the listen. I found it pretty repetitive (especially lyrically). I guess this may have been pretty provocative, but I found it kind of boring.

No doubt, these are good musicians. The sound is really original (I particularly enjoyed side 2" "Sly" and "Vein Melter"). Not my favourite style, but I enjoyed it.

Elegant, polished, professional, cilean...very good album. Josie, although "less experimental" than other tracks, is probably my favourite track (today)
