Oof

Simultaneously the most overrated and underrated album I'm aware of

One of the first CDs I had in my car, it never left the rotation. Genre defining

Pretty nice - but never been a favourite

My favourite jazz record - absolutely incredible

One of Bowies best songs - and a largely great, albeit slightly inferior set up to Low

I found this relentlessly boring

Surprisingly enjoyable - their best - it's somewhere around a 3.5

I've always thought this is their weakest, but it's really a very capable collection of songs, albeit missing the highest highs of their other studio albums

Hatful of Hollow erasure unacceptable on the list btw

One of three albums I'd have expected Frank to have here, it's really good but best enjoyed in the evening with a stiff drink

A fine old album with bags of influence

I for one think Jason Zed would do well to display a little more humility

The greatest small jazz ensemble record

Only hearing this for the first time - a joy but too slapdash in places to be in the upper echelons

Ambivalent to this me

Is it controversial to suggest this is their best?

I just don't get it me, it's not offensive to my sensibilities, but it doesn't speak to me

Nice

Yeah, it's alright!

Bobs best, the sounds he explores in folk and to a certain extent, in American rock in 1965 are miles ahead of contemporaries - and Tom Wilson behind the mixing desk for some of that new York grit
