LowDavid Bowie

Rated 10/10

On 170/1089, I got my second Bowie album (first one 23, Young Americans)! This was my second listen to Low
This album is really different from the others that I have heard from Bowie, it is really relaxing, an escape with lots of instrumentals going on. It's just so fascinating how much different music this man was capable off

5/5

Standout track: speed of life

Rated 8/10

Amazing
Best tracks: La femme d'argent, All I Need, Kelly Watch the Stars

0/5. Not supporting his inclusion

The album is a 6/10, but I am a bit biased with rating it due to current events. If he got his shit back together (which I hope he can), might even be a 7-8/10.

Rated 8/10

WOW! I remember a few years ago listening to Blur via their self titled album because I was in my grungephase and really liked Song 2... not knowing that it was them mocking grunge. Because of that dissapointment, I didn't really listen to them for a few years. Until today ... this album is incredible! Britpop at its best!

Best tracks: Girls&Boys, End of a Century, Bank Holiday

Amazing intro with hello
Really like the album until about "Million Years Ago", that's where the tracks become a bit too much for me

4/5

Standouts: Hello, I Miss You, Water Under the Bridge
No's (2.5s): Remedy, All I Ask and Sweetest Devotion

Respect the fact that he went through vinyl records and created nearly this entire record from those samples. However, after a song or two I was checking if I wasn't shuffling the album accidentally because of how random it felt. 2/5 for the effort

As Paul McCartney said, you can't both sing and play the trumpet at the same time

I liked the first side/song/whatever more than the second, nice for on the background but that's about it.

The Day That Music Died. I can see how this album is important for music and a significant release. In August 2026, nearly 70 years after its release, it doesn't hold up as well. These are 12 songs that I vibe with, but not songs that I would put on every day. Being aware of it is import though.

3/5, shame we couldn't see how he would have turned out.
