Alright, I love to meme about 'Wonderwall', but this album is much more profoundly beautiful than I thought the 'basic guitar song every guitarist knows' album would sound like. Shredding guitars and melancholic vocals. I dig it.

Like a hotel to stay the night on a road trip, it's alright. You're just staying there for one night and then you move on without a second thought, because most of it is standard fare that you're used to by now. 'Peace Frog' is quite nice though.

Is an album supposed to make you feel uncomfortable? Sure, if it's meant to be intentional - and seeing as this album was supposed to be for a hypothetical David Lynch movie, I can kind of relate.

Problem is that if you only have the soundtrack without the movie, it doesn't have the same effect that, say, the soundtrack of a blockbuster would have. Even if it was a brilliant movie, at most I'd say the music was 'meh'.

Fun, smooth, and just plain nice to listen to. I can imagine putting this on in the background while doing some woodworking or bear wrestling.

Rated 8/10

Just plain old good fun. No track on here was skippable, it was just damn good guitar right after another.

It's... decent. But I'm starting to grow tired of all the Bowie albums. I feel like there's only a few songs that truly stand the test of time.

Good lord, what a slog to get through. Carey's vocals are beautiful, but I've been in dry office meetings that were more energising than this album.

Rated 4/10

Quite alright, but I did find most of the stuff on here dated and not quite fun to listen to.

Lost SoulsDoves

Rated 6/10

A tranquil ensemble of ponderous songs that dragged on into a slug-like crawl. I loved the guitar work here but none of the songs had a lot of staying power.

Pleasant and relaxing to listen to, but aside from the cover of Close to You, nothing really stood out to me as worth revisiting.
