I liked it when it was a bit more on the psychedelic, experimental side. Eight Miles High was my favorite.

Rated 8/10

So very 80's, it was a bit much at first, but it grew on me and I ended up quite enjoying it. So much synth, such a strange time in music.

I can see how this would not be everyone's cup of tea, but I really enjoy the ambient genre and this seems to be the start of it. I could have this playing in the background all day.

I really enjoyed this album. The variety of the singers voices really help keep things fresh. Good beats, good lyrics.

Rated 8/10

It is Bowie, it is always going to be good. But there wasn’t anything that really stood out to bring it all the way up to a five for me.

Solid 90's alternative rock. There was nothing bad on this album, but I listened to it a few times through and nothing sunk its teeth into me. I am struggling to recall a single song this morning. I wouldn't complain if this album was playing, but I am probably not going to be seeking it out.

Song 2 is a banger. The rest...it's ok.

Those first two tracks hit with a heavy dose of nostalgia and I was feeling that the vitriol for this album was overblown and undeserved. Then I heard the rest. Awful, just awful.

Any Major Dude Will Tell You this is a solid album. I was especially partial to Charlie Freak.

The Weight and Long Back Veil are both great. The rest is good 60's rock. Feels pretty laid back and easy going. Music for lounging more than activities, but I would definitely throw it on for sitting on a dock on a hot day.

A decent album. Doesn't pack the same punch as the Bends or OK Computer, but that might be nostalgia talking.

Feels a bit pretentious, but how could it not be with an album title like that. I am still digging the prog rock vibe, but this one was a little more repetitive and out there in spots. Started out as a solid four star, but was going to bump it down to 3 on the second listen. However, the 3rd time through brought me right back to 4. A real rollercoaster of emotions.

Some nice folky music. After listening to it a few times none of the songs stood out to me, but I like folky music so it gets a bump.

It's Queen. It's 5 stars. This is the first time I have listened to this whole album. I really like some of the odder tracks such as '39 and The Prophet's Song.
