Only Bowie album that really speaks to me. The rest feels like a circus to me. This has music that doesn't feel like it is trying to hard to be different. I am not a Bowie fan, so please understand that...

Arguably the most underrated Bowie album. Ronson and Visconti both excel in their roles while Bowie's songwriting has grown immensely since his first two records.

Un bel rock di chitarre, e una canzone all'eternità.
A nice rock guitar, and a song of eternity.

Is it just me, or did Nirvana cover the title track better?

The title track is the cornerstone to a fine glam rock album.

Really cool dark glam. It doesn't work most of the time but the aesthetics of it are grand and a sign of good things to come.
