The first David Bowie album I ever heard. It's rather hit and miss, but Up the Hill Backwards and Scary Monsters are both terrific tracks.

It's really not bad, for an 80s Bowie album.

Eh, I dont really like this one.
The production and the drum sounds are very cheesy, generic 80's sound.

I quite like it. Obviously it's hardly the greatest Bowie album, but it's pretty good nonetheless.

Fantastic stuff. That perfect balance between fun and eerie. Ashes To Ashes is obviously the key track but both parts of It's No Game, Up The Hill Backwards, Fashion, Kingdom Come and Because You're Young are brilliant too.

We actually agree on something Very Happy . I like this one a lot, never really groundbreaking or emotionally provocative but it's really just a superb mini-rock-opera, lots of great tracks that occasionally soar as well as some that fall flat, but taking the mostly great with the occasionally not-so-great numbers is a more than acceptable compromise

Geez, how did I forget Ashes to Ashes? A very powerful 1-2-3 punch there after the first track.
