Always loved this album, it's pretty intense.

Also, if anyone cares, I wrote an article awhile back about the title track on here.

Never could get into this one. I do enjoy the title track and it has other good moments, but overall I found it to be a huge disappointment after falling in love with Ziggy.

This, except replace "Ziggy" with "Hunky Dory".

Eh, it's my favorite Bowie album. My highlights include the title track, Time, The Prettiest Star and Lady Grinning Soul.

"The Prettiest Star" and "Drive-In Saturday" are absolutely fantastic. The rest... well, I try and try, but I just can't get into it!

Yikes. I just relistened to this last night and I take back my last comment. This is almost as good as Hunky Dory if not just as.
