For some reason, this is the album that helps keep my grounded, reminds me of what I want for the long-term. I find myself especially wanting to listen to this after a) bad drug experience or b) I'm going for a run (go figure).
But yeah, by far Bowie's best.

So far my favourite from Bowie. I still need to look forward to Station to Station and "Heroes" but Low is his best with Hunky Dory close behind. Not a big Ziggy fan though.

The second half of this album just blows me away. The rest... I never got past "meh" with the opening tracks, but it's still one of his better albums, IMO.

The Matrix.
And the synthesis of everything before.
Fucking masterpiece.

I'm mostly indifferent to this album, not overly fond of it but it isn't bad. I find most of Bowie's albums to be at least somewhat overrated, and this isn't one of my favorites of his.

Might be my favorite album of the 1970s. I absolutely love the opening tracks but have some gripes with a track like Art Decade. It may work as an extension to Warszawa but on it's own it is pretty uninteresting. Aside from that I find the ambient tracks to be better written and more complex than those on "Heroes".
