Love the first side of this album, and it's huge influence on the industrial genre even more than that, but the boring second side keeps it from going into the top 100 for me. Definitely top 150 material, though.

My 2nd favorite of his (next to "Heroes"). Speed of Life and Sound and Vision are two of my favorite songs.

My favorite of his and imo, easily his best. The first side is a great combination of rock and electric/experimentation and the second half is even greater, with some of the best instrumentals I've ever heard. "A New Career in a New Town" and 'Warszawa" are among his best songs.

Damn, were opposites, I find the first side a little hit and miss, but adore the second side...
subterranean and weeping wall are my favourites

I like this album...but, to me, albums like The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, Hunky Dory, and Diamond Dogs are all much more listenable and addictive. I appreciate Low...I just don't find myself listening to it as much as those aforementioned albums.

Overall, I think Bowie is one of the most overrated artists of all-time. Low and Heroes are the best of an otherwise mediocre canon.
