Low (album) by David Bowie

Great album!

Bowie was a genius, this album was so revolutionary. Amazing record

Basically genius. Should really be credited to Bowie and Eno, as the 2nd side is mind blowing. However the first is full of classics too. I never get tired of it.

Moody. Melancholic. Melodic.

I respect the ambition, but those ambient tracks aren't for me. They're not bad, just bore me a bit. The first 6 tracks are pretty darn good however. Heroes did this concept a little better than Low in my opinion

Bowie's most underrated, and possibly best album. I remember listening to this album on repeat when I first purchased it, it's simply that good.
Strongest tracks: 'Sound And Vision', 'Be My Wife', 'A New Career In A New Town'.
Weakest track: 'Weeping Wall'.

One of the most barren and fragmented albums of all time, and also one of the best. It may not contain any real classic Bowie hits, but it's his masterpiece; a complete vision told in fragmented poetry and ambient instrumentals. Listening to it is like inhabiting a foreign world he and Eno created.

David took a lot of risks releasing an album at his popularity where over half the songs were instrumental, but it paid off.

I cannot fathom why this album is rated as high as it is. It's good but a bit poppy on side 1 and a bit melancholy on side 2. I can think of seven or eight other Bowie albums that I prefer.

What it is that brings me back to Low, especially so strongly over the apparently more favorite Heroes, I don't know. I just know that again and again, this album seems to click with me on an entirely new level, more consistently than most any other. Though I don't believe it has even been my #1, it has rarely, if ever, left my top 25. And upon listening to it again, like I am doing now, it often shoots back up to the top ten, or even five, as it has done now. Despite being a twin, Low is a masterpiece entirely alone in its field.

95/100 (Superb)
