The power of his guitar..." Reply

"This is definitely one of Bowie's best work, brilliant album. Every single song is great, really strong. After this album Bowie's singing style change forever, he learned how to use this deeper voice and this high falsetto (in a soulful way). Should be higher rated, up there in the top 5, at leas..."

"This album is perfect. It's fun, it's raw, it's 6 virtuosos coming together as young men and how blessed they were to be friends with each other and enjoy the spring of talent that was just beginning to flow from each of them." Reply
