The loudest, rockingest, poppest, Iggyest, spookiest, beautifulest, loudest, funkiest, bestest thing he ever ever ever did, yes?
I AM RIGHT, PEOPLE.
“Cracked Actor” into “Time” = the end of the world in drag
It’s all about this dude.
Oh and “Let’s Spend the Night Together” being the only Stones cover that surpasses the original. And sounding like it was made in 2013. Still.
“Lady Grinning Soul” = omgwtf piano ring ring ring last orders high and dry on the empty street with yr hangover ringing in yr ears and the greatest fuck of your life behind you everything finished everything
and for those reasons also the greatest James Bond theme ever ritten.
I love this record but it’s about the 4th best Bowie album
You’re entitled to your wrong opinion.
Naaaaaah.
Also, the facepaint sucked.
Your disdain pretty much strengthens my argument, dude.
Yes, my total lack of credibility does help your argument! But I assure you that the facepaint will cancel that out!
The guitar intro to “Cracked Actor” is a real marvel.
i think this record is probably the pre-low album I listen to the most. it’s pretty compact in that I don’t think any of th songs on it are filler. certainly the highpoint of the spiders band.
both Diamond Dogs & Young Americans are better
s’my fave bowie, no question
My fave Bowie as well. One of the fist LPs I bought (now 30+ years old). And a shout-out to Mick Garson, whose piano in the title cut chills me every time I hear it.
I used to have this on vinyl. I don’t anymore. So can I call the record delivery service and have it delivered on a bike to my home right now?
Its pleasing melodicsism of the album is mared by sloppy arrangements, particularly the out-of-tune sax of funs on “Drive Me Saturdays” and the title track would have been good and drive had it not been for someone letting the monkey into the studio to bang piano random throughout. If Rick Wakemen had been producer he never will allow it. Also “Lady Grinning Souls” is a poor ripoff of Hothouse Flowers.
you are a nutter
No you are the a nutter, for you fail to distinguish Gene the Genie from the Blockbusters that it copies to minimum avail.
Thankfully Bowie recovered from this career fall to return with a far more stronger set of songs on Pin Me Up. See Emily’s Plays is one of the finest songs he ever wrote.
drive-in saturday one of the best bowies.
Driving Saturdays is one of Bowies worse, worsted only by Hey DJ and Spatial Abnormalities.
“Panic In Detroit” is Bowie’s greatest concoction ever
The congas on “Panic in Detroit” alone.
