Low is a great album, but quite overrated by the hipster crowd.
I love David Bowie, he's one of my all time favorite musicians and I love many of his different musical periods. From his early psychedelic/prog stuff (Space Oddity) to his heavy rock (Man Who Sold the World) to his glam which I consider to be the prime of his career (Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane) to his plastic soul (Young Americans) to his drugged out experimentation (Station to Station, Low, Heroes) and even his 80s pop (Lets Dance).
But as with any prolific artist, there have been failures. Tin Machine is one of the worst abominations against mankind.
