I loved that one.

I'll wait for the next thread before discussing my issue with Heroes.

I'm fine with that and could go either way. As I understand it, he sometimes re-interpreted songs live, so it could be interesting. But it's really a question of whether you guys see them as filler or actually interesting in their own right.

My favorite :) "A new career in a new town" and "subterraneans" are among my fav Bowie tracks overall.

5/5

I'll give this one a 4/5. Almost as good as "Station to Station" but not quite there in my book. I think it might be the way the drums were mixed on side 1 that keeps it from being a 5/5 for me. Every song is good, no covers, Brian Eno lends a hand and Iggy Pop even makes an appearance as a back-up singer on ""What in the World."
This is the best album of Bowie's "Berlin Trilogy."

^I actually really like how the percussion is produced. The sort of loose and messy sound of the snare drum in particular is one of the most unique elements of the album's sound imo.

Ah, the chameleon is back with his Berlin Trilogy. I guess I'll get ripped by joining Psy-Fi with my 4 rating and I won't be as crazy as some you guys are, I suspect, with Heroes.


Of course, this is a very good album and I practically wore the grooves out when I first got this. I didn't know the instrumentals were originally for the Man Who Fell To Earth so that explains some things. It was the instrumentals that brought the album down a little for me. It did make the album a bit inconsistent. But the best tracks rate right up there with the Ziggy period. Favorite songs are What in the World and Sound and Vision (yeah, the hits; so sue me)

8/10 (The Word has spoken :D)

This album competes for the GOAT in my eyes. Love everything about it. For the past ~5 years when someone asks me what my all-time favorite album is I tell them this.

So obviously 5/5

I think only Subterraneans was for the film. Not all of the instrumentals were.

I don't think the album is inconsistent either, side 2 is very different to side 1 but that doesn't make it inconsistent.
