Negative Positive
Title: Not for casual listening
Review: While I know this isn't Bowie's catchiest album, for me it is emotionally, the one that has the most meaning. I know at the time he put this out he said he was trying to make music for his generation instead of trying to cater to the usual pop main stream. It is an album who's lyrics are filled with thoughtful ambiguity. The musical style is quiet and ponderous, for the most part, supporting the same in the lyrics.Without going too far into my own personal reasons for loving this album so much, I will say it is what I put in my cd player when I need to find my way out of a mental crisis. The lyrics are always giving me new meanings and as I grow older (I first bought this when it came out--which was my first year of college) I find myself coming closer and closer to the material that Bowie presented.This was my first David Bowie album and I've never regretted owning this.
Is the review positive or negative?
