I bought this album having only heard "1984", and what a great album it turned out to be. This here is Bowie in his glam freakish deca-dance period, so you can imagine that the music sounds just like that, weird but glamorous. The only flaw I find is that the notes for "Sweet thing" are a little bit overstretched but thats not really an issue because it still makes a great song. Buy this and once you put it in your player make sure you have the volume down for the part after the intro, because it will blast your ears.
