Hunky Dory [Remaster] by David Bowie

Pros: Excellent Masterpiece from David Bowie.
Cons: None.

Note: As a celebration of my one year anniversary at this website, I will review one of my favorite albums of all-time. David Bowie’s 1971 masterpiece “Hunky Dory”.

As the early 70s began, David Bowie already had a hit single with “Space...

Pros: One of Bowie's greatest sets of songs
Cons: None

After nearly a decade of recording, first doing absurd Vaudevillian numbers about gravediggers (with horrible head colds) and obnoxious little gnomes, later psychedelic folk (on "Space Oddity"), bombastic imitation prog, and proto-punk and metal (on "The...

Pros: well-varied, great songwriting, catchy songs
Cons: a few sticks in the mud (is that the correct way to use that?)

About 6 months ago, I didn't really know much about David Bowie. My dad was a fan of him back in the day, I read a few things about him in the Punk History Book, Please Kill Me, and I saw him on TV a few times (SNL), but didn't show too much ...

Pros: An outstanding classic
Cons: None that I can think of

Featuring classic songs and a surprising mix of styles, "Hunky Dory" was David Bowie's first really great album. What I love most about "Hunky Dory" is its way of displaying Bowie's personality. Who other than him could write a rock song about drag que ...

Pros: Bowie finds his self at a crossroads and heads down the right path
Cons: One could say that some songs sound a bit familiar to other ones

Pros: Great melodies. Great sound. Great everything!
Cons: "Eight Line Poem" is a meh-moment.

Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Pros: Great voice, Decent lyrics, Interesting instrumentals
Cons: Short, Somewhat less strong on the b-side.

Sometimes, there are albums that contain incredible songs that help to truly define a musical artist. It is inarguable that David Bowie is a truly amazing musical artist. He wrote almost all of his lyrics, played instruments, sang his lines and later ...

Pros: Great original music with some classic tracks.
Cons: A little dated.

Those myriad of record companies requiring immediate result and payback in these impatient days only need to look to David Bowie< b> for an example of their folly. For if David Bowie was an artist today on an one-release contract, he would ...

Pros: Some fine piano stylings from Bowie and Wakeman, plenty of brilliant pre-Ziggy tunes
Cons: Slightly inconsistent, flaws in production

Something of a love affair with the world of androgynous abandon, theatrical camp and cutesy old-school romance, the fourth studio album from Bowie delivered his bulkiest and most consistent set of material to date, and made for a nice transitive release ...
