Pros:
Undeniably timeless, memorable and iconic, sporting an endless supply of incredible hooks, melodies and choruses
Creates a wonderfully intriguing atmosphere, bouncing between high-energy rock'n'roll and more soulful elements
Instrumentation is surprisingly diverse and inspired, utilising everything from orchestral strings to boisterous brass inclusions to bizarre synth sections
Cons:
Vocal delivery and production are both constant annoyances, leaning into Bowie's worst tendencies
Can be fairly inconsistent across its runtime, with some tracks dropping in quality quite noticeably
Best: Moonage Daydream
Worst: Star
7/10 He sure did play guitar
