Happy New Year!!!
Going into the new year strong. I was having a happy new year until I listened to Earthmover. Shit ruined my mood. Anyways, this is a good album, and the sheer atmosphere that this has is astounding. I still think I need a few more listens to truly get this album though.
Best Song - Earthmover (10)
I think this album is a little overrated. It's still a good album, and it starts off incredibly strong with Hunter, Joga, and Bachelorette. However I think it starts to drag towards the middle before ending with All Is Full Of Love, which I actually really liked. It's a good album, but I would pick Vespertine over this album 9 times out of 10.
Best Song - Joga (10)
This is so peak. Bowie puts everything he has into this album and the result is some of the most emotional and theatrical music ever made. And to think that this isn't even Bowie's creative peak.
Best Song - Starman (10)
This shit slaps. For me, this is the east coast equivalent of Straight Outta Compton, but with slightly more kung fu and karate stuff.
Best Song - C.R.E.A.M. (10)
For a genre I don't really listen to often, this was a good jazz album. It's an album that I'll need to listen to more than once though. My only criticism is that most of the songs are built on the same intro, but the way they become unique for each song is something that I really like.
Best Song - Track C - Group Dancers (9)
