This is the worst rap album ever made. Of all time, likely for as long as Kanye's team continues to be the only team soulless enough to release a project this ridden in auditory feces.
Let me start with the positive. Notice, positive, there's only one, and it's that some songs are *listenable*.

I'm not really sure if I can properly articulate how I feel about this album. Every song is short to the point of feeling like a rough draft and Bowie has such little presence on the album (hardly even being on half the album), with Low practically turning into an Eno project. Even so, the exact same things that would make this album feel like nothing more than scattered concepts end up coming together to turn Low into a delightfully macabre listen. Bowie was a broken man at the time of ... read more
