Very strong LP, not as hard-hitting as other of Bowie's albums.

A handful of extremely poignant cuts that explore complex feelings with nuance and depth. It unfortunately falls flat in some instances, maybe by trying to take the slow and progressive approach one time too many.

The first Muse record I've listened front to back and is still, to this day, my favorite just above Origin of Symmetry. I was walking in the middle of the street and had to find somewhere to sit to truly enjoy what was happening in my headphones. Such beauty and interesting songs, Muse just makes you wonder how they manage to make their instruments sound like they do. Pure brillancy.

Great live record all things considered. There are some intrinsically weaker songs in the setlist but the live performances elevate them to a likable enough state. Supremacy and Panic Station are a very strong beginning duo and I can't help but have a soft spot for this rendition of Madness and it's soul-elevating climax.
