DAVID BOWIE

David Bowie has been one of the most indispensable figures in the entire rock scene, and I was expecting something at least decent when listening to the first album, but I was a bit disappointed.

Not to throw out hate for the sake of it, and gratuitously so. I just felt like I was listening to any commercial album typical of these "60s beach bands" (this is not a reference to The Beach Boys, I like them a lot).

Obviously, we can't compare this early Bowie work with his later projects in the 70s. Finding such a pop sound and so "cliché", to use an adequate term, it is logical that it doesn't sound like "Ziggy Stardust".

Personally, I wouldn't recommend this album for any prog lover, but in itself, it's a good listen, this and others, to get a hint of the beginnings of these rock stars.

2/10, 1 star. What can I say? a little disappointed.
