David Bowie The Singles Collection
An excellent anthology spanning several decades of one of popular music's most influential, revered and prolifically progressive artists. This album is an absolute requirement for even the most casual of Bowie fans, and anyone looking to start delving into his quite extensive catalog of releases would be wise to give this record a few spins first as many of Bowie's albums can be totally hit or miss. Roughly all of the classic tracks exist here, showcasing Mr. Bowie's masterful ability to continually reinvent himself stylistically, seamlessly blending and creating a multitude of genres in the ways that only Ziggy Stardust himself can do so perfectly. Perfect for new and casual Bowie fans and a great listening experience easily enjoyed played in its entirety.

Bumping this to a 5 because it's great and also in comparison to the most recent garbage put out by Skinner, it's just *that* much better

Bumping this from a 4.5 to a 5. Screw it. I really want another Vultures album, John Paul Jones is getting old as hell and it looks to me like Grohl is growing a bit stagnant/tired with Foo Fighters. Homme is always a wildcard but it would be nice to get some new material from one of the best super groups to ever put it down on wax (or digital tape, whatever you prefer). This album rocks so god damn hard. rBTW, if you haven?t seen it, YouTube has a video from I think NME or the official ?Lollapalooza? channel that has a clip from a few weeks ago of a WHITE HAIRED Josh Homme complete with a white blonde goatee - looking sexy AF and I?m a straight guy - doing a solo acoustic cover of ?Spinning in Daffodils? from this record. Fantastic.

If it weren't for maybe 1 or 2 tracks that should've been cut or re-done to be made a little harder and
retain the raw edge of the "Cut and Thrust of Clear Thinking" (EP), this one would be a "5", at least for me.
Luckily they have one of the best vocalists of any band in this genre, sadly the backing band is just nowhere
near as talented as he (Brien Worsham) is. I'd love to see him working with some other musicians on
something crazy because he's really an unrecognized talent going to waste. This album is still great
though, Weekend Warriors laughably pales in comparison in both intensity and integrity. Can hardly even
believe it's the work of the same band.

Editing to up this to a 4.5. This album has been on constant rotation for me since it came
out. It's so fucking good. Can't believe no one has reviewed this yet, I will have to write
an embarrassing, poorly-written attempt at a review later I guess to try and get this some more
attention.

Giving this a hard 4 so far - this is easily their best work since Ignore the Ignorant, and though it is also catchy as hell like that album was (albeit not as catchy as Men's Needs...) this benefits from being a more concise group of tracks. A nice blend of their older, more upbeat punk sounds with the newer vocal style. Might have to write an actual review on this one.

Hadn't even known that this was coming out, but was quite pleasantly surprised when I saw this pop up in my Apple Music feed and gave it a spin. Maybe it's because of how I've been finding myself listening to music lately - i.e. a lot more frequently over speakers, in the background during extended marathon work sessions versus much more intently with headphones on - but I enjoyed this album enough to bump it from 3 to 3.5.rIt's not "OK Computer" obviously, but it's not trying to be either...and I'm cool with that.
