Oh my god the Hours cover reminds me too much of boys band photo shoot that was from that era, in France this french boys band was MASSIVE and I mean look at it:

Doesn’t it look too similar?

It’s a shame because as I’ve posted it here Hours pose references a beautiful statue from Italy.

But yeah I hate the album either way, I don’t think I dislike it more than his first album? but god, he sure failed us all when he promised after Earthling and his famous 50th birthday show where he said he didn’t know where he was going from there on but promised us to not make us bored, but then proceeds to “bury” Earthling persona on Hours album cover as a tired Bowie only to bring us a big album of .. nothing.

There’s a whole thing to it attached to the game with David Cage tho we should expand in that.

I think I’m more keen on Reality art as I think it ages better .. this alternate is cool tho imo:

With the original photo

But either way it’s another album with covers, like I said usually those are the ones that are in majority the lesser exciting Bowie albums with the exception of Heathen

yea thats such a late 90s type of album cover and those colors tho lmfao

but yea hours was very forgettable i think i only listened to it once or twice in full.

that alternative reality cover is cool certainly better than the actual one, just don't like all white covers and how cartoonish it looks lmao

and in general i don't really mind the cover songs on his albums tbh
most of his albums got one or two so its fine with me.

Let’s see:

Albums without covers -
David Bowie
Space Oddity
The Man Who Sold The World
Diamond Dogs
Low
Heroes
Lodger
1. Outside
Earthling
Hours
The Next Day
Blackstar

Album with covers -
Hunky Dory
Ziggy Stardust
Aladdin Sane
Pin Ups
Young Americans
Station To Station
Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)
Let’s Dance
Tonight
Never Let Me Down
Tin Machine
Tin Machine 2
Black Tie White Noise
Heathen
Reality

So which run y’all take if you had to pick

Also @Cookies just found out Kingdom Come is a Tom Verlaine song

Fun fact the album cover with Bowie in a dress for The Man Who Sold The World is NOT the original album artwork!

This is how the first issue looked like:

Thank god for revisionism sometimes, huh

I’ve listened to all of his solo work but I never realized that lmao

Which one you like best

wtf

Of all goats Bowie sure is the one that has the most intriguing and obscure picks to cover, that’s so him tho

Words from the front yours?
And I’m surprised toms not much bigger because of that

He lowkey got that bag secured tho whew

No wonder Tom said Europeans have “much better ears” than Americans lol

He damn right we do

Best song on it

Album is so soulful

Title song is one of his most feel good, god bless

Icon

thats really impossible to pick tbh
but i guess the one with STS if i absolutely had to choose one, you know it being my fav album and also this has scary monsters which has my fav bowie song on it

still gonna miss out on low and heroes and all of that

Yeah it is pretty tight in hindsight

My favorite from Reality
