what a pity that this album rarely receives the credit it deserves. Often compared with Hunky Dory, for its musical style, but not given anything like the same positive reaction, this album deserves to be cherished on its own merits.
The music is mostly melodic songs, which are quite wistful in tone, including the quite superb tracks 'Dreaming my life Away, Seven, and Thursdays Child. My personal highlight 'Survive' is a memorable song which stands well within the catalogue of Bowie's best.
Sadly underrated - this album does not deserve to be overlooked. Well worth adding to your collection and playing over and over

I purchased this album along with the Earthling double disc and Outside double disc re-issues last week. This is a great album bonus disc is even better however as the title of my review suggests the packaging could be better. I have taken these discs out of the packaging twice and they are already scratched. I personally think these albums should have been re-issued in a standard 2 CD jewel case or a Digi Pack. So take note Columbia Records.

As the lyrics go in 'seven' - but if we had to believe what we read in these reviews we'd never trust our own judgements. I agree with the guy who said this will be a classic in years to come. Let's just get one thing straight about 'Hunky Dory'. That album was accepted by a largely cult following and it was ignored by the masses. Now, it is seen as an absolute classic, but only the superstar nature of Ziggy et al made the public look back and buy. The wheel has now gone full circle. Bowie has a cult status. His fans, and I'm his biggest, adore his music as it is now. Will he ever become a superstar again? No way. And I reckon that's fine by him. But on the day that Mr Bowie departs this world - god forbid when it happens - all the little people will get their first taste of what they should have bought years before. They will listen to 'Seven', 'Survive' and the other compostions on this work of art - and think, do you know, I believed what my mother said. She said he was past it. Don't always believe your mothers, as this man deserves to be canonised when he departs. 'Hours' is the work of a genius.

Often overlooked, but excellent album
Following the release of The Next Day, many have referenced Heathen and Reality, but very few mention Hours. For me, this is one of his better albums in recent years. Read more

It's been a long time for a full Bowie lp I can play from start to...
Wonderful. Beautiful. Lavish. Not since 1983's Let's Dance can I put on one of Bowie's lps and listen to it without jumping tracks or going off to do something less boring instead. Read more

One of his best
This is an underrated gem by Bowie and in my opinion is in his top 3. Some of these songs are absolute masterpieces such as "seven" or "survive" and my favorite "Th Dreamers". Read more

Slightly lack-lustre album - lots of bonus material for die-hards!
After the relative ferocity of "Outside" and "Earthling" everyone is entitled to a low-key, more chilled-out affair, to balance the books, so to speak. Read more
