I've never seen how or why Bowie fans have been so Harsh about "Hours..." in my honest opinion it, it was his "return to form" album, after the average "Outside" & "Earthling", "Hours..." was stripped down, and back to basics, gone were all the electronic industrial beats, just leaving us with Bowie and his guitar, it's admitadly not as good as 2002's "Heathen", but "Hours..." is very accessable, any one of the tracks to could be singles stand out tracks are "Survive", Thursday's Child", "Seven", and "All The Pretty Things Are Going to Hell" I also Love "Brilliant Adventure" it's an instrumental, this album is generally easy listening apart from ATPTAGTH

This is undoubtedly the best album I've heard in years. Bowie was my idol in the early 70's - Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust & Diamond Dogs are still my favourites of all time.
'hours' is a total tribute to early Bowie and all Bowie fans who are around 40 years old should add this CD to their collection.

If sobriety really is the death of the muse, it may explain the awful slide of the man who was once the worlds greatest songwriter.
OK, so even David doesn't have a clue what great songs like The Bewlay Brothers is about, but Queen Bitch and Five Years must be hard to beat.
So here is a comeback of sorts. This and Heathen add nicely to the catalogue and whilst the reason that comes with maturity and the afformentioned sobriety have sulled creativity a little, this is a huge leap back from the dark days of Tin Machine.

the great overlooked album
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,... Read more

Lacking Substance
This is few people's favourite Bowie album and, to be fair, it's difficult to defend in places. Bowie and Reeves Gabrels were working on a soundtrack to a video game (The Nomad... Read more

Not a fan in general.
I can honestly say I only really bought this as the music was on the Nomad soul game,to be honest it's really good anyway,that's from someone whose been into the more extreme end... 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

Bowie's easy listening album
Hours is one of Bowie's most 'mainstream' albums, although I'd only say it's mainstream by Bowie's standards. Read more

Great album but poor packaging
I purchased this album along with the Earthling double disc and Outside double disc re-issues last week. Read more

Middle of the road...
is probably the best way to sum up this album. It's not bad exactly, all the tracks are listenable and competant, it's just that the album sort of passes by without making any kind... Read more

I believe what my mother said ...
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. Read more

Oh, my God!
I owned them all except 'Hours'. Why was this? Well, the reviews were generally bad, then I saw this on Amazon for £3.97. I was missing a hell of a lot. Read more
