Falling is easy; but no one tells you how to fall out of love. I didn’t know where to begin.

"Dead Against It" is a delight -- love the twin guitar action.

Excellent album from my second fav Bowie era, but I have no idea what my favourite is.

Am actually tempted to vote for "Sex and the Church" for its simple but effective loping house groove and phased chants - the day to "Pallas Athena"'s night (actually in 'rock' terms it kinda reminds me of "Body Language", similar sorta campy jazzy figersnapping dance shuffle, or something like that anyway)

It's a tough one and well worth a deep dive. Thanks for this poll; encouraged me to play it again and pay extra attention to the individual tracks.

the day to "Pallas Athena"'s night

I like that comparison.

The Mysteries would not have sounded out of place on Low or Heroes. Bleed Like A Craze, Dad might as well have been on Outside; South Horizon is even more of a bridge between Black Tie/White Noise and Outside. Untitled No 1 is wonderful.

Always loved Strangers When We Meet, but it slightly comes across as an amazing inbetween single that was tagged on not one but two albums, fitting in nicely with either but still feeling like it's not entirely a part of the whole.

I think it's mostly between Mysteries and Untitled for me, where I might have a slight preference for Mysteries but Untitled sounds more like a representative of this record and its time.

just voting for the title track here which I love; I think I prefer the Outside version of Strangers very slightly. But this whole album is great.

This is one of my favorite Bowie albums. I voted Untitled No. 1 for that dreamy, blissed-out vibe. I can't think of a lot of songs that sound like that one.
