  • I enjoy his first album - I think he was still developing his own personality then (apparently he took quite large inspiration from Syd Barrett in the 60s, which I can hear in it), but it makes it very grounded. We all start somewhere. "There is A Happy Land" encapsulates this well, telling a sort of universal childhood experience.

    I will say Hunky Dory feels similar to me, especially with how casual the lesser mentioned songs are, like "The Bewlay Brothers", where you can hear him taking a drag of his cigarette.
