Believe it or not, I haven't listened to Station to Station before. Seeing that it was the only record Sheffield gave a ten in the Spin Alternative Record Guide tempted me, but reviewing this article is what's really going to push me to get around to it.

Comments

The new version was rehearsed at The Factory in Dublin with Mark Plati and Reeves Gabrels before the rest of the band arrived, before it was properly recorded at New York's Right Track Recordings between May and June 1997. Try to reword this sentence, mostly due to the repetition ("before ...before ...").

Picture sleeve is good. I'm not sure about the Dinah! screenshot though, which may fail WP:NFCC#8. There's a similar discussion regarding an image at "If Not for You"; the takeaway I have from there is that it isn't enough for an image to merely compliment the body text. To warrant inclusion, it needs to improve the reader's understanding beyond the body's text. The text in this article mentions Bowie's dancing and the first appearance of the Thin White Duke, but I'm not sure if the image really adds anything that the text doesn't.

Removed it as you're right it doesn't add much context – zmbro _(talk) 21:14, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio score of 49.5% from a website called Bowie Bible, entirely due to long quotations made by Bowie that are present on both pages. No concerns here.
Another great page, zmbro. I think this ended up being my favourite track on the album too. Other than the sentence mentioned above, I didn't find anything that couldn't be easily fixed as I made my way through the article. Tkbrett (✉) 21:09, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Tkbrett Thanks for reviewing. For me it's hard to choose a fav because all six tracks are straight bangers. – zmbro _(talk) 21:14, 25 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

lyrics

I propose deleting the current references to lyrical content. I invite editors to read the lyrics. How is Perone's interpretation defensible? We are not obliged to give space to a plain misreading. Spicemix (talk) 17:22, 21 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
