Oh shit, it's already released? Bowie doesn't screw around.
I quite liked the Lazarus song they launched a few days ago as part of the announcement. It was kind of dark, and somewhat like his Heathen era.
I'll grab the album and will report back after a couple of listens.

I'm a Bowie neophyte -- I actually just grabbed the 2CD "Best of Bowie" a week ago and am loving it. I have "Young Americans" and really only liked the lead track (though I absolutely love that song), so I held off on exploring his work further, but this hits collection is just incredible -- one irresistible song after another, many of which I've known for years without ever placing. I plan on going back to "Young Americans" once I've had my fill of the comp.
Recommend me some albums, RM.

I've never really listened to him either, but I like this. Feels a little short though, but thats just me probably.

The Next Day album reminds me of Nick Cage. Good stuff.

Nick Cage, the guy from the "National Treasure" movies?

You couldn't have picked a worse album to start off with. "Young Americans" is by far his weakest album from the 70's and is still somewhere near the bottom on my all-time list.Kevin Davis wrote:I'm a Bowie neophyte -- I actually just grabbed the 2CD "Best of Bowie" a week ago and am loving it.

For that era, check out: The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars and Hunky Dory.
There's no single definitive album for Bowie. He has had so many eras and styles.
For his more recent albums, Reality is worth a few listens. Give it a chance, as it's a real grower. Heathen is pretty good too.
Then there's his 80's and 90's albums too. Best to take your time with this, or you'll overdose and won't get a chance to give each album a proper course of listening.

From touring perhaps. AFAIK he suffered a health scare (heart issue) during a concert about 10 years ago, so he's just making music when possible but not much else.Mecca wrote:i thought bowie retired a few years ago?
