This album has never received the attention it deserved - even from fans of Bowie's other work. By some distance it's his strongest album since Scary Monsters, and it bears comparison with career heights like Heroes and Low. The secret of its success is his absolute commitment to doing what he wants, however strange and inaccessible - as the spoken interludes, which arguably contribute valuably to the album's atmosphere, indicate more clearly than anything else. This risk-taking approach has always characterised his best work. It helps him to succeed in creating an intensity of mood that has eluded him on other recent albums. There are many fine individual tracks, 'Thru these archiects' eyes' perhaps being the most stunning, possessing that strange unidentifiable power that marks out his greatest songs.

This album has all the things I have always liked about Bowie - creativity (oh boy oh boy!), the dark side, emotions beyond bobbing chirpily and lines that make your brain go sideways. I have had this in my car for a year now, playing it constantly and it just gets better and better, more and more to be discovered both about the music and the words. Not everybodies cup of tea, for sure, but it sure is mine.

This is a brilliant album - truly! You will, however, need to listen to it a good number of times to fully understand and appreciate why. At first listen it seemed a mess of random noises interspersed with annoying and immature vocal segways. Now, albeit after 20 or so listens, it has evolved into a complete and complex work of genius. "The motel" is a greater song then the classic "Time". "No control, "The voyeur of utter destruction" and "I'm deranged" are brilliant songs that would all get into my top 10 of Bowie's best ever work. Bionic harmonics!

The music is outside
At the time it was his best album since Scary Monsters. It has since been topped by two more albums. Some bad tracks. Some good tracks. It's that simple. Read more

This is up there with Low, Hunky Dory, Station to Station, and all the rest. One of his best ever, prehaps his best solo record. Read more
