DAVID BOWIE "heroes" cd, 1977
career stats:
studio albums........27
singles.................121
this album............#3 UK...#6 AU...#35 US
singles:
"heroes"........................#12 UK...#36 AU
"beauty and the beast"....#39 UK
album #12 from Mr.Bowie...
and the second in his 'Berlin Trilogy'....
Paul Weller was influenced by this one when he made "sonic kicks" and "saturns pattern"...
this album is so alternative I believe it would still be considered 'out there' if it was recorded today...
typical of Bowie from that period, lots of strange lyrics for the average artist, but the norm for him...
the music is typically Bowie, very uncommercial and definitely not radio friendly even by todays standards of pop radio stations...
so I can only imagine how this was received by the pop press back in the day...
the only thing that lets this one down as an album for me is the our instrumentals that really aren't music but sounds and that lets the album
down in the grading for me(but it does contain one of my top5 Bowie tracks) and that is why...
I DO NOT LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: Neukoln
best track: heroes
