Bowie's twenty fifth studio album....
thought he'd disappeared after this one then a decade later
he came out with the brilliant "the next day" album, which believe me,
took a long time for me to like...
this one has all of Bowie's trademark sounds on it, similar to "lodger" in places...
a track that's sounds a bit funky and another with a jazzy feel...
two covers on here....
"Pablo Picasso" which was originally recorded by punk band Modern Lovers in the early 1970s,
but ive never heard that one so to me Bowie's version is original...
the other cover is George Harrison's "try some, buy some" which appeared on his "living in the material world"
album...I don't have that album and have never heard it, so again, Bowie's version is the only one I know, and
it also happens to be my favourite on the album...
songs tend to blend into each other on this one...
all up, one of my favourite albums of his...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
worst track: the loneliest guy
best track: try some, buy some
