first time ive played this since the end of '16 or early '17 giving the emotion and hype
surrounding his death to subside...
a couple of loves, likes and dislikes last time I posted it...
album contains a lot of jazz sounds, traditional, progressive and slightly avant-garde in places...
my favourite track could almost have fitted nicely onto my favourite album "lodger" (allbeit without the f-bombs he
drops on it)…
Im sold on it containing the best lyrics of his career, with the majority being about death and the acceptance
of death, he is a man letting the world know he is about to die and no one, not one reviewer picked up on it at
the time (such is the genius of Davie Bowie), I guess the critics thought the chameleon of rock was once again
shedding his image once again...
and the videos for the title track and Lazerus are possibly two of the greatest music videos of all time!
not sure if ironic is the right word but its ironic that whilst the ink was still wet from the pens of the reviews of the
album his obituary was being penned by the same people...
I know Bowie mapped out his career every inch of the way but surely he couldn't have planned this release and his death
to a 48hr period....or could he???
I love half the tracks on this album, like two others and dislike the remaining two so I guess...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM
favourite track:
are the lyrics in this song nonsense or avant-garde? (oops sorry, avant-garde and nonsense are the same thing to me!)
