David's twentieth studio set....
and I bet youre surprised its here in hard rock/metal....right???
well,they call this one "industrial metal"....
I hear lots of similarities to Nine Inch Nails and Prodigy here, so I guess the experts are correct...
slated as his best offering since 1980's "scary monsters" according to the music writers...
so...
its heavy, really heavy guitar driven rock mixed with a lot of electronica here...
album still sounds fresh and new after all of these years, proving once again, that Bowie was years
ahead of his time once again...
up there with his best efforts IMO....
BTW...the video for the best track is weird to say the least, probably even outdoes "ashes to ashes"
in that respect!
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
worst track: telling lies
