Title: You've Just Let Me Down
Product review: It is actually very sad to see the most creative and inovative musician since the Beatles pander to the mainstream is such an undignified fashion. Despite that there are more decent tunes on this than on the earlier "Tonight": "Time Will Crawl" is one of his strongest cuts from the eighties; the Lennon-esque title track is simply a great pop song; and "Glass Spider" seems to be a return to form, harking back to the opening track of the fantastic "Diamond Dogs" album. Aside from these three tracks, however, the rest of the album is a pretty dispensable affair. The first half manages to keep itself above water, but the second half is blandness personifies - eighties pop at its worst. The bonus tracks on the re-issue make the album slightly more worthwhile. Although "Girls" and "Julie" aren't much cop, "When The Wind Blows" is a criminally underrated Bowie song. So, on the whole, the album isn't much good but the decent tracks would've made a great EP.
