Negative Positive
Title: For Diehards Only
Review: As a huge Bowie fan for years, I was a bit disappointed with this one. It has some high points, most notably, "Heart's Filthy Lesson" and Mike Garson's piano work, but the rest is largely uninspiring.A futuristic romp that is a bit too Eurotech to sink one's teeth into. I do like the lyric content; definitely proving that Bowie is still the maniacal master. His prolific, chaotic lyrics/dialog are, at the same time innocent, and diabolical.Overall, the musical accompaniment seemed rather contrived to me. I love the rich textures and harmonic dissonance of past Bowie/Eno collaborations, but I wish the stream of consciousness on this effort broke into coherent song more often.
Is the review positive or negative?
