Negative Positive
Title: Extremely disappointing
Review: There was a time when I would purchase any new David Bowie album without hearing a single track from it beforehand. This is the album that broke me of that habit. :-( Having been a fan (at this particular point in time) for 25 years, that's rather sad. "Outside" was one of the most disappointing albums I've ever heard. Bowie's venture into industrial metal should never have taken place. Despite the fact that 9-Inch Nails would have no career without the influence of David Bowie, the reciprocal situation does not work so well. I really only liked one track, a revamped "Strangers When We Meet" (originally recorded for "The Buddha of Suburbia" soundtrack). Even the most die-hard of Bowie fans (such as myself) might find this album not up to David's usual par.
Is the review positive or negative?
