Negative Positive
Title: best of his recent work, which is garbage
Review: Several covers and return of Toni Visconti make Heathen a worthwhile listen. It is hard to believe anyone who has actually heard early Bowie, would claim this is 'as good or better'. Every release has people saying hes better than ever, but a year later no one is listening to the same record. His 70s and 80s work, remains influential to this day, though his body of work overall seems out of fashion at the moment.This is pop from a pop genius who long ago lost his muse and inspiration. What remains is servicable pop, and a few excellent tracks to discover among the mire. It is hard to say Bowie ever made a bad album, everything past lets dance, has been at best unimportant, at worst mediocre formula pop.
