Negative Positive
Title: The old style, refined
Review: With Heathen, Bowie brings a knowing, polished maturity to his late 60's to mid 70's style. At this point, his subtle sophistication has become quite powerful. Of course, with his maturity, we will find a lack of driving energy or flamboyant risk taking. This is a mature rocker showing why he's a master. This album will get zero airplay on commercial radio. But for dedicated Bowie fans, many of whom are almost as old as Bowie, I think most will feel Bowie has reached his pinnacle with this album.
