Title: Duped Again
Review: As with the Elvis Costello release earlier this year, I once again fell victim to the hype and rushed out to buy Bowie's new one. What a disappointment. I know it's almost sacreligious to denounce a Bowie effort, but I just don't see what all the excitement over Heathen is about. There's really not one tune on here that hops off like a "Diamond Dogs" or "Golden Years." In fact, the Bowie I hear on the radio these days is not Bowie from Heathen but rather Bowie from the early days. This cd is probably playing well with those grasping to hang on to their "Aren't I cool cuz I listen to Bowie" mentality that may have meant something in the 70s and early 80s, but it's over folks. Move on now. Bowie is washed up and Heathen proves it. Am I going to hell now?
Is the review positive or negative?
