Negative Positive
Title: His best album in years...
Review: Meet the New Bowie, same as the old Bowie...sort of. Reading some of the comments on this page, it occurs to me that this is probably an album you can only FULLY appreciate if you're forty-something and have actually HAD the experience(s) of loss and regret (thankfully, not everything is about youth and its excesses, proving once again that middle-agers make the best rock'n'roll--sorry, kids). Tracks 1-7 are all excellent, more than could have been expected; the last 3 aren't as strong but grow on you with each listening. All in all, a very satisfying album from one of rock's vanguard artists.
Is the review positive or negative?
