Ok, all artsy people or people that think they "know music" all rave about the "angular songs" and how the "instruments are claustrophobically close together" (what the ?????), all I know is that this CD is an AWSOME listening experience. I like every single song on this one.  Definately one of Bowie's best albums (together with Scary Monsters, Station to Station, and if the sun is shining also Outside).  Check out some of the ambiant tracks, doesn't it remind you guys of Madonna's Ray of Light CD?  Geniouses inspire each other I suppose. But I digress...
