His last album would be a masterpiece. Doesn't matter which one.

I like this one.

They're all too long of course.

According to Wikipedia this album was influenced by NIN.

Track 8 - I'm Afraid of Americans.

Art of Noise.

Trent Rezner! The thinking man's Marilyn Manson!

Vague Lou Reed vocal stylings.

I think you'll find that Joni is Canadian.

I was seriously messed up on drugs when this rubbish came out.

I'm glad I never listened to it then.

Track 9 - Law (Earthlings on Fire).

Last one, I think I usually skipped this one.

Sounding vaguely like trying-too-hard '90s Chris & Cosey.

I would say this given over 20 years of hindsight it's obviously more of the trad Bowie song with new fangled gibbins slapped on top.

But I thought that at the time.

If you want Bowie without the new fangled gubbins slapped on top Hours is that way.

But I wouldn't recommend it.

That was alright.

It is over.

That was a load of background music built upon songs that were devoid of feeling or inspiration.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

I shall give it 2 stars.

It is over.

I though it was alright, it was better than everything he did afterwards with the possible exception of Blackstar. Which I still Have't really listened to.  


★★★★

Given as 1:Outside was alright, does this mean 90s Bowie was better than 80s Bowie?
