This is the last David Bowie album on the List, although he does produce a few in years to come. I feel like we are dealing with a completely different person every time Bowie comes out with something, so I don't really feel like I am saying goodbye to anyone in particular. Goodbye weird Andy Warhol-esque, cone-headed Space Man. Apparently, you start to kind of suck after this.
Everyone has probably heard the song "Heroes". I was unaware, however, that it was the story of two lovers who come together near the Berlin Wall. It has been played over and over again in advertisements, but somehow people don't seem to consider Bowie to be as much as a sell out as say, Fleetwood Mac? Anyway, it is a great song and it is featured in one of my favorite musicals, Moulin Rouge.
The rest of the album is mostly made up of instrumental tracks. They were enjoyable, but as we all know and hate about me at this point, I am a lyric person myself. Still, a solid farewell to the Human Chameleon.
RATING: 3/5
Loved this album and loved the song Heroes. Not as good as previous albums but he is still Bowie, and I like him.
