The Next Day - David Bowie

[wbailey7]

Anyone listened to it yet? I'm loving most of the songs. It's definitely one of the better albums to come out in a few years.

Here are the first two singles:

David Bowie - The Stars (Are Out Tonight) - YouTube (song starts at 1:52)

Where Are They Now - YouTube

I love Bowie's old stuff and listen to it often. Everything since the mid 80s is hit and miss IMO. I liked the The Stars but Where Are They Now was very drab.

I pretty much agree with this completely. Luckily, most of the other stuff on the new album is like The Stars, IMO.

Guess there aren't many Bowie fans on here.

Love Bowie - haven't checked out the new yet but Ziggy Stardust and Scary Monsters are my favorites; 2 VERY differnent albums.

I always lump Bowie with David Byrne and Andrew Dice Clay (seriously). All three were way ahead of their time.

Gave it a listen using my third Rdio free trial. I was pretty good but didn't knocky socks off either. My buddy summed it up when he said its good background music.
