DAVID BOWIE DISCOGRAPHY REVIEW #23 - Neoclassicist Period pt.1: Swing and A Miss

It would seem all his creativity was expended on "Earthling", as this is a return to the overwhelming nothingness that I hoped he'd just clambered out of. He attempts a very basic rock energy here that is just uninspired. He seems to have phoned this in a little bit. "Seven" tries to play on his classics from way back then, but it does nothing for me. I don't feel any passion in this, and likely will never return again. I like "New Angels" a fair bit, though.

Simply put, this is a safe skip, it's Bowie making some fairly safe music with no real intent or drive. It has a one-up over "Never Let Me Down" by virtue of at least taking some creative liberties, but it's really not that much better.

Favourites: New Angels
