To be completely honest, I've never really gotten into Bowie. I'm not sure why though, every time a bowie song comes on the radio I really like it, but I've never bought a bowie album despite them always being on my list of albums to check out.
That being said, This single has really got me mesmerized, I would like this song no matter who was singing it, It's just a great song to me. Particularly that chord change that comes when he says "Walking the dead". Very subtle, yet so captivating. I'll make a note to make this my first Bowie album, There is something different about listing to a contemporary album as apposed to the 30 or 40 year old albums that make up the majority of my collection, and It'll be interesting to start here. |

No surprise to anyone that I'm a Bowie fan; but one of things I admired about him was his ability to know when to get off the stage.

I think the single is good, too.
As for the cover art, there's no way that's the actual cover. But I think the square-over-the-face might be a theme, because that was on his website too...but over a different picture. I'll say it again...I LOVE DAVID BOWIE!! |

According to Tony Visconti, it's more of a "rock" album than the single would have believe. I'm quite relieved. Reality had some pretty awesome rock songs for a fiftysomething guy, so I'm hoping for some awesome rock songs by a sixtysomething guy now.

The single wasn't very happy, was it? About as cheerful as the movie "Brazil"!
 Still, I sense the brilliance. I only wish Bob Fripp would collaborate with Bowie again! They have many life experiences that they could share. Best of wishes to David, and good health!

The single was decent. I actually have this gut feeling that this is going to be one of those epic introspective and somber albums musicians always release when they're older.

I like the single...a lot, actually. Can't wait for the album. I know in my heart of hearts that he won't tour, but I'm praying that a "selection of shows" a la Phil Collins will pop up. :p

My gut tells me it's gonna be a disaster. The album and the single.

It's a win-win situation. Either it's a joke and the real cover will be revealed later, in which case it's hilarious, or it's the actual cover, in which case it's actually even more hilarious.

Wow, I thought his musical career was over for good. The song is a bit dull, similar to the stuff on Hours, just with better production. The video is brilliant though. I'm not expecting much from the album, but who knows? Maybe it's good.

Best musical news in a long, long time - although I don't believe it's going to be a cheerful album.
