Huge Bowie fan here, the album is shit. The first song Loving The Alien is actually great but the rest is basically cocktail lounge cover song slop
>>
Loving the Alien is a great song and also a great euphemism for wanking

OP here - 'Alien' indeed great, can't believe I haven't heard it before. 'Don't Look Down' - prefer Iggy's version. It's OK, not great. This cover of 'God Only Knows' is awful. Think I'll save the rest of the album for tomorrow.

It doesn't get much better, but you may think Blue Jean is alright
>>
Black Tie White Noise was pretty good, underrated

people go out of their way to shit on it or call it forgettable. while it's a lot more low energy than most bowie releases, that early 90s electronic sound he captures is sweet. kind of baggy sounding? not sure what you'd call the kind of music it is, but it's nice.

It's a good album, people just like playing contrarian for no reason
>>
>>131693353
it's not completely worthless. I like loving the alien, blue jean and neighborhood threat.
>>131696328
it's just too long. he should have cut like 3 songs
>>131696349
yeah I don't know. the title track is like funk pop and don't let me down and down is maybe contemporary R&B or pop soul, but I don't know what to call songs like "jump they say" and "night flights". I have both this album and earthling tagged as "alternative dance" on my computer but it really only fits earthling.

Cool album art wasted on a bad album. Many such cases.

I see BTWN as being Let's Dance 2, instead of fusing dance with blues/rnb it's with 90s electronica. Good album though
