Decent, playful record. Can't say any one song stuck out as impressive, but it was good enough to want to come back to.

Sounds more like a return to classic Bowie, which is probably what he needed to do after his less successful material from the previous 15 years, but I definitely prefer the more experimental Blackstar. Still, he needed to make this first and it does sound delightfully modern, even a decade on. Not one of Bowie’s best, but I’m glad we have it. B
Good album. I'm not sure it stands as tall as the classics, but it could grow on me. I also hear the beginnings of Black Star in there and I'm into it. 3.75/5
