Totally disagree with the prevailing opinion in this thread that this is somehow lesser Bowie. I love its slippery faux-oppulence, there's something quite candid and quasi-sleazy about the way Bowie takes in sounds of Black American popular music of the time but reshapes them into something thin and loose, as though Philadelphia International got hooked on heroin. I love that squealing, rubbery sax, and those times he leans on his breathy falsetto, not to mention the Greek chorus backing vocals that set the tone throughout.


This. I LOVE it.
