"God, Brotherhood is so well-written that, yeah, the production is a bit muddy, but track-for-track, it's incredibly solid. Weirdly, the best and most famous song from the record "Bizarre Love Triangle" doesn't really fit, but who am I to argue with a great track?" Reply

"In my opinion, Heathen is the best Bowie album between Scary monsters and Blackstar. It includes some of Bowie's best writing for years and it doesn't sound like he's trying too hard either, like he does on Earthling and Outside. A fine album with some fine songs." Reply

"Creedence started out good and with each successive record (until Pendulum) they got a little bit better. This, thus, is one of their least good. Being this good at their worst is quite the feat." Reply

There are still good tracks to be found here especially on the re-issue version that I own and am r..." [+] Reply
