"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

"Fashionable to bash (even though I didn't think Phil really lost it until But Seriously when he got too AC) but if you were there in 1985, you know you owned a copy. And there are some solid tracks here even if Sussudio wasn't a career highlight." Reply
