"If this record would have been released by anyone else but David Bowie it would get more respect. I admit it is a little long and some of the tracks could have been eliminated. You can't help but compare it to his classic albums but hey it's better than anything the Stones have released in the la..." [+] Reply

An absolutely wonderful collection of melancholy pop, arranged and produced in stylish manner (Bashung had listened to Portishead a lot and hired Utley for guitar works).

"Its a really solid album through and through. It just sounds much much more assured and beautiful than his debut a year before. The songs are consistently gorgeous and topical yet timeless. In songs like "That's What I Want To Hear" its amazing cuz the concerns aren't dated at all. And his tribut..." [+] Reply
