I wish I liked Bowie more because I love him as a personality and a overall creative. Like most of the music I've heard from him (which isn't much, to be fair!) I thought this was pretty boring. The more somber songs like ' Shadow Man ', ' Silly Boy Blue ', ' Toy (Your Turn To Drive) ' are my favorites, and everything else feels amateurish.. BUT! I feel like that's the point reading into what this was supposed to be on the Wikipedia and such, it just didn't stick the landing for me personally. I however can appreciate how effortlessly ahead of the time Bowie was even without trying (since this was going to be the first surprise album pretty much.).
