Or maybe Bowie didn't die, he simply saw how badly the world was going to go to shit this year so he hightailed it back to his home planet.

Bowie isn't dead. He just decided to permanently go back to the goblin kingdom and reclaim his throne as the goblin king

Even though that first comment of mine here was here accidentally, it applies for this album now, too.

Should I listen to this if I'm not that familiar with Bowie's earlier stuff?

you're more likely to like this if you're not familiar with him

Yeah you could but honestly I'd recommend listening to at least 3 of his older stuff before you do. Hunky Dory, Ziggy and Low/Heroes would be good ones to start with.

Lazarus? Bowie by numbers? What are you on?

So I should start with Ziggy?

Well, other than the usual suspects (Cat People, Let's Dance, Heroes, Mj. Tom) I had no experience with the slender prince. First album of his I heard was Blackstar and then this brilliant fucker went and died, smh.

"bowie by numbers songs like "dollar days" or "lazarus" will sound fresh" you sound like you just listened to Bowie when he died yourself

i was familiar with the whole bowie discography ~2 years before he died
