Awesome review as ever. I'll definitely be giving some time to what Bowie I have when you're done with these.

Thanks, Sonicspeed500 and AliW1993.



Just written 'Outside' review. It's a chunky one, but no-one's reviewed it here yet so it could do with a decent analysis.

your reviews about the more flighty Bowie albums make me want to listen to them truthfully.

Yet another great review Tom, really liking the imagery you used here. It's also nice to know that Bowie was human and did take awhile for his genius to return; maybe there's hope for other artists still!

Why did he decide to try and do Let's Dance#2? #1 was bad enough as it was without an unsuccessful re-run. This is a godawful album with one gem; the single "Jump they say". That whole suited, quiffed, soul boy look also was seriously dated by 92; no wonder it bombed in the states.

I can't think of anything good to say about this album (bar the single) except that it meant there would be no more Tin Machine.

I'm kind of annoyed that I can't seem to remember anything about this album... except that it was kind of ballyhooed at Bowie's return to "Let's Dance" form. It even had Nile Rodgers back as producer, right? I do find it kind of amazing that as impossibly good David Bowie's music was during the 1970s, he, to me, just seemed to drop out of the radar after 1983. I never even got around to buying a copy of "Tonight"... strange, in hindsight, but his music just stopped being of interest to me suddenly. Bowie seemed to stop trying to get my interest, and so I stopped trying to get interested, I reckon.

A very underrated and intriguing album. It has a unique classy/foreboding atmosphere, elevating it above his more popular '90s and aughts releases.

I don't see why people say this is "Lets Dance part 2" when the album is more of an electronic-jazz and soul style, rather than a rock/pop dance album that Lets Dance was. if anything it feels more along the lines of a modern Young Americans

Man what a mixed bag this album is. Some really great jazzy stuff mixed with bland and kitschy 90's pop.

"The Wedding" opener is beautiful. "Nite Flights/Pallas Athena/Looking For Lester", fun jazz ones, that's about it for me, one of the most uneven album ever. The closer "The Wedding Song" save it, nice 2.3/5

If Jump they Say was saved for Earthling that would be the best Bowie album hands down.

Jump they say and dead man walking I love so much.

Even the title track, Strangers When We Meet and Untitled No. 1 from Buddha of Suburbia are all like top 20 bowie songs, 90s bowie is so underrated in general.
