This album isn't really bad at all and has some great moments, but there's nothing that's really GREAT about this album.

44/100. Ugh. This is just so sterile and soulless. As a massive Bowie fan, this was just difficult to get through. While it certainly isn't terrible or grating, it lacks any sense of character and/or originality. Kinda just sounds like Bowie (poorly) cashing in on a trendy sound for an hour.

Well, I was brought back to an intense interest in David Bowie after almost 30 years by finally listening to The Next Day every day for about a month, and finding it expanding with each listen... and then starting a slow return of renewing what I loved in Bowie, which was almost everything he did from say Laughing Gnome to Let's Dance, and nothing afterward. I came acriss a couple of used copies of this one, and although I did buy it when it first was released in the early 1990s, I found I couldn't remember a thing about the sound of it, not one sound. So here I am, Bowie's not quite dead, great to have him back, but what was he thinking for year after year, decade after decade up to, say... Heathen? That's what I'm looking at, Citizen Kane style. :D

2.5 averageTom93M | August 11th 11

Black Tie White Noise is an odd mix of drum and bass, wonderful Lester Bowie jazz trumpet warbles, and a passing intrusion of guitar and piano. It?s certainly not the most memorable or enjoyable phase of Bowie?s work, but the set is incredibly more consistent and ambitious than anything he did post-Scary Monsters. A conistent and enjoyable set, but one that isn't likely to blow you away or make you reassess your choice for best Bowie album, but if you give the record a fair spin you'll get a instant hit of warmth, simply because Black Tie White Noise showed fans that David Bowie was not ready to give up yet.
