I'M NOT A GANG STARR

>Faux nostalgia
Not really at all, the sound on the album is very unique and different from his earlier work

>Because of his death
It had 85 on metacritic before he'd died. People dug it anyway, it just became even better in context.

have you fucking heard 'tis a pity?

different/unique ! = better

You're right. I love bowie just as much as you but didn't enjoy blackstar as much as his other albums on the first listen. I'm listening to it again and it certainly sounds better now.

I think I might have overreacted based on an initial impression. Sorry mates.

Well, unexpectedly unhostile response. Obviously being different doesn't make it better, I was just arguing against the faux-nostalgia point. It is brilliant though, I really think it's one of his best. And the lyrical content becomes very powerful post-death

94 REAL SHIT YA

I'm glad you like it anon. I really like bowie and his works and desu honest was quite worried about how his last album would add to his legacy.

I certainly like 'tis a pity' and 'blackstar' but am yet to decide on the others.

Out of curiosity: what other album from bowie do you recommend to someone who's already heard ziggy/heroes/low/diamonddogs ?

>>61979438
Well, I'd say Scary Monsters, Hunky Dory, Station to Station, Outside, and Heathen are all brilliant. Maybe go for Station to Station first, sort of funk tinged art rock. Hunky Dory is Bowie at his classic pop best. Scary Monsters has a great blend of Bowie's sounds and is very unique. Outside and Heathen are very strong later releases.

maybe you have to digest a bit the new sound. That said, when I first heard blackstar on youtube I thought it was shit, now I really like it (I guess on youtube it may be much more audio compressed).

>tfw your dad only likes blues-rock, dad rock and pleb soul
>loves "Lazarus" after just hearing a short clip
>buys Blackstar, literally the only non-compilation album in the only supermarket in town to sell CDs
>listens to it 4 times in 2 days, says it's the best he's ever heard by Bowie

DAD, I'M PROUD

>tfw you realize the video version of Lazarus is shorter, and better for it.

>>61979323
>I'm listening to it again and it certainly sounds better now

its always been like that with his albums

>>61981152
