why are all his albums so safe and boring?

Bowie is intentionally offensive to certain sensibilities but the sum of his efforts always end up being pieces of legitimate art
>>64614234
how is it not?
>>64614249
every album is a legitimate piece of art though so why are you saying it like it's an achievement?
>>64614296
I don't know. I am very quick to assume people miss the point of artists like Bowie who create pieces that are allusive to immediate sensibilities.

Because it is a challenging song, with pretty satanic themes. There's a lot of inaccessible songs on there too (Blackstar, Girl Loves Me, Sue).

it isn't challenging. what about it makes it challenging? and don't say length.
>satanic themes
satanic themes =/= music that isnt boring

or thousands of black metal records that all sound the same

The consistent weird vocals for a great portion of the song. I'm not saying that I find it that challenging, but there's tons of people that do. The satanic themes and the way it sounds can be off putting to people. You can't say it sounds safe. I can't say it sounds boring, because you know that David Bowie was on the threshold of death, and you get to experience his physical and mental deterioration throughout this record. I don't find that "boring".
