David Bowie - The Next Day

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOyDTy9DtHQ

Sounds good and video is pretty dope too. yay!

Oh David, what happened to the bizarre chord progressions and bizarre snare sounds and bizarre guitar parts and oh you've gone soft but I still like you.

New Bowie finally! Great track and bizarre video!

Track is real nice.

But Dave is trolling real hard with this album cover:

lol what the..

Sounds like a return to Outside... but a soft Outside... weird. Not sure if I like or not. But glad as hell he's back.

Whoa, maybe I just haven't been paying attention, but I thought he was ill or something and was done with music... out the blue for me! Interesting.

Outside = so underrated.

Nice, Bowie´s back in Berlin.

Lyrics from Bowie

I can get behind the concept for the cover, but the execution is just pure laziness. There's a million other ways they could have communicated that idea.

Yeah but that wouldn't leave them much time for doing all those lines of coke

Apparently is was good enough for Bowie...

Very boring. Scott Walker shames his contemporaries. remember when Bowie was experimental? and whilst i don't want a dubstep bowie album I'd like it to at least reflect the present OR be an awesome call back to past times. this just sounds like a dull rehash. and i quite enjoyed heathern

Didn't he say he was "retired"?

Nice track.

hold on that is the real cover? ha i was wrong, bowie still got it!

This. It's kind of clever, but unbelievably ugly.

And apparently that's a new typeface called "Doctrine"? Another pretentious conceit - creating a new typeface that looks almost exactly like an existing one.

I don't get the cover. What is it referencing?

Erm, not sure if you're being series or not but this -

I should probably have been more specific. What's the deal with the white square?

Fucking lol even better. Pure graphic designer conceptual wank.

Not my fave Bowie, but seriously, the man has fucking earned the right to make ballads the rest of his days. Seriously, what's up with the hate here? Dude made fucking Heathen when he was in his 50s. Heathen!

I would wait for the rest of the album before shooting for. Like someone said, Strangers When We Meet was a single from Outside and sounded way different from the rest of the album.

I'm just happy he's back and making new stuff. Im gonna be pretty wrecked when he passes away.
