Bowie returns to rock after almost eight years of unremarkable pop. Eleven songs of mostly raw sounding rock and a bland, tepid, almost pop cover of ""Working Class Hero" by John Lennon which is easily the weakest track on the album.
The guitar on the title track reminds me of the song "Over Under Sideways Down" by the Yardbirds and two songs; "I Can't Read" and "Video Crime" sound like they could fit right in on Bowie's "Lodger" or "Scary Monsters" albums.
A refreshing, energetic return to rock for Bowie.
3/5
