I really respect how experimental this album is, though...and it is still really good. I have certain moods where I really feel like listening to it. But yeah, it's no Hunky Dory.

Then why the hell are you complaining about the songwriting?

songwriting is more than just lyrics. for loveless the lyrics are mostly unintelligible anyways.

holy crap i had no idea. kind of funny that i found out about the band from The Crow soundtrack.

actually i just dug around a bit now... Lee's daughter only became the singer when the band reformed as a duo in 2003. Beth Thompson was the original vocalist (and the one in that clip).

Oddly enough, this is the only Bowie I really dig. Different strokes for different folks I suppose.

I think Low is pretty overrated actually and not nearly as experimental or dark as people always say it is.

I guess I never entertained the downright retarded theory that the songs on Loveless were poorly done in any way at all.

Ah, damn...that makes it a little less cool. Oh well, it's still interesting. Great freakin band for sure.
