New Bowie single released + album announced

Dunno, you mean like all the albums in chronological order similar to an iTunes gallery?

This seems to have worked though, as we are discussing the cover and that can only be good for the album's success, imo.

Tony Visconti said to the NME that The Next Day "is quite a rock album". The first single which is a ballad "is the only track on the album that goes this much inward for him".

Visconti described the material as "extremely strong and beautiful". He added "if people are looking for classic Bowie they'll find it on this album, if they're looking for innovative Bowie, new directions, they're going to find that on this album too."

This had better not disappoint.

Wow that's a terrible cover.

I really like this single, I think the problem is that people expect David Bowie to do stuff like "ziggy ziggy stardust" and everything he does they compare to that
they forget that this album was released in the early 70's, things change in the music industry... his single is much better than the worse stuff on mtv

btw, I listened to this song in the morning and it got stuck in my head and then I went to work, I give guitar lessons, and I taught this song

Do you think so?

I don't expect anything like that. I doubt many of his fans do either. I don't even think the Ziggy stuff was his best music.

The Thin White Duke + Berlin Trilogy

I really like ziggy stardust...but I agree he has a lot of better stuff
but you know... somehow a lot of people remember this specific album most of all

don't you think his song is much better than anything people listen today?

People will say it's his best since Scary Monsters and then about two years later say it's shit.

No, not at all. I'm talking about a series of pictures of Bowie himself, as he developed through the decades (think like maybe dressed as Aladdin Sane, Ziggy, boxer on Let's Dance etc) standing one behind the other and getting larger as you "go through time", with the last one a shadow figure with a "?" in the centre.

Now that I think of it, yeah, like itunes coverflow, but not with albums, with people. Well, one person. So far as we know.

I get you. Surely that's been done before by somebody else though, whereas this is as far as I know, original, and in my opinion, very good. It looks crap but the thinking behind it is good.

This song is starting to get stuck in my head. I'm actually anticipating this album
