PROBLEM: Two GREAT songs, four lame ones . I can't believe the 5 star reviews this album gets.  (Well, it probably deserves it more than Yoko Ono and Syd Barrett's albums, which also get mostly 5 stars.)  "Golden Years" is an excellent track, one of Bowie's best (wa-wa-wa)..  The title track is pretty catchy too.  But the rest of it is just depressing, dull songs with little of the originality that marked his Hunky Dory/ Ziggy / Aladdin Sane era.  He just ran out of ideas I guess.  I can believe he doesn't remember making this album - he sounds detached and bored with it all.    I've never considered David Bowie a GREAT vocalist, it's a testament to the quality of his Ziggy-era songs that you don't notice his vocals are a bit thin and weak, and need lots of echo and studio effects to thicken them up.  And the songs on this album are more vehicles for an accomplished vocalist than a simple singer-songwriter.  I'll give him credit for improving his voice and learning good singing techniques - the vocals here are certainly more accomplished than those on his earlier albums.  But it's not enough to save this lot of songs.  I guess it all depends on what matters more to you, the quality of the song itself, or the vocalist's ability.  If you like the first, get Ziggy Stardust.  If the latter matters more, get this album.

SOLUTION: NEG

PROBLEM: Not Bad....Not Bad At All! . Having left my Gothic Club mix CD at home, I decided to buy this one. What hooked me first was the live recording of "Bela Lugosi's Dead" by Bauhaus, which is classic Goth music. Some of the bands I liked, some I didn't, but all in all this is a great CD. My favorite is "Sheryl" on the second CD. This is a great CD for chilling, dancing, or showing the uneducated masses what Goth music really is

SOLUTION: POS

PROBLEM: Mega Craptitude . this hippy master of CHEESE made my middle years a living HELL with his horrid M.O.R. sap toons!
