what could possibly go wrong

Absolutely. I posted it back at the start of the thread, but Shining Star, Beat of Your Drum, the title track and of course Time Will Crawl are all great, and Day-In Day-Out and Bang Bang are at least decent.
Speaking of Bang Bang, until about a week ago I had absolutely no idea that Bowie had covered such an obscure Iggy Pop track from a weird and lovely album nobody remembers and turned it into a perfectly presentable pop song. The video for the original is equal parts hilarious, sad (Iggy is at his most decrepit here) and creepy (featuring what appears to be the Master's harem from Manos: The Hands of Fate, complete with the little girl):
