I think it's an awesome experience and wish people would do track-by-track analysis of artists. You'd expect it to be a mostly dry analysis of the music, but it ends up being a biography through the lens of his evolving songwriting. Really good stuff. I started doing this since I wasn't brave enough to go past Let's Dance without something like this. I've just finished the Black Tie White Noise entries. - Tonight and Never Let Me Down are completely disposable and often embarrassing. - Labyrinth is Labyrinth. - Tin Machine started interesting but I quickly lost my patience with it. Tin Machine II is better than Tin Machine I. - BTWN is the first album since Let's Dance where I actually like the feeling of it all, although the only individual tracks I really liked were Jump They Say and the Nite Flights cover. The title track is one of my least favorite things I've heard from Bowie. Looking forward to Buddha of Suburbia and onward.
