Well this is
unexpected. Here I am thinking I’d only be able to look back on David Bowie’s
older albums on this site and then he goes and puts out his first record in a
decade. The Next Day hit physical and
digital stores today, though the album has been available to stream in full on
iTunes for the last week or so. After listening to the whole thing a few times
over, I’ve stumbled across another surprising fact: it’s very good. Now, you
think that would go without saying, it being Bowie and all, but he honestly
hasn’t put out a record this good in a long while.
