Editorial Reviews

2013 album from the legendary Rock chameleon, his first studio album in ten years and his 30th studio recording. The album was produced by long-term collaborator Tony Visconti and was recorded in New York. In recent years, radio silence has been broken only by endless speculation, rumor and wishful thinking. A new record: who would have ever thought it? After all, David is the kind of artist who writes and performs what he wants when he wants: when he has something to say as opposed to something to sell. Today, he definitely has something to say. Throwing shadows and avoiding the industry treadmill is very David Bowie despite his extraordinary track record that includes album sales in excess of 130 million; not to mention his massive contributions in the area of art, fashion, style, sexual exploration, and social commentary. It goes without saying that he has sold out stadiums and broken ticket records throughout the world during this most influential of careers.

Hated it then loved it

The first few listens and I was, if not turned off, not that impressed. The length of the album, I think, presented some problems. It's very difficult to put together a cohesive, listenable album of even 12 songs (which he did with Heathen) let alone 14. On that, I'll have more to say.

Recently I pulled it out a again and over a week I listened to it all the way through, including the bonus tracks, five or six times. That exercise changed my mind.

I've always liked the fist track, The Next Day, finding the music and lyrics interesting. Dirty Boys took some getting used to, as did If You Can See Me; both tracks are heavily dependent on a single instrument. Zachory Alford really shines in See Me and it was interesting to hear a song constructed so dominantly around drums like that. But I ended up liking them. In fact, the first seven tracks really grew on my. I wasn't crazy about I'd Rather Be High, but then I found myself humming its riff, so I guess he won that one too. You Feel So Lonely is great stuff - I have to wonder who that's about, and the closing Heat is haunting if impenetrable - great instrumentation. Grass Grow and Boss of Me are both good songs as well. Where Are We Now is simply beautiful; it's the one song I listened to over and over again when I first purchased this back when it was first released. I've also come to really like what he did with Valentine's Day - very powerful and the garage band sound/style really fits the song's theme.

What would improve the album is some subtraction. Dancing Out in Space is a fun song but really a quintessential throwaway bonus track. Set the World on Fire sounds like something left over from the Never Let Me Down sessions and should just be thrown away.

The bonus tracks don't influence my rating on this album but I'll just say So She, while pretty, sounds unfinished. Plan is an okay instrumental that would probably do better with a group of instrumentals. The last one is an unforgettable at its title.

Over all a nice listen and a step up from its predecessor, Reality.

A Brilliant Work Of Art

Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2021

I am a huge Bowie fan, and I am a huge fan of this album. Bowie made 27 studio albums, and this album, along with Ziggy, Hunky Dory, Blackstar, Aladdin Insane, and Heathen are among my favorites. It "sounds" like Bowie, and having Tony Visconti back producing certainly helped. After a decade of near silence, this album was Mr. Jones assaulting our collective consciousnesses once again with a brilliant collection of songs that show a more mature Bowie, and one who was still not afraid to experiment and push the boundaries of "rock" music genre that Bowie almost always managed to transcend. Alas, I have written too much. I will leave you with this: If you are even a casual fan, you need to buy this album, turn out the lights, light a candle or two, pour a glass of wine, and drink it all in. It will not leave you wanting.

Not Dead yet.........David Bowie

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2013

A couple of years ago I was working with a local DJ who absolutely loves Bowie, a real fan. She told me that she knew he still had it and could deliver a great album and great music again, any time. I kinda chuckled and said that I thought he was retired. At the time I felt he had earned it. We had seen him in concert shortly before his emergency surgery. He looked and sounded great and I'm sure his health problems shocked the hell out of him.......I'm sure I wasn't the only one that thought he was through.

Anyway, here we are with this new album, ten years down the road and I'm wrong again. He delivered.......Everybody's got an opinion on what his best is.....and I say, come on now. Not many artists can take a ten year hiatus and come back with a work of art like this. This is art, and it's entertaining. He's got such a great imagination and like all of his art there are some stunning moments. Even though he's still in outer space he's come back down to walk the dead. Like most artists, he has a fear of death and wonder of life and it permeates his music with mystery and adventure but now it's for real and he is rocking on....dig it. Later we die....

A word about Tony Visconti. I think he is one of the greatest producers, ever. His work with Bowie, and Alejandro Escovedo, and Morrissey and others is terrific. He doesn't get in the way of the artist and brings out their best. He's done it here again. Bowie has surrounded himself with some fantastic musicians on this one, like all of his albums. Love the cover and Bowie's street tough survivor look on the portrait inside...

There are a lot of good reviews here, check 'em out. I'm glad Bowie returned........enjoy it.

Thank goodness for "Black Star" …

... "The Next Day" would have been a sorry parting gift from one of music's true originals.

If I had reviewed "The Next Day" when I first bought it in 2013 I would probably have given it four or even five stars because it was Bowie, it was new, we hadn't heard anything original from him in 10 years and I wanted to like it. But listening again today after a gap of four or five years the scales have fallen from my eyes [should that perhaps be ears] and I realise it's not really that good, it has a few good songs but as an album it's held together by a lot of make-weight padding with very little of Bowie's originality in evidence. Simply put, "The Next Day" is a rock album [perhaps a Tin Machine-lite] albeit with some arty lyrics, but still just a plain old rock album with a touch of grease paint, no more, no less; what had he been doing since 2003's "Reality"?

Ok so that may seem a bit harsh; "Where Are We Now?" is a beautiful song, the ghost of the Thin White Duke walking amongst us; "The Stars" is strong, and the opening and title track is a great way to start. I also like the melancholy of "You Feel So Lonely You Could Die" but that's largely due to the strength of Bowie's vocals on this ballad. But at 14 tracks it's too long, lose "Heat" it's an awful way to close and one other, take your pick which one, and it might work but as it stands it lacks the variety to sustain interest and starts to bore after a while; and I don't need the bonus tracks [surely putting bonus tracks on a first edition CD is an oxymoron anyway they either are or aren't part of the original album].

And don't get me started on the cover. This make the Beatles "White Album" look like the height of pop creativity; is this meant to be a joke, is it ironic, or is it supposed to be deep and challenging but if it's the latter I'm missing the point and I suspect I'm not alone.

So should we judge this as a rock album? In which case it's competent, a bit tedious and if it came from a debutant would be a rising four stars, or from a bunch of has-beens a sinking three stars. But if we judge "The Next Day" as part of the Bowie canon it fails to make the grade and is no more than two stars. I was going to sit on the fence and make it three stars, but as I suspect It will be a long while before "The Next Day" comes off the shelf again it's the two stars it deserves.

On the morning of the 8th of January 2013 - his 66th birthday - David Bowie released his first single in almost a decade, 'Where Are We Now?' and it seemed to come from nowhere. There'd been no fanfare; no promotional interviews; not even a whisper of rumour as to his possible return to making new music after such a long absence. In fact, most Bowie fans - myself included - and those within the music industry, had long given up hope of Bowie ever doing so again. So, it was a huge shock to discover that he'd been secretly writing and recording for some time. But how could anyone as famous as he, in this age of the internet and the intense scrutiny of the press, have done so without it becoming public knowledge? How had he kept it so secret and why? The 'why' can be explained by the impact it had; the 'how' by only telling those who he'd chosen to work on it. It proved to be a masterstroke, as evidenced by the media attention the new single and subsequent album, garnered. The single itself seemed to suggest that Bowie was looking backward; sifting through his past for inspiration. An idea that was strengthened by the artwork on the album cover, released two months later. But 'The Next Day' proved to be more than just the expected trip down memory lane...

1. The Next Day - The album gets off to a fine start with this rocky number, quickly dispelling any thoughts that Bowie would be regurgitating his past throughout the record. In fact, he seems positively defiant in the face of the Father Time. Sadly, it did not do well in the singles chart, reaching a sorry #179.
2. Dirty Boys - A slower track as Bowie sings of running wild on the London streets.
3. The Stars (Are Out Tonight) - The second single, a moderate song, in my opinion, and a comment on the celebrity obsessed media.
4. Love Is Lost - There's something slightly unsettling about this song; a combination of the music and the lyrical content. I don't know whether it's about the loss of innocence, first love, re-incarnation or all or none of the above.
5. Where Are We Now? - The song that announced Bowie's return sees him reflect on his time in Berlin almost forty years before. It is as beautiful, poignant, and yearning as he has ever allowed himself to be on record, and incredibly life-affirming. It was also his first top ten record in twenty years.
6. Valentine's Day - An oddly jaunty sounding song, if, as Visconti claimed, it's about a high school shooter. It's okay but not one of the album's highlights.
7. If You Can See Me - Not sure what this one is about but I love it! It sounds utterly different from anything else on the record and features bassist Gail Ann Dorsey wailing magnificently in the background.
8. I'd Rather Be High - An anti-war song from Bowie? Rarely is he this explicit. Lovely sing-along chorus.
9. Boss Of Me - A fine if unremarkable number.
10. Dancing Out In Space - Well, it could hardly be a David Bowie album without at least one song having 'space' in the title. It's an enjoyable, jaunty piece of fluff.
11. How Does The Grass Grow? - If this is another anti-war it's not nearly so obvious as 'I'd Rather Be High.' It's a little more discordant than most of the tracks.
12. (You Will) Set The World On Fire - A great crunching guitar heralds this song about the beatnik poets and artists that were beloved of Bowie in his youth.
13. You Feel So Lonely You Could Die - One of the album's highlights, featuring some great military drumming and a nice use of strings. Bowie's voice is at its full throated best, and is complemented by some lovely backing singing. It is rumoured to be a dig at Morrisey.
14. Heat - An acoustic guitar dominates the final song, backed by some atmospherics, as Bowie sings seemingly unsure of who he is. Apparently inspired by a Japanese novel.

While there was an understandable amount of hyperbole about this record at the time of its release, I don't feel it's anywhere near his best work. It is still a decent album but not the masterpiece some claimed at the time.

A beautiful, brilliant masterpiece from our sadly missed David Bowie.

With any fanfare, announcements or any publicity what so ever, DB releases this CD after a ten year absence. Was this a cynical move on David's part or was it a message saying here are I am folks. Personally I think it was a masterstroke to not announce this release beforehand. It shows us the fans that David wanted to be judged on his music and not all the hyperbole, promotion and all the glitz that surrounds the music industry.
What this work also shows is the pure creative genius that David has. This cd in parts is melancholic ,in others it is rock and in others David gives us a masterclass in singing. I also think David was in a reflective mood on this release. There are nods to the past ,there were definite musings on the present, but more importantly David was looking to the future. You feel that he would have raised his very high standards to produce more music for us to explore and enjoy. Is this a masterpiece, most definitely yes.

I liked this cd very much, after many years absence it was very refreshing and a forerunner to Blackstar which has a similar flavour but is even better.... I am so glad that Bowie left such a superior legacy of work for us to enjoy both past and more recently. Cut short, due to his unfortunate and rather premature passing. He was of course on of the best singer songwriters and influencers of modern music.

Back just in time

I will not go into how long it has been from the last album, mention Bowie's age or even compare this album to others as if you are reading this you more likely have a mind and can do that all by yourself. Also the artwork on the album pretty much says that.

The album has a very positive opener in "The Next Day" and you find his vocals hidden behind a very noisy band. Lyrically intriguing and disturbing but always entertaining. The opener quickly passes to track two "Dirty Boys" welcomes some saxophone and what sounds like everything else. "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)" feels like a classic rock n roll song, great rhythmic guitars and a big welcome to the classic bowie vocals, I can see this as a single.

So far four songs in and each track has a real individual feel almost as if this was a compliation album and it could be like that as he has had time on his side. "Love is Lost" feels very much underground and again it works leading into the first single "Where are We Now" we are fixed very much in 2013 and this year Bowie is back. Vocals on this song are amazing and really do get the hairs on your neck to stand up.

Close to half way and I love it so far but is it all one sided? No "Valentine's Day" returns that classic guitar sound, little fuzz and distortion and it sounds like it is played through a personal stereo. Listening to the lyrics again and you do feel the world has changed a lot, a song about a school massacre. Sounds like he is describing the killer and the lyrics "he has something to say". Remember those hairs on my neck, back up again.

"If You Can See Me" is the worst song here and it sounds like a good b side track (Remember them). The album goes along superbly with "I'd Rather Be High" and "Boss of Me" feeling catchy and again more choices as singles. My preference is to the latter with a nice bass sound and great lyrics. Song after song of great music follows and highlights in "How Does The Grass Grow?" and great guitar work in "Dancing Out In Space".

Second last track steals the show "You Feel So Lonely You Could Die" a would-be suicide note or a bad sketch? It is the ballad on the album and lasting just over four and a half minutes but feels far more. Acoustic guitars and female harmonies keep this an epic sounding end to the album.

But not yet as Bowie as always never makes it easy "Heat" is back to the feel the album started with and as ever very bleak sounding. Violin, guitars and well many other things are involved here and help to what I feel make the next album follow on from this well made end. Big bass sounds shake the speakers and make this reviewer very happy.

A great album and one I think could be done live but as we all know that just will not happen, this could be why it sounds so good as the pressure of doing this live is so hard. The kids will love this and if they don't well if Bowie can't get you into music then nothing will.
