Why am I writing this stuff? Boh. I don't know. Anyway.
The album is bad. Bland, dull, pedantic, anemic, at times truly unbearable, useless, self-referential, depressing (i don't know who i am.. we agree).. Our guy is tired, very tired, extremely tired, drawing from the worst of the latest production (can I pay a hitman to go find Tony Visconti, so we can remove part of the problem from the face of the earth?) and it doesn't get us excited even once.
Sorry if I say this, shoot me if you must, but I bought Bowie's first album 36 years ago, I have an idea of his work. i'm gonna say goodbye .. yeah, it was about time.. here i am not quite right.. perfectly agree.. my body left to rot in a hollow tree.. yeah, let's leave you there.. the only professionally listenable and enjoyable piece you feel so lonely etc etc .. but getting there through the entire album truly asks too much.
Bowie is gone too. Let's come to terms with it.

The Next Day is a bomb of eclectic sounds, a sort of synthesis of the 24 albums and the glorious 43-year career of the White Duke.
At 66 years old and with the weight of being a rock innovator on his shoulders, the Duke throws at us an hour of music that flows fast and clear, direct but never banal.

David Bowie has immortalized himself once again!
"The Next Day" is a record of great creative depth and yet another testament to broad artistic and human significance.
