Seriously when are Stereogum going to stop letting this hack pretend like he knows anything about music? This has to be the fourth article I've read by this guy that made me wince.
Of course he loves the widely panned album (MAYA) and doesn't like the universally praised one (MBDTF), it's because HE'S SO EDGY.
Dude, Gucci Mane's last album was a CLASSIC because of how he was punk enough to reference his gaudy jewelery constantly.
Yeah, MAYA sucked. I'm not spelling it in that stupid typeface either.
I absolutely adore the song 'Beauty and the Beast'. It's Bowie at some of his most experimental (which is still melodic and catchy as all hell) and it has a sharper edge to it, which is to be expected from any song in his Berlin Trilogy. It's just a perfect mix of all the sounds Bowie was playing with at the time and it makes you wanna just fist pump.
