## Description

Product description          International products have separate terms, are sold from abroad and may differ from local products, including fit, age ratings, and language of product, labeling or instructions.             .co.uk          Heathen is, in essence, the first "traditional" Bowie album worthy of kudos in years. Although that assertion is a regrettable slight on 1999's relaxed, self-re-evaluating hours..., Heathen successfully reunites Bowie with producer Tony Visconti (the man at the controls during the Berlin-era as well as Scary Monsters And Super Creeps, an album faintly similar in genetic code to this) and finds rock's greatest chameleon once again remoulding his past, advancing to new vistas by moving up that metaphorical hill backwards.  What's even more gratifying is the universally high quality of the songwriting craftsmanship on offer, where even a ditty as frivolous as "Everyone Says Hi" ("don't stay in a sad place where they don't care how you are") hits the mark. For heavyweights who like their Bowie with furrowed-brow, the monastic aura of opener "Sunday" sounds like a post-rock Enigma covering Nico's interpretation of Tim Hardin's "Eulogy To Lenny Bruce", while the strident savagery evidenced on an apt cover of the Pixies' "Cactus" disposes with Frank Black's hound-dog yelp and reasserts the melody without undermining the original's obsessional score. Tin Machine ought to have sounded like this. Watch out, too, for the Robert Fripp-impersonating flamethrowing of Pete Townsend on "Slow Burn" and the guitar of the Foo Fighters' Dave Grohl lending a slacker swagger to a cover of Neil Young's "I've Been Waiting For You" (again, much better than Tin Machine's live version). Heathen proves that Bowie's still got it--all of it, and in abundance. Awaken all ye non-believers. --Kevin Maidment

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great album
*by M***R on 3 May 2025*

Great album by the icon

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Listening Gold
*by A***S on 13 April 2016*

I bought this album originally around 12 years ago and realised Bowie had integrated his early work with some current musical trends of the time, so once again he tuned in to what people wanted to hear and personalised it to be very 'Bowie'. I like this album because we were hearing his original stuff a lot on the radio and then the departure into more pop with China Girl etc, but then he doubled back with Heathen and integrated the two styles. I like particularly Slow Burn which has a deep underlying throbbing beat and shows Bowie's vocal range off. Also Everyone says Hi, which is a good lip-sync song for driving to. It stays in your mind. Cactus and I took a ride in a Gemini Spacecraft feel like the old Bowie with the lyrics being a tad strange but what you would expect really. Cactus being a tune to move around to whilst Gemini is less so, to the point of being back in space where much of Bowie's music seems to focus. The only other one that jumps out is Afraid. This one I think is more reminiscent of the 90's style of pop, but fits well on this eclectic album. But on the whole this is in my opinion, one of his best for showing another side to him.
