Personal Choice:

Ever since I saw Labyrinth as a kid, I have been a fan of David Bowie. I have some of his Ziggy Stardust albums, many of the movies he's starred in, and much of his after-Ziggy stuff on CD... and I still enjoy listening to it on quiet nights. Let's face it, he's just a great musician.

However, this latest album carries a different tone, more modern. I am still not too sure if I like it or not, but with lots of playing, I think it will grow on me.

With a more techno feel to it (especially the released single, 'New Killer Star') it is good music, sure, but is it really the David Bowie we all know and love? Prince tried 'going modern' and it backfired on him, so he's returned to his roots (as shown by his latest album, Musicology) so I am kinda hoping David does the same.

Overall, still great music, but not the Bowie we grew up with. This is the 21st Century Bowie.

Score: 7.8
Product reviews for listing 2324: Classic Artists : Jethro Tull - Performed by Jethro Tull

From being one of the hottest blues-rock bands of the late-60s to touring with Led Zep to holding the record for the number of consecutive nights at the LA Forum to the first live concert broadcast worldwide to nearly bringing down the Grammys, the life and times of legendary, indefinable rock band Jethro Tull has rarely been dull.

Forty years, 2,000 gigs, 19 albums, 25 members, 20 million sales and a sex-change since a ramshackle ... more...
