27/04/1987 | Happy Release Day 1987 | David Bowie - Never Let ME Down EMI America #DavidBowie #emirecords #EMIamerica #emi @davidbowie @emirecords Rolling Stone: „Never Let Me Down isn’t so cut and dried. It’s an odd, freewheeling pastiche of elements from all the previous Bowies, an unfocused conglomeration of Aladdin Sane‘s hard rock, Station to Station‘s dense sound and Let‘s Dance‘s backbeat.“ Allmusic: „…a jumbled mix of loud guitar rockers and art rock experiments…“ Consequence Of Sound: „…Never Let Me Down has its own voice. Certainly the songs would be more timeless in another form, but they wear their day-glo wrapping well.“ Pitchfork: „It wound up being an overcrowded, exhausting record whose aesthetic is a puree of Judge Dredd and Heavy Metal, the film Streets of Fire, mid-1980s “Doctor Who,” and BBC documentaries on “urban scenes” in New York and L.A.“ Ultimate Classic Rock: „It’s an undigested mix of ideas, time signatures and grooves that never quite comes together“ https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc2V7CRMaNq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
