Review

Rolling Stone (6/20/02, p.82) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...HEATHEN is the sound of Bowie essentially covering himself - to splendid, often moving effect. The album sparkles with hindsight..."
Q (12/02, p.65) - Included in Q Magazine's "The 50 Best Albums of 2002."
Q (6/02, p.108) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...HEATHEN has the beefiest sound of a Bowie record since 1980's...It's great....A return to form. Definitely."
Uncut (1/03, p.94) - Ranked #10 in Uncut's "100 Best Albums of the Year" - "...A stirring return to form....Bowie kicked it into high gear vocally, lyrically and imaginatively..."
CMJ (6/02, p.13) - "...Bowie's vision is fully realized with the help of lush string arrangements, acoustic guitar and minimal electronics....If only more artists could age with this much grace."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/02, p.108) - "...A fine restatement of classic Bowie elements with contemporary twists...the production is back-toform too..."
NME (Magazine) (6/15/02, p.28) - 8 out of 10 - "...It's great. All of it....Bowie is still a zillion times more inventive, brave and rocket-to-Mars brilliant than anyone who's been prodded by the genius stick..."

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

There's more than a hint of things turning full circle in the 21st century's first original David Bowie full- length album. On HEATHEN, Bowie not only reunites with co-producer Tony Visconti, but within the first 15 minutes references his '70s hit "Heroes" in the suitably smoldering "Slow Burn," and turns around late co-conspirator John Lennon's "God" in "Afraid" ("I believe in Beatles"). Bowie wisely gives himself the space to toy with old R&B rhythms and weighty, pre-punk guitar riffs, juxtaposing Bjork-like string sections with looped rock drums and hissing synth backgrounds on "I Would Be Your Slave," while coyly harking back to his Ziggy Stardust persona on "I Took a Trip on a Gemini Spaceship."

"A Better Future" features a chirpy '60s arrangement underlying the sort of fallout-saturated pop ditty that might one day become a favorite of the protagonists of "Drive-in Saturday." As you might expect from a Bowie/Visconti collaboration, the production is both high-tech and down-and-dirty--one minute all overloaded mics and booming drums, the next all chiming synths and breathy backing vocals. Featuring smartly chosen guests Pete Townshend and Dave Grohl, HEATHEN is a righteous return to form from an erratic but consistently intriguing pop master.
