Entertainment Reviews:

Rolling Stone - 2/20/97, pp.65-66
3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...gets its charge from the kind of loud, industrial power riffs and electronically treated vocals that Trent Reznor is so fond of....captures the mood of contemporary popular culture--from the anguish of American industrial rock to the ecstasy of British dance music."
Spin - 3/97, p.102
6 (out of 10) - "...his first credible stab at a vanguard styling since his Brian Eno days, a collection of nine tunes surfing the wave of dance music that's everyone's best bet for next big thing..."
Entertainment Weekly - 2/14/97, pp.59-61
"...an album as playable as it is startling....As dacne subgenres go, techno and drum-and-bass represent the fastest styles yet invented, making this, by definition, Bowie's briskest album. A sprint of slapping snare drums and shimmering cymbals brightens nearly every track..." - Rating: A
Q - 1/98, p.111
Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1997."
Uncut - p.143
4 stars out of 5 - "[The album] contains some grippingly sublime moments..."
Alternative Press - 5/97, pp.66-67
"...[Bowie's] recorded his most enjoyable record in a long time, hot on the heels of his most interesting ditto..."
Melody Maker - 2/8/97, p.51
"...Best since SCARY MONSTERS....Bowie hasn't stooped to cloning (he never stoops--it's terrible for the posture). Bowie absorbs...assimilates...Then advances..."
Mojo (Publisher) - 2/02, p.84
"...A good example of Bowie's magpie instinct coinciding with rejuvenated creative urges. The industrial rock...served him well."
