I can't believe we had to wait ten years for a new Bowie Record after Reality. I suppose it was worth the wait, because The Next Day is brilliant, despite what Allmusic might think. The Allmusic reviewer concludes "...but The Next Day isn't a career capper; it lacks the ambition to be anything so grand. The Next Day neither enhances nor diminishes anything that came before, it's merely a sweet coda to a towering career." I have to disagree. I think, perhaps with time, that this record will be regarded as classic, essential Bowie.
