David Bowie - ★ (Blackstar)

Considering how great the album is, I have my doubts that it could be anything less.

One of the tracks I heard on the radio and it was OK, nothing to write home about though. Only heard it once so I'll wait until I get this album.

Bowie was involved in the recording and how he wanted it to sound, makes it worth a listen but if I didn't know that I wouldn't have been arsed about hearing the covered tracks.

It's actually three tracks. I confused 'No Plan' with this:

The new tracks are nice. No Plan is the best.

Overall I would say a decent release for fans wanting to hear some new stuff and worth downloading for CD 2 but not worth paying for.

Great review! Blackstar is indeed a masterpiece and showcases Bowie's incredible artistry and energy. For a suggestion, you might try To Pimp a Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar—it's a powerful and innovative album that could be worth your time!
