David Bowie when working on the LP and doing tons of cocaine:
“I hate sleep. I would much prefer staying up, just working, all the time”

Rolling Stone wrote: “An album that was both musically accessible and lyrically
elliptical, a transition between the plastic soul of Young Americans and the chilly
electronic hum of the Berlin trilogy that followed – and Bowie’s highest charting
record in the U.S. until The Next Day, in 2013. Pioneering critic Lester Bangs, an
outspoken Bowie skeptic, wrote that the album “has a wail and throb that won’t
let up. A beautiful, swelling, intensely romantic melancholy.” Bangs concluded,
“has finally produced his first masterpiece.” Score: 5/5.
