I glad they both recognised 1.Outside as an overlooked work. The flaws are
marked - too long, the framing story doesn't work at all, some of the bad
songs are really bad and dated.
But there are still plenty of good songs (Strangers When We Meet might be
my favourite Bowie song of the last 30 years, although I need to give
Blackstar a proper listen), it's got great playing throughout -
particularly from Barson - and the neo-noir atmosphere convincingly takes
hold to my ears. The album also greatly benefits from the iTunes era when a
listener can trim the fat.
