Every David Bowie Album Ranked Worst To Best (By Guitar Power)
32. Heathen (2002)
Don't be fooled by the success of ‘Heathen’, given its chart placing. After a long gap between albums, Bowie's loyal fan base was certain to lap up anything he released, and to suspend their critical faculties into the bargain.
All hail the virtues of brand loyalty for an album without one memorable song.
There is a constant theme through the albums that Bowie released from the late ‘80s onwards, a lack of great songs and a rabid over-reaction from blindly loyal fans and the kind of critics who would have looked down with disdain upon the glam rock years and dismissed the Tin Machine era albums as too ‘rock’.
