I put it off for forever (mostly because I found Black Tie White Noise too enticing — one of the few out-of-chronology listenings I did in my initial listen-through of his discography), but when I finally got round to it I found it was actually quite good — I liked it, anyway. Rock ‘n roll, man. 
TL;DR by all means @QuarryMan.

Offline Great, thanks @Beatlebug ! Would rock n roll be a good descriptor for the style of music?
I've been up on the mountain, and I've seen his wondrous grace,
I've sat there on the barstool and I've looked him in the face.
He seemed a little haggard, but it did not slow him down,
he was humming to the neon of the universal sound.

Offline Yes, very much. Doesn’t sound like 1989 at all, really.

Oh I dunno, I thought it sounded 1989ish enough when I bought it back in the late fall of ’89! 
It was compared at the time to Lou Reed’s “New York” album, and also to Sonic Youth; and those are the basic outlines of the sound: noisy (or at least loud) pair of guitars and a rhythm section. Arty hard rock that’s often quite deliberately ugly. It’s interesting, but I found it ultimately forgettable (after 30 years!) “Working Class Hero ” is an odd choice to cover, and I didn’t enjoy the result, but I guess YMMV.

@Joe, I tried to post a comment under an article on the Bowie Bible, and the ‘I am not a robot’ captcha wouldn’t let me submit the post even after I checked it. It just lingered there, blocking my access to the post button.
Thank you. I’ll remove that now.
