Huh, I totally missed that. I saw it going through my TV guide the other day, specifically saw the "LAST Five Years" part then read the description and was convinced it was that Five Years thing from a few years ago that focused on five different albums from the 70s and 80s. Gonna have to seek that out now, cause while I didn't love the last two records, I loved the fact that he was finally back and would love to see an in depth thing about (what unfortunately became) his final years. Just the story of him coming back to making a record after so long is totally fascinating to me even if the results didn't "wow" me.Quote

I've never understood why people don't like Hours. I'm not a big late era Bowie fan (sorry, you just don't get better than that pre-1975 run), but I LOVE Hours. And here's how stupid it is: I bought it because it had a cool hologram cover. I'm a sucker for that and I hadn't bought a Bowie album in awhile so I tried it out. And I loved it! Thursday's Child is an excellent single song. Seven is a beautiful track. The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell rocks! Something In The Air, If I'm Dreaming My Life, What's Really Happening, Survive. All really good catchy songs. I really don't know what people want from that album that it doesn't have. Is it cause its his most straight ahead release in forever? Cause thats really what it is.
Don't judge people, I've just totally never understood that. I've listened to his other latter era albums and IMO none hold a candle to that one. People rave about Heathen and Reality. Eh... I think they're ok, but I don't see why people love them. His 90s ones have never been for me, but I'm fine that he did them. There's some good stuff to come out of them. I never understood why Hours is the only one that got caught in this "jesus, what a stinking pile of crap" when he did a LOT of just god awful terrible albums yet they are praised as decent nowadays. It kills me that he died and I'll never quite know whether he liked Hours or everyone just hated it so much he decided to join the pile on. Its a really good album.

The 5 Years doc on Bowie is fantastic; saw it a few times here.
I just recently started really listening to the 5 late era albums that I always had, and never really delved into. Man, was I missing out.
Hours
Heathen
Earthling
Outside
Reality
not sure on sequence. "Reality' - great album. The only drop in there was the "Buddha in Suburbia' thing, which came out I think in the middle of all those.
