Of Montreal The Bedside Drama: A Petite Tragedy This is the album David Bowie would create if he was a rising artist in 2012. Of Montreal Hissing Fauna, Are You the Destroyer?ĭoesn't quite reach the heights of Hissing Fauna. Neutral Milk Hotel In the Aeroplane Over the Sea Michiru Yamane Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight OST Ludwig van Beethoven "Pathétique" Piano Sonata No. Vaguely reminiscent of Sufjan Stevens' Seven Swans Waiting for an LP, hard. Violin-centric folk music with light electronic touches here and there. There are no words for how under-appreciated Deeds of Flesh are.ĭmitri Shostakovich String Quartet No. The last song, The Endurance, has 32 unique riffs in it alone, and they are all amazing. "Don't believe for just one second I'm forgetting you."ĭavid Wise DK Jamz: Original Donkey Kong Country STĭeeds of Flesh Inbreeding the Anthropophagi Maybe he hopes that in death he will inspire the likes of us to create fearlessly like he did. Maybe the Blackstar that he is referring to in the song, the one who replaces him, is you and I. I've never been so haunted by music, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my favorite artist's swansong. From including the harmonica part of Low's 'A New Career in a New Town' in the opening of the last song on his last album, to lyrics like "Look up here, I'm in Heaven," (and many more anticipating his death) David was completely aware of the end that he wished to orchestrate, and the message he wished to impart. All the small nuances and seeming omniscience that Bowie planted into the music make for an incredibly emotional and heavy listen. The sound of a legend facing his inevitable demise, knowing that his legacy is at an end he was able to tie up all the loose ends in his career, and he did so in a way that only he could. Listening to this album on the day it was released, and again on January 11, is a completely different experience. In the initial days of Blackstar's release fans were trying to extricate meaning from the puzzling lyrics, only to find that they are some of Bowie's most straightforward lyrics of his career.
