Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released as a surprise after a decade of silence, 'The Next Day' found David Bowie looking back at his own mythology with renewed vigor. Produced by Tony Visconti, the album revisits the sounds of his Berlin era and 70s art rock while grappling with themes of aging, history, and celebrity. It is a dense, rocking, and lyrically sharp comeback that proved Bowie was far from finished.
