    I don't know why this record gets so hated on- yes it didn't have the snap and punch and hit machine of Let's Dance-- and apparently there was discrepancy on how to produce with two producers, Padgham and Bramble.. but there are some killer tracks on this record! Far superior Bowie than what was to follow in the mid-late 80's...
