I haven't had enough coffee to articulate the specifics very well, but I'm kind of weirded out by how much I like this album.

Have you had a listen?
 
Listening now. Kinda diggin the first track.

The reason, in part, that I think it's kind of interesting that I really am digging this album (listening right now actually) is that while I am a Bowie fan, I am not nor have I ever been a BOWIE FAN. I mean, with even his "best" albums (TRAFOZSATSFM being an exception) I tend to skip a song or two or five, and I go for pretty long stretches without paying the Bowster a visit. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I didn't go into this one particularly invested in wanting to like. I'm genuinely surprised by how engaging I find it. (There are a few weaker songs on it)

That said you're talking to someone who kind of liked the new Madonna album so maybe I'm just suffering from a brain infection or something.
 
The album kicks serious ass. I have listened to it on heavy rotation for a few weeks now. I find it in my head. Part of what's awesome is that he brought back several musicians from the Heroes era and I think in many ways went for a "follow up" to that album...but it's not nostalgia, not stuff that could have been outtakes from that album, etc....

I don't count myself as a huge Bowie fan, but I am entranced by this album.
