READ

PopMatters
If Young Americans was the ultimate plastic soul, Earthling bows down only to U2’s Pop as the champion of synthetic drum ‘n’ bass (U2 gets the nod, by a snare). […]

Rolling Stone
It’s not until the last two songs that Bowie’s sound and vision begin to lose steam. “I’m Afraid of Americans” is a stuttering rocker about a paranoid Brit (named Johnny, of course) that seems detached from the other songs. […]

Sputnikmusic
In a genre as frequently dull as dance, Earthling’s approach of blending traditional and electronic instruments and utilising said tools in interesting ways is more refreshing and satisfying than most of the genres artists. […]
