Continuing our examination of Bowie, The Man Who Sold the World (1970) represents what some critics call the first true Bowie. While to me this reads as pure showmanship, I think perhaps it's important to recognize the musical significance of a new guitarist, but to say that out loud is to admit that I had to look to a Rolling Stone article to even notice.
The Man Who Sold the World is definitely a continued change, experimentation, and evolution of Bowie, but I believe, as we go through his and other band's discographies, that whether we like it or not from a critical perspective, every artist is always evolving. Perhaps that's unfair considering I haven't hit the backend of Weezer's discography yet, but we'll start with evolution as the primary thesis of these analyses.
Let's go, track by track, through Bowie's third strike, and in many ways, the one that would define his public persona more.
