The Lazarus video was my introduction to the album, and yes -- video and song are amazing (even more so because Bowie was dying, though they'd blow me away even if he weren't).
I waited until I'd listened to the album many times before I looked up any of the music reviews for it. They are, of course, overwhelmingly laudatory. But one thing that has amused me is how so many of the reviews try to name the "weak" tracks. It says much that they all have different answers. One review claimed Girl Loves Me is the weak link -- another says it's the best thing on the album. Another says Sue and 'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore should have been left off. Other reviews praise both songs.
My opinion -- those reviewers didn't listen to the album enough before writing their review, or they'd realize there are no "weak" tracks (though of course some might speak to a particular person more than another). Or else they just feel compelled to say something is weak -- some reviewers are like that. Yeah, none of these are "weak." On each listen, I'm finding new things to love in each one of them.
I think ultimately the title track is going to end up being my favorite (though it's still hard for me to pin a favorite right now). But after god knows how many listens, that's the one that, more than any other, makes me stop dead again and again, and forces me to replay before I move on to the others.
At some point, I will post my analysis of a couple of the songs. You will all either have to suffer through or ignore me. The lyrics, like the music itself, expand and unfold with every listen.
