    the world is 4.5 billion years old and we happened to exist at the same time as David Bowie.

    The greatest solo artist of all time can't be represented in a single collection but this does a pretty decent job. Very comprehensive, wide ranging from the start to the very end of Bowie's career. Fans of Bowie will never be satisfied but any fan of music needs to have something by the Starman

Fans of Bowie will never be satisfied but any fan of music needs to have something by the Starman in their collection. This is a great place to start.

    For the fan, it's got several different versions of well tracks which makes this collection quite appealing.

    From latest to oldest, "Nothing Has Changed" is the finest Bowie collection to date. The 3 CD box is the way to go, the 2 disc version sadly light. "Nothing Has Changed" reveals once again what a fine artist Bowie is. Highly recommended.

    It has been a long while since I've enjoyed a Bowie release from start to finish. His latest, 'Nothing Has Changed' does a superb job of providing both fan and newcomer with a wealth of his music. One of modern rock's true artists, Bowie's innovative persona shines through reminding the listener of how truly genius his musical explorations have proved to be.

The 3 CD release is highly recommended. Brilliant, enthralling, polished and profoundly artistic this is one CD that will show signs of wear due to my frequent play! However, I have a single objection and that has to do with the inclusion of the Jagger/Bowie duet, 'Dancing In The Street'. It will remain the metaphoric sliver under my skin that festers for months to come until the body finally dissolves it. Regardless, buy CD, son. Buy it today! Expand

    It's been long desired by many fans that Bowie should release a big, career-spanning compilation, which he has done. For me, it remains also a worry that Bowie, being the master he is, might be showing signs of a magnificent career of legendary music coming to a conclusion. Obviously, it's bound to happen some day, however The Next Day does suggest a great deal of ambition andIt's been long desired by many fans that Bowie should release a big, career-spanning compilation, which he has done.

Obviously, it's bound to happen some day, however The Next Day does suggest a great deal of ambition and determination still to come.
    The compilations are great, with all the greatest songs of all the albums arranged in neat, clean order, however the Single (Sue) remains for me a song not worth buying the 3rd disc for. Otherwise, its a great compilation.

    Completists will enjoy having the single edits of many tracks and the sound is sparklingly good. [Jan 2015, p.112]

    It's a great way of refreshing an often overly familiar catalogue. [Jan 2015, p.124]

    Nothing Has Changed makes his entire discography sound more consistent than it actually is. [No. 116, p.52]
