Dec 3, 2017This album seems unfinished, but cuz of circumstances its stil a nice attempt -- really strong mark in Bowie's journey and testimony how he was able to renew himself and stay relevant till the very end.

MagnetMar 30, 2016Kudos to producer Tony Visconti and the tight jazz team around them for making Blackstar dynamic. If Bowie indeed knew time was tight and death’s release was imminent, this treatise to magic and loss is a gorgeous way to say goodbye. [No. 129, p.52]

The WireFeb 18, 2016It is a fine, unnerving album. [Mar 2016, p.45]
