Bring Me The Disco King\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYouth, as the old adage goes, is wasted on the young, although surely Reality highlights the ambiguously chameleonic and now comfortably middle-aged David Bowie as an honourable exception to the rule, a man whose soul and creative metre endures to pursue eternal youth within the accelerating self-awareness of his own mortality. Times were when he'd never get away with it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn recent years Bowie has had a frustrating tendency to handle his own past with varying degrees of bemusement--whether to suffer it, stroke it, spit on it or merely borrow from it (some of Reality's best tracks, the quasi-political \"Fall Dog Bomb the Moon\" and the electronic punk of \"New Killer Star\", both shadow his past while exploring the neurosis of our post-9\/11 world) while, in a manner most unbecoming of one of rock's most eminent pace-makers, he's chased juvenescent pop fads like some Botox-injecting fashionista. However, Reality, much like its immediate predecessor, the highly-regarded Heathen (Tony Visconti remains at the production helm), finds Bowie reacclimatising to his muse and his life--both as an Englishman in New York and as a doomed rider on the proverbial storm of existence--just beautifully. There are home truths and cognitive mirror gazes on the title track, a sleazy roughed-up diamond with Johnny Rotten-ish cackles and squawky guitars on which he casts a conciliatory glance towards his previous rock \u0026amp; roll personae and despairs at how he \"hid amongst the junk of wretched highs\" whereas the equally excellent and morbidly cheery \"Never Get Old\" (musically, imagine a more flippantly sing-along \"Sound and Vision\") is as comically fatalistic as a two-fingered salute from a retirement home window.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite cracking a wicked smile on a rampant strut through Jonathan Richman's \"Pablo Picasso\", Reality favours brooding philosophising over light-hearted chuckles--see \"Looking for Water\", the dramatic grand piano and images of dislocated metropolitan topography on the 'Loneliest Guy\" and the sullen dying breath of \"Bring Me the Disco King\"--but Bowie admits to being just like the rest of us in not having the answers. Still, Reality consolidates Bowie's artistic rehabilitation and ranks as another fine album from a man still willing to ask questions of himself. --Kevin Maidment\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/david-bowie\" title=\"Click to see complete listing of David Bowie\"\u003eDavid Bowie\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for complete listing)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/es\/pages\/search-results-page?q=David+Bowie+Reality\" title=\"Click to see more products with the title Reality\"\u003e Reality\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more of the same title)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear of Release\u003c\/strong\u003e - 2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e - CD album (CDLP)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord Label\u003c\/strong\u003e - Sony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue No\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/es\/pages\/search-results-page?q=5125552\" title=\"Click to see more products with the catalogue number 5125552\"\u003e5125552\u003c\/a\u003e (click link for more)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/uk-imports\" title=\"Click to see more items from United Kingdom (UK)\"\u003eUnited Kingdom (UK)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage\u003c\/strong\u003e - Regardless of country of origin all tracks are sung in English, unless otherwise stated in our description.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional info\u003c\/strong\u003e - Sealed, Picture Sleeve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e - \u003ca href=\"\/es\/pages\/search-results-page?q=5099751255529\" title=\"Click to see more items with the barcode 5099751255529\"\u003e5099751255529\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e - Factory sealed from new.
