[60/100]
26/10/2014, Paul PLEDGER
Heralding another career-spanning Best Of compilation is this curveball show-tune that sounds more like Scott Walker than Bowie. But then what does David Bowie really sound like - the man is an entity, an enigma who defines his own path rather than waiting for others to guide him. Sue isn't the easiest of tracks to listen to and is as far from The Next Day album as you could wish to get. It's 8 minutes long, sounds like a freeform extract by Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman or Buddy Rich on heavy acid, rolled into a Kurt Weill vignette best served loud.
