...reviews of long collections of music often get a few people who can't quite get over the need to try out many different emotions. Does "Buechner" have moments of melancholy? Well, sure! Do you think "Flash In Your Eyes" should be a peppy dance number?
The truth is that the longer a release is, and the wider the thematic breadth is, the harder it becomes to pidgeonhole. So "Motorcycle" is the "most nostalgic", "Darn Floor Big Bite" is the most angular and "Bibleland" is the "angriest"... You can assign them to those discs and you're at least in the ballpark. But you have to work hard to back MBD in the corner, which is why it is my favorite.
As for the Bowie reference, I think it's mostly due to Terry's sing-speak delivery, which is odd. I would have claimed Lou Reed or Robbie Robertson more than David Bowie, but there you go. The reviewer obviously listened hard to the disc and he wrote a review that clearly defines his opinion of the disc. But I do believe that the assignment was a hard one and that may have caused the reviewer to recoil a bit.
Just an opinion.

Interesting observation. It is a hard one to take in, and worth the effort.
Now to BDasso, where did you find that picture? That made me laugh pretty hard.
Hey, anyone else have the 7&7 is "More Miserable" disc? Now here's an interesting re-burp of a lot of songs, that Mike passed off as a solo album of sorts? If I'd not heard all of the other stuff I'd say "wow" what an album. But I can't help but feel the guy was grasping at straws.
(heh heh heh)

I would agree with your Lou Reed comment
or even sort of a Lenord Cohen approach on some songs
and EVERY reviewer is opinionated- we know that
I did tend to think he was a bit smattered on his thoughts, and wanted to give Terry an overall good grade- so to speak....it was interesting.
BTW- Let me say in review,.. nah, just kidding.
