KalaM.I.A.

Rated 8/10

Well, that was unique. I now understand M.I.A.s appeal is her production, not her lyrics. She's actually quite talented.

It was fine. I appreciate the bravado without violence or sex and that the queen staked her place, but it's not something I would choose to listen to.

What I can do for you should have been the breakout single. All I wanna do remains a disaffected anthem, the rest of the album has way too much of the worst instrument: steel guitar.

I wasn't impressed on first listen, I expect wild innovation from Bowie. But second time around I realized how refined and elevated his song writing became. What a wonderful album.

Rated 6/10

The vocals are trying way too hard. It does not feel authentic. Would be better served with a Deep Purple vocal style. The rest is nice metal sound.
