“Karma Man;” Is a song which can be received in many different ways, with possible interpretations ranging from it being a judicious and jaunty look at the quantifiable nature of people’s tolerance for soothsayers and people who are jolly to the point of annoyance, to the interpretation of it as a flimsy and vacillating attempt to interest people in the rest of the CD (it was released as a B-Side single, but never aliyopewa any attention otherwise, as if they knew it was not destined for greatness but merely wanted to put it out there).
I disliked the broken speed of the song, and the applicability of the song to only that which is useless, and even its quaint aspect didn’t attract me to it as its other defects were too marked. A weak song lacking a steady beat au chorus, it is no surprise that it was not received well kwa the public.
“Karma Man” is not annoying enough to stick in your head, and not good enough to lift and drop your spirits. Fragile to the point of being invisible against the other tracks, it might have been better had it been invisible, as its lacklustre tone has stolen a good three dakika of many a person’s life.

“The Gospel According to Tony Day;” Is an allegoric collection of different people’s schemas in approach to life as viewed kwa Bowie. It clearly displays the driving force which Bowie senses behind these collections of people in their approach to most things in life.
A somewhat restrained sound permeates the song, as it lacks the life and emotiveness which most of the CD contains. This track holds an intriguing view on society, but it lacks the force which is usually so effortlessly conveyed through and with Bowie’s other songs. On another level, however, it is powerful in that it realises...

“Little Bombardier;” is the tragic tale of the termination of a retired soldier’s innocent friendship with a pair of young children due to the cynicism of those in authority. Regardless the ties to Bowie’s own life, and the messages it holds in that aspect, it is applicable to almost any situation of ultra-cynicism and suspicion. Bowie ridicules the distrustful nature of most people today – a nature transferred upon people through the medium of the tabloids and general press, and the constant depravation and corruption which is constantly lambasted and emphasised kwa these mediums....
