虽说《Heathen》是一次有意思的回归尝试，但只有头脑发热的人才会把它和David Bowie70年代的代表作相提并论。不过对于这位55岁高龄还在不断尝试新音乐，不断试图突破自身的摇滚"变色龙"来说，勇气和努力本身就成为一种让人尊敬的符号。Tony Visconti的制作人潜质在这张专辑里得到了比较淋漓尽致的发挥。'Heathen'因而显示出自己的某种伪试验色彩，不过这也比David Bowie晚期热衷的时髦Techno摇滚要强上n倍。 Heathen is the 22nd studio album by English rock musician David Bowie, released in 2002. It was considered a comeback for him in the US market; it was his highest charting album (#14) since Tonight (1984), and earned some of his strongest reviews since Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) (1980). Worldwide, it sold over two million copies and experienced a four-month run on the UK charts. Although its production had started before September 11 attacks in 2001, the album was finished after that date, which ended up influencing its concept.
