The Germanic feel of this album is not surprising, as David Bowie recorded it in Berlin during his period of infatuation with the city. HEROES is a much more lively affair than LOW and has the benefit of a title track that remains one of Bowie's finest songs, in addition to excellent contributions from Robert Fripp and Brian Eno.
The thick, mysterious textures of "Beauty and the Beast" set the tone for the rest of the album. The Eno-influenced "Sense of Doubt" is the flip side to the majestic "Heroes"--dark and moody, as is "Neukoln". But, despite (or perhaps because of) the charged atmosphere of doom and gloom, this is a seminal Bowie album.

"Heroes" has certainly been an enduring hit, persisting long after its release and even being released as an X-factor charity single, but the rest of the album has been overlooked despite its evident merit.
"Beauty and the beast" showcases Bowie in his best, nearly cat-like vocal prime, and "Joe the lion" is not as cute as the title would suggest.

i bought this album just because it had the longer version of heroes but was surprised that there was some very good songs on here. beauty and the beast is a great song but there is also some great rocky songs with a whole lot of grunt that you dont normally associate with david bowie, an ok album worth a listen at least.
