I don't get what Bowie's estate gets out of siding with PPL on this.

"Heroes" is stronger if you want songs: Low basically doesn't have any. You know it's rough sledding when your lead single is "Sound and Vision" (fourteen lines of lyrics, and no chorus) because it's the only thing on the disc (along with "Be My Wife") that even resembles a pop song. It's mainly compositions and fragments.
But Low's instrumental side is better. "Warszawa" thru "Subterraneans" gives Side B a nice arc, while "Heroes" has a slight sense of fizzling out at the end. And I think Low has to get points because it came first.
Both are amazing; among the best things he ever did.
