Album Review

Repeating the formula of "Low"'s half-vocal/half-instrumental structure, "Heroes" develops and strengthens the sonic innovations Bowie and Eno explored on their first collaboration. The vocal songs are fuller, boasting harder rhythms and deeper layers of sound. Much of the harder-edged sound of "Heroes" is due to Robert Fripp's guitar, which provides a muscular foundation for the electronics, especially on the relatively conventional rock songs. Similarly, the instrumentals on "Heroes" are more detailed, this time showing a more explicit debt to German synth-pop and European experimental rock & roll. Essentially, the difference between "Low" and "Heroes" lies in the details, but the record is equally challenging and groundbreaking. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
