Lodger is the most underrated by far compared to Buddha of Suburbia and 1.Outside. I haven't even got my shipment of 1.Outside yet and I am thinking of getting Aladdin Sane instead.

Lodger's mix is rubbish though.

This album is his best from the 90s.

This finally clicked with me when I heard it last year, solid album even if the concept is all over the place. It's one of the great shames in the music world that we'll never hear a part 2 or 3.

I wonder why he didn't continue it... Does anyone know the story behind that?



And "I Have Not Been To Oxford Town" is such a jam.

Since Scary Monsters, I'd rank it Blackstar > 1. Outside > The Next Day =/> Earthling > Heathen > Reality > The rest.

I'm not sure why he didn't continue it to be honest, he'd planned to do a few more albums based around the concept before the turn of the century and then he just decided to do Earthling instead. There could be more to it than that but even after Earthling him and Brian Eno were on good terms so it can't have been a fall out or "creative differences".



Who knows.

Was Outside initially poorly received when it first came out? Maybe that's why he decided to back off of it?

That could be it actually, but then again Earthling was even more poorly received at the time.

Outside wasn't exactly showered with praise, but it was well-received - I believe Bowie ditched 2. Contamination and the third album was because he didn't know exactly how to continue the story, though he did say it probably would result in Nathan's death or whatever.

Damn, thanks for the info Tuna and Fripp! Earthling was pretty great too, I think it's aged really well.

I've always considered this to be a lost gem of an album from Bowie. Easily his best of the 90's for me. Hallo Spaceboy, Hearts Filthy Lesson, I'm Deranged... awesome.

Yeah, something like that for me to around 7-8 I think. He has so many albums, I'd have to look over all of them. I know this places my favorite album he's made between scary monsters and blackstar

Cut out the interludes and Wishful Beginnings, and you get one of Bowie's best post-70's album. However with all the 19 tracks its pretty damn bloated.
