I dropped off Bowie just after Heathen. Listening to this, I forgot how inspiring his music is. Been catching up w/ the next day right now and it's just straight up quality.

Off topic but i have to say that Lodger has just the best album cover.

Peel posted:I didn't used to listen to much music. Earlier this month I remembered Bowie had died recently and I had been intrigued by the Blackstar video (my first exposure to him save Space Oddity, if you can believe), so I listened to more of the album, and now having gone through a lot of his history and a dozen other artists it's still the work that appeals most to me. I especially love 'Lazarus'. Try 1. Outside. It's like Blackstar's older, weirder cousin. It feels and sounds like the 90s but it's aged relatively well compared to some of his other stuff.

sticklefifer posted:Outside is my overall favorite Bowie album from front to back. There are many tracks through his catalog that I absolutely love more individually, but very few albums have such a full volume of great songs. Admittedly I usually skip the segue tracks due to having heard the story dozens of times (except I Am With Name since it contains a song), but it tries so many things and succeeds at most of them while being something completely new - who else fuses avant-garde jazz with industrial rock? I've been listening to it a lot lately and although my tastes have shifted over the years, I consider The Voyeur of Utter Destruction (As Beauty) the best track on there. It's every sound he's going for on that album contained in one song. I was listening to that album while i was getting over the flu recently and Voyeur sounds amazing with a head full of theraflu. Beautiful song.
