After first listen, this is severely underrated. Better than "Heroes" and most of his 70's output

>Better than "Heroes"
Are you fucking kidding?
>>60577644
Apart from the first track and Heroes, the album doesn't do a lot for me. None of its instrumental tracks are as good as Low's. Now granted I've only listened to it once about an hour ago, but I enjoyed it a lot more than "Heroes" as a whole
My stepfather looks just like David Bowie
>>60578499
Too bad he isn't your real father, could've had his looks.
>>60579287
"looks"
the album's 35 minutes long, 5 minutes of that is a remake of a song off The Idiot, 3 minutes is a remake of fantastic voyage.
so you have all of 27 minutes worth of new songs, none of which are exactly grade A bowie, especially when compared to heroes and low.
it has some good moments and yeah it's underrated in a lot of ways, but there's a reason people don't like this album.

>this is severely underrated
No it really isn't. If anything, it's overrated.

I think Lodger rules, and my stepdad's a fool.
Nothing will top 1. Outside as the most underrated and fucking weird bowie album
>>60577331
no, it's literally one of his worst from the 70s
if it wasn't released in his prime no one would give a shit
>>60581200
Outside is one of Bowie's finest moments. I can't fucking understand why it is so unappreciated.
Lodger isn't underrated, or even overrated for that matter. It's just as regarded as it needs to be; a good album but definitely the weakest of the trilogy.
Fantastic Voyage is one of his best songs.

Okay theres 5 eras you generalize with Bowie
1. Glam Bowie, this means Ziggy/Diamond Dogs/Hunky Dory/TMWSTW etc. definitely the most circlejerked era amongst normies, dadrockers and 16 year old girls who wear Aladdin Sane shirts
2.Berlin Bowie, this means the Berlin Trilogy+Scary Monsters and Station to Station/Young Americans as a prologue, the most circlejerked era amongst music enthusiasts and the most "critically acclaimed" era
3. Pop Bowie, Lets Dance+Never Let Me Down+Tonight and shit like that, gets righteously shoved to the side for being bollocks (except some of Lets Dance) but hey at least we got some cool flims
4. 90's Bowie, is where you get proper underrated, Outside/Earthling/Hours etc., my theory on why this gets so little love is because his music was so incoherent and would wildly change with each album, one year his fanbase would be industrial NiN fans, the other would be people who like New Jack Swing type music, he just wouldnt fucking stop changing, thus why things like 1. Outside which was his most bizarre era fell into obscurity
5. Neo-Bowie, Heathen+Reality+Next Day+Blackstar, is this very nicely fused saga with Bowie sounding like Bowie, I think TND and Heathen had a nice reaction that dwindled away after a bit, and now blackstar is the new hotness
Hes an absolutely bloody chameleon

I really like this version of The Last Thing You Should Do
>>60581436
Earthling is an insane album, I adore it.
Little Wonder is probably one of my favourite Bowie songs.
that album is a meme because "DUDE ITS LITERALLY DEATH GRIPS LMAO"
>>60577669
Joe the Lion and Blackout are Bowie's two best songs.
