Lodger (studio album) by David Bowie

I don't like most of the tracks on this record, but DJ is good in my opinion.

This album has grown on me a little since I first heard it but it is still the weakest of the Berlin trilogy in my opinion. I think this record does take a few listens to properly get over the initial weirdness but after that it is quite melodic and rhythmic. I have definitely started to enjoy it more and found most songs to be pretty decent. It is subtly dark and does a great job at building an atmosphere with the unique and diverse instrumentation. There are quite a few hidden gems on this release as well which I keep finding every time I come back. However, there are still a few tracks which are a little bit dull and I still can't really get into. Also, there are no real songs which completely blow me away. Overall, a good record that demonstrates just how consistent David Bowie's discography is.

Entre seguir a onda e produzir tendências.

I am a HUGE David Bowie fan. I make a point to listen to every one of his albums at least once a year. (In fact, for several years I would play all of his albums, in order, starting on his birthday. Then he died, and it hurt too much Sad )

Lodger is often thought of as the poor relative in the Berlin Trilogy, but I really like it. The rhythmic-ness (is that a word) that goes through the whole album is fantastic, and the quartet of stand-out tracks. - D.J., Look Back in Anger, Boys Keep Swinging & Repetition - towards the end rank this album up there with his best.

Was never very fond of this record, just a little too out there for me.

Good record.

How come no one talks about this album? It's a perfect mix of the darkness from his late 70s records and his upcoming pop sound

Bowie’s take on the beginning of new wave music using sounds from all over the world. Fantastic Voyage is a great deep cut. DJ & Boys Keep Swinging are also very strong. A fine conclusion to the Berlin Trilogy.

Disco dai tanti colori senza che questo risulti nauseante, anzi; si balla ( "D.J." ), si canta, si riflette ( "Fantastic vojage" ). Uno dei dischi di Bowie che più ho amato e che non mi stanco mai di sentire.
