Now, as then, Lodger has always been one of Bowie's very best albums. There are some very strange experimental songs, some essays in irony, and some of the artist's very best rockers. Depite "Boys Keep Swinging" and "D.J.," which were the first two singles, the two that cook are "Red Sails" and "Look Back in Anger." Except for "Ashes to Ashes," nothing on Scary Monsters is as good as these tracks. On the now-out-of-print Ryko version, there was a bonus track from the Lodger sessions called "I Pray, Ole," which is lyrically embarrassing, but one of the most finger-snapping, catchy things Bowie's ever recorded. In this manner, it reminds one of two of the bonus tracks on the Ryko Man Who Sold the World: "Lightning Frightening" and "Holy Holy." In its overall feel, Lodger approximates what I think is Bowie's best ever album, which is -- not Ziggy Stardust, but -- Diamond Dogs.Read full review
Perhaps the most interesting part of David Bowie's career, the last of the Berlin Trilogy, Lodger has a collection of songs which define his ever-changing sound. This is the Ryko release with the bonus tracks!!!
