Agreed.
Nope. Just accept that you have listened to all of his good albums and you will never listen to another great David Bowie album for the first time ever again.
It's not bad, but I hate to say it: It's try hard. I hate to say it about this man, but he was trying too hard to distance himself from the 80s. Even calling it "Outside" is try hard. During this period he called the 80s his "Phil Collins" period, and tried throwing poor Phil under the bus to cover for his own shit. It's a bitch move.
Songs are wayyyy too long.
If he cut a couple of tracks, and cut the length of at least 7 songs, it would be regarded as good as all his 70s albums.
They actually cover 2 tracks from outside in starship troopers with different lyrics, and you can hear how catchy they are.
The concept and lyrics got in way of the songs.
I love how on the voyeur of utter destruction at the end when it's beginning to fade out and the lyric switches and blends from today to TE-TE, it's one of my favorite Bowie moments.
It's kind of bloated and not every track sticks the landing, but I love the sound. Earthling is more consistent.
It's an album you'd only ever want to listen to once.
>I'm Deraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanged
It's not really underrated among his fans though, most consider it to be among his best work
tes... testing, testing
true
It's David Bowie putting 110% into a project when he only needed to do like 80%. Better trying too hard than not at all.
Yeah its fantastic
Earthling doesn't have Carlos Alomar bringing the funk so it's automatically worse
bump
either bowie exposed himself as the most out of touch boomer in the biz with this 'graphic design is my passion' shit or he predicted postironic memes 20 years before they appeared everywhere
Heart's Filthy Lesson one of the best songs of all time
The concept is kinda gay. Some decent tunes tho
He was pretty much a proto vtuber.
I always figured he did them himself but they're credited to "Denovo" apparently. High art in 1995.
It's not called "Outside", it's called "1. Outside".
>lyrics got in way of the songs.
Why are there people on here who don't know what "song" means?
