  The Lodger In Us All   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
David Bowie's 1979 album, Lodger, was his third and final "Berlin" collaboration (the trio of albums recorded in Berlin) with Roxy Music's Brian Eno.
Lodger's second side, however, alters those statements towards the gloomy for a much darker look at life.
Bowie reaffirms "Fantastic Voyage's" theme of the roles that men play later in the album (this time with a blue-collar twist) on "Repetition," a droning, but focused review of a wife-beating worker ("well Johnny is a man and he's bigger than her.

 David Bowie : Lodger - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
On the surface, Lodger is the most accessible of the three Berlin-era records David Bowie made with Brian Eno, simply because there are no instrumentals and there are a handful of concise pop songs.
Nevertheless, Lodger is still gnarled and twisted avant pop; what makes it different is how it incorporates such experimental tendencies into genuine songs, something that Low and Heroes purposely avoided.
Lodger has an edgier, more minimalistic bent than its two predecessors, which makes it more accessible for rock fans, as well as giving it a more immediate, emotional impact.

 Lodger (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lodger is an album by British singer-songwriter David Bowie, released in 1979.
Lead guitar on the album was played not by Robert Fripp, as on "Heroes", but by Fripp’s future King Crimson bandmate, Adrian Belew.
The album has been rereleased twice to date on CD, the first being in 1991 by Rykodisc (containing two bonus tracks) and the second in 1999 by EMI (featuring 24-bit digitally remastered sound and no bonus tracks).

 Ground and Sky review - David Bowie - Lodger
Lodger features zero instrumentals and isn't as 'groundbreaking' as the first two entries Low and Heroes, but is art rock at its finest, nonetheless.
Even the most monotonous song on the album, an oblique domestic violence tale with a dull, stabbing bass riff called "Repetition," is supposed to be monotonous.
With Lodger, Bowie was still finding a way to push the limits of musical expression while retaining an accessible appeal, and I honestly can't think of one track on here I don't like.

 Game Play Online | Entertainment News - David Bowie's Berlin Trilogy: Low, "Heroes", & Lodger   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
David Bowie's experimental Berlin Trilogy of albums was initially released in 1977 and 1979.
Lodger thereby received much criticism from contemporaries for being too disjointed and unfocused due to the fact that nearly every track on the album is completely different from the next in tone and mood.
This album is the most upbeat of the three, with the same strong, driving drumlines and complementary bass lines employed by the first two albums throughout.

LODGER (1979) was third in Bowie's Berlin trilogy, his collaboration with legendary producer/experimentalist Brian Eno,which began with HEROES and LOW (both released in 1977).
However, on "The Lodger" each song is hard to listen to and seems devoid of any real soul or direction; you won't go away from this album humming any of the tunes.
This album may be rewarding for others, but was a real disapointment for me. Perhapse on further listenings i may see what other reveiwers see, but for now i will say this is only really for Bowie completists.

The strength of this album therefore lies in your enjoyment of these singles and how much you take to the terrifically weird numbers such as the rapid-fire ‘African Night Flight’ and the caustic ‘Repetition.’ As for the rest, well, it is all filler and consistently poor.
Quite obviously the least successful track on this album, what we have here is a case of wanton studio trickery disguising the absence of a decent melody or any inspiration whatsoever.
It is almost as though they all realise this album is a stinker, so just crank this one out to fill the album, unaware they have managed to create one of the highlights of the record.

 Rolling Stone : Lodger : Review
David Bowie's albums are non events, though given the aura he insists on, they're halfheartedly presented as such: time and again, ideas are run up the flagpole, but try and find the flagpole.
Lodger might have been an event, if only as a record we would someday look back on as work that mapped the territory between past and future.
This is an aesthetic that, when it works, combines a retreat into art with an affirmation of the world one has retreated from; it's an aesthetic that holds life in reserve, and to hear it in action can be transporting.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : David Bowie
It's a confusing album for me, a record that seems to have considerable hidden depths, yet ultimately, these self-same hidden depths appear to be all cloak and daggers.
This is David Bowie on his eighth album sounding as fresh and exhilarated as someone giving it their all on their first: ten minutes of absolute genius.
We remember this album for the singles and for one fabulous summer in the 80s when it seemed wherever you went thats 'Let's Dance' was on the radio.

 Rykodisc Catalog - Lodger - David Bowie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The orchestrations of LODGER were chosen at random from a chart of favorite chords on the flboard; and "Boys Keep Swinging" achieved its garage-band sound by making the musicians switch instruments, often to things that they weren't sure how to play.
Though this was easily the most upbeat of the three Berlin albums, songs like "Red Money" (which uses the instrumental track from Iggy Pop's "Sister Midnight") and "Look Back in Anger" provided plenty of dark edges.
And though it's the most pop-sounding album of this period, songs like "African Night Flight" and "Yassassin" made use of a wide variety of world-music influences.

 Amazon.com: Lodger: Music: David Bowie   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
To me, Lodger is right up there with Station to Station, Scary Monsters, etc. I have always thought that the late 70's marked the apogee of Bowie's career, where he was at once leading and transcending the New Wave then in vogue by inventing new sounds and new ways to rock out.
This is the final album in which David Bowie and Brain Eno collaborated and it is by far the more accessible of the three.
Just as it is more accessible than the previous Berlin albums, it is also much darker in its subject matter(Just take a glance at the cover art, where Bowie appears to be lying dead/incapacitated on the sterile floor of a morgue).

It's hard to pinpoint which of Bowie's albums deserves the title "greatest"...there was a period from 1970 to 1980 where pretty much everything he released was an instant classic.
"Lodger" is the third and final collaboration between David Bowie and Brian Eno in the 1970s.
Recorded two years after the landmark "Low" and "Heroes" albums, "Lodger" does not quite live up to the legacy the previous two albums allowed for it, as though taking time out of the studio to tour somehow derailed the Bowie/Eno partnership a bit.

 Comments for David Bowie - Lodger - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
While I agree that Lodger is a good album, with more original ideas in each song than rock has produced in some years, it's never struck me the way the other two Berlin albums did.
I have a theory that his demise was foreshadowed by the Lodger album, and that the cause of this 'demise', as I'll rather dramatically call it, is roughly similar to an artist coming to 'know' what he's doing.
Lodger was my intro to the man, and it stands the test of time; "I'm not a moody guy".

 Lodger by David Bowie CD
LODGER (1979) was third in Bowie's Berlin trilogy, his collaboration with legendary producer/experimentalist Brian Eno, which began with HEROES and LOW (both released in 1977).
While those dark records were heavy on alien-sounding instrumentals, LODGER had none, and even contained songs that seemed relatively straightforward.
At times manically playfull, it sounds as though Bowie is blowing the dust from his voice after the preceding, better known albums.

In 1995 Bowie released Outside, a complex album that is best understood as both a reflection of fin de siècle anxiety and a critical commentary on the state of the visual arts at the end of millennium.
The album was produced with the assistance of Brian Eno who had worked with Bowie previously on the experimental trilogy of Low, Heroes, and Lodger produced in the late 1970s.
These three albums are often referred to as the “Berlin trilogy” as they were recorded in sequence at the Hansa By The Wall Studios in Berlin.

In my opinion, 'Heroes,' the album, has always been rather overlooked; the spotlight being stolen by it's sister, 'Low.' And while 'Low' is most definitely a masterpiece, 'Heroes' is an excellent work in it's own right and deserves re-evaluation.
It's a wild runaway-train of an album, by an artist who was always far ahead of his time.
Though Bowie laments about his highroad gone wrong in the opening track of this album, the general consensus is that his better music requires some insanity on the side.

The first part of a loosely affiliated trilogy (Heroes and Lodger were to follow), Low is in part a synthesis of 1970's disco, funk and New Wave as well as a brave foray in to wordless electronic ambience.
I like how the album uses the first lyrical songs as a general introduction to the sound scapes, which are the emphasis on the album.

 LODGER
Calling it punk rock misses the point, since Bowie was working independent of external influences; more than likely this was just a natural evolution from cutting and pasting lyrics to cutting and pasting music.
Lodger must have been a bracing slap to some, especially anyone who saw early videos created for “Boys Keep Swinging” and “D.J.” This was intentionally confrontational art, like Scary Monsters an album anticipating a revolution that never came.
It’s a disturbing album because Bowie has intentionally disturbed the music-making process, inverting the songs so that the original attractive exterior is wrapped in the ugly interior (Eno had apparently tried something similar with Before And After Science).
