| | RollingStone.com: Earthling : David Bowie : Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Bowie may have been the headliner of 1995's dream billing, but like most of the fans who went to the shows, it seems he was there primarily to catch the opening act. |
 | | Gone are the spoken interludes and overblown avant-garde flourishes that marred Outside; instead, the tracks on Earthling are linked only by the power of the turbocharged guitars, the energy and intensity of the skittering drum-and-bass rhythms, the spiritual-technological tug of war in the lyrics and Bowie's signature baritone croon. |
 | | Earthling doesn't break any new ground, but it certainly captures the mood of contemporary popular culture from the anguish of American industrial rock to the ecstasy of British dance music. |
