Album Notes & Community Reviews
'Earthling' captures David Bowie actively engaging with the frenetic tempos of 90s jungle and drum and bass. The album is incredibly energetic and dense, blending his signature art rock with harsh industrial textures and anxious, rhythmic, and highly futuristic urban beats.
