Album Notes & Community Reviews

The final installment of his legendary Berlin Trilogy with Brian Eno, 'Lodger' finds David Bowie largely abandoning cold electronics for incredibly eclectic, highly manic worldbeat experiments. Featuring Adrian Belew's wildly unconventional guitar work, the album is a wonderfully playful, deeply rhythmic, and beautifully cryptic art-rock puzzle.
