Friends, Earthling is a great album. I'll not hear anything against it.

Re: The David Bowie is God Thread
The songs are great and can definitely stand on their own, but there's a bit of a double bonus for me as a drum & bass fan. The whole thing has a great texture and mood.

Re: The David Bowie is God Thread
I remember a lot of people at the time badmouthing the album as a failed attempt at drum & bass, but it has held up a lot stronger than many of the contemporaries.
I’d argue it’s as underrated as a 90s Bowie release as Lodger was as a 70s one.

I also remember a lot of people making the claim at that time that he was becoming a follower instead of a leader or pioneer. Which totally forgets the fact that he followed Philly soul and krautrock among other styles already. He'd always been a follower, it's not news.Wolter wrote: ↑04 Mar 2021, 4:18pmI remember a lot of people at the time badmouthing the album as a failed attempt at drum & bass, but it has held up a lot stronger than many of the contemporaries.

Re: The David Bowie is God Thread
Yeah, his main ability even at his peak was Early Adopter and Bringer To the Mainstream. And he was 50! How many 50 year olds in the mid 90s were doing anything beyond re-recording their greatest hits as acoustic songs or releasing mediocre albums trying to sound like they did when they were 30?Kory wrote: ↑04 Mar 2021, 4:26pmI also remember a lot of people making the claim at that time that he was becoming a follower instead of a leader or pioneer.
