Until OUTSIDE, this was the best of the Eno-Bowie collaborations. It features the ever-smooth Carlos Alomar and Adrian Belew, who gives that slightly deranged edge to the guitar. Unlike LOW and HEROES it doesn't go ambient on the back side, and retains it's edge throughout.

I was very surprised the first time I heard Lodger (right after I bought the CD). These songs are not "OK" as expressed in a David Bowie book I have, but wonderful! His talent shines in every one of these songs! Get it before it's too late!

This is third and final album in the Eno trilogy. However, Bowie was clearly more in control here. Gone are the instrumentals, and in come ten vocal tracks. Of course, Eno is all over this record. Listen to African Night Flight and Yassasin and Eno quirky influence is easy to hear. Somehow, Bowie managed to weave some songs in between the strange rhythms and clicks, and it really works. I'd listen to African Night Flight just for those crazy crickets.
Apart from the tracks that were singles at the time (Boys Keep Swinging and DJ) there are other Bowie diamonds here. Red Sails is wonderful - and includes an unedited guitar solo where Carlos Alomar badly flubs and then recovers - wonderful!
Red money is also a great track. Actually, after all these years, Repetition becomes a favorite of mine also. Never have I heard a song about domestic violence that so clearly displays the monotonous life of a frustrated man - and his casual disregard of his wife. This is highlighted by a dead-pan delivery from Bowie, and an annoying buzz for a melody. It really works.
Add to that Move On and Look Back in Anger and I find I have mentioned every track on thew album. Which illustrates the high regard I have for this work. Even at the time it was released it was another Bowie effort that refused to comply with the thinking of popular music at the time. It still doesn't.
I can't imagine a Bowie fan won't find a lot to like here.

this is one of bowie's truly forgotten records. and that's a shame because it includes "move on", a song that makes me go "WOW". it also includes insane stuff like "african night flight" which makes me get all itchy. in a good way.

"Lodger," the third entry in the Bowie/Eno trilogy during the late '70s, is driven by some elusive, yet powerful, force. After twenty years, it has lost none of its edge for me. Unlike many other Bowie efforts--even the great ones--Lodger seems unaffected and determined to be an entity unto itself. Each song is a classic--not in the conventional sense--but in its timeless and vivid urgency. Bowie's career has been one of many apexes, but this may well be the highest he's ever gone in sheer fidelity to his own creativity.
