Current Events > David Bowie's album Earthling was seriously underrated

(+) Yeah! (+)

It was a very edgy 90's album, but it had some solid fucking music behind it. The album went pretty hard, but it also took the time to establish some really nice sonic landscapes.

It was also a step up from his last album, 1. Outside. It had some edgy tunes, even a few listenable ones like We Prick You, but even those songs feel a bit barebones compared to what Earthling would contain. 1. Outside has its fans, but I think it's one of Bowie's worst records - or if nothing else, it's around my least favorite albums, personally.

Earthling rocks, even if the younger crowd balked at Bowie's age and the older crowd called him a sellout at the time. The 90's weren't kind to Bowie, but of any of his albums from the time, I think this one drew the shortest straw. This was an album where he ditched the characters, and he decided to go full rock. And I think it kicks ass.

Agreed great album. I'm Afraid of Americans is probably my favorite song from it.

One last shout-out for Bowie's most underrated 90's album!

I like it the most out of the 90s albums, personally, but that doesn't say that much tbh.
