Lodger's great, in my opinion. It gets nowhere near the accolades that Low and "Heroes" receive, and it's the most accessible of the Berlin Trilogy, but it's still a hugely absorbing listen. There's more of world music influence on it compared to the other two, and I think its slightly softer sound represents a perfect end to his German adventures. He clearly came out of the experience reinvigorated, and Lodger is an album brimming with contentment, despite the concept of a lonely drifter.

Lodger and Scary Monsters are, of the ones I've heard, two of my least favorite Bowie albums
