KylarLOct 27, 2006Finally a return. This most definitely is his best work since Let's Dance. Let's hope for more along this quality.

LodiJSep 19, 2003Everyone is freakin nuts, they judge bowie way too hard. All his 90's albums were great, and this one really kicks ass as well!

FourSkinOct 31, 2004I bought the version with the DVD. It works as well live as does in the studio. So much for the layering. His band is fantastic. I always like Bowie music best when its got a kickarse bass played by a kickarse bass player.

Jul 20, 2015Obra-Prima!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Incluindo a Bonus Track "Fly".......... Super Álbum mas é um exagero dizerem que é o melhor álbum desde o Scary Monsters 1980.........
Sendo que Let's Dance (1983),Never Let Me Down (1987),Earthling (1997) e principalmente 'Hours...' 1999 é obras-primas de Bowie -

HowardPSep 24, 2003Terrific! Brought the album with me on a trip to Middle East and have been humming songs from it for past 2 weeks. I haven't done that to Bowie for a few years! Can't wait for the SACD surround version in October! WooHoo!

NseEDec 14, 2003Very good cd which just gets better with each spin. Standouts include 'New killer star' (which is a killer), 'Pablo Picasso' 9Great guitar finale), 'Never grow old', 'Looking for water', 'Days' and 'Bring me the disco king' which has a jazzy feel and reminds me of 'Wild is the wind'. Fab outing from the thin white duke.

MarcPSep 17, 2003awesome again... different from heathen in a very nice way... buy it now

DarrylGSep 22, 2003Sweet God in Heaven this Star is a Killer. Praise all who not only think of what could have been but rather what is ...and those who dwell in the day still to come. Bowie will rock me from my cradle to my grave!

QBrickSep 25, 2003More energetic and more rough than Heathen, Bowie more and more gets in contact with own self again.

TaraTrueSep 17, 2003You Must Listen to His Songs More Than ONCE...You must be intelligent to get his music. Not everyone will get it..not everyone has...He is unique and that is why we LOVE him. I like this Album more than Heathen. The more I listen...the more I will appreciate it just like Ive been doing for 32 years.

RodPSep 19, 2003Excellent songs with a rawer edge than the past couple of albums (Heathen & Hours).
-
-
PedroMSep 21, 2003I think this is one of the best Bowie's albuns of the past 10 years. Great songs: New Killer Star, Never Get Old, She'll Drive the Big Car.

-
JulesSep 21, 2003Great stuff - finally the duke stops trying so hard. His nineties albums had their moments, after all the man's a genius, but it was painful to hear these often labored works, all running too hard from the terrible ghosts of his eighties albums. Every song here is spanking fresh - back in the groove at 56!
-
-
WarrenMSep 23, 2003Once again, Bowie is in a league of his own. Instantly accessible without rehashing past glories, he continues to make art his way. Having come to grips with his age on "...hours", Bowie surprised us with "Heathen" and continues to awe with "Reality." This should make those who slagged him off in the 90s re-evaluate his post-"Sound+Vision" body of work.

StoopMonkeySep 20, 2003"Tara True", you're a true idiot. Get off your true high horse and just listen to the true music. It is people like you that give music lovers a bad name. Bowie's new album is good but not great. It seems less inspired than his works throughout the 90's. He certainly brings his edge and talent, but I'd be lying if I claimed that this is one of his best works to date.

ToniESep 18, 2003Well....I don't know what to say,I have only listened it truh like 2 times...but it does sound good already.Mayby it will hit me later. I do lookforward to go see him playing live on the concert ....Man that he can rock!

EdSSep 21, 2003Tight production that really kicks in starting with New Killer Star. He puts fun into this song with the "loose" guitar sounds. I get to play this often now than Heathen's "Sunday", one of my favorite Bowie tunes (or "Cactus" lol).

AndreaSep 15, 2003A very simple rock album,something very inspired,something usefull...Two covers are too much for a 11's songs album!

Awards & Rankings
-
Reality is easily one of his most emotionally transparent albums.
-
It's the sound of a man who's worked out how to be good again, who finally understands his own strengths and limitations.
-
It's a little artier than Heathen, but similar in its feel and just as satisfying.
