>The Seer
Going insane and rejecting all that is good and holy. A metaphor for the output of the band up to and including this album.
>To Be Kind
In his naivete, all of the Ten Commandments are broken. This album is about a life of sin seeking love.
>The Glowing Man
This album is about redemption, being forgiven by God after baptism and finally finding peace in His love.

It's called the Rebirth trilogy for a reason. It's about being born again.

lodger is a HUGE drop off from the first two, so I don't know about your premise

Cale's trilogy for Island is infinitely better

>>121820141
Closest to the quality of the Berlin Trilogy imo is The Downward Spiral, The Fragile, and With Teeth, or The Sound's first three albums. MJ surpasses Bowie with Off The Wall, Thriller, and Bad
>>121820474
They're all good albums but none are faultless and I'm not sure I agree with the idea pcrel supposes
>>121820543
Heroes is the worst of the trilogy. Lodger is different but only has one bad song

>Heroes is the worst of the trilogy
you're actually out of your mind
>>
>>121820826
Heroes starts off cringe but gets good starting with the title track. Low maybe has one or two shoddy instrumentals but is nearly perfect otherwise. Lodger is inconsistent but is a compilation of some of Bowies best stuff with maybe two bad tracks in the mix. Low and Lodger simply have more good stuff of better quality. Heroes has Blackout, Secret Life of Arabia, and some killer instrumentals but is lacking in comparison to the abundance of great content on the other two albums

I love the Berlin trilogy, but PiL surpassed it easily with their first 3 albums barely a year or two later. Unfortunately, everything they did after was trash.

>>121821453
Wrong on every level. You'd be way better saying Diamond Dogs, Young Americans, and Station to Station if you're gonna pick another set of Bowie albums

Station to Station - Low - Heroes is the better trilogy.

But why tout a trilogy when the run starts at Diamond Dogs?

Don’t get me wrong, bear trilogy is great and all and I think Late Registration is underrated, but CD and Graduation are a tad overrated imo

Not sure how to define a trilogy, but Gaucho, Aja, and The Royal Scam is pretty much flawless, too.

Not a bad run though. I dont really have an opinion on a Bowie run myself, but I'd personally enjoy listening to this run over the popular Berlin trilogy run. The only one I actually like in the Berlin run is Low, the whole thing is an atmosphere masterpiece. I like a few on Heroes and thats it. This run here though, I love Ziggy completely all the way through (like Low), and many really great tracks on hunky dory and man who sold the world.
>>
>>121820141
There is no “Berlin trilogy” strictly speaking, as only Heroes was recorded entirely in Berlin and stylistically Lodger is quite different from the other two. You could include The Idiot in that but that wasn’t recorded even partially in Berlin. Lodger is as much a lone wolf in Bowie’s catalog as Scary Monsters.
>>
>>121820543
Lodger is an interesting art rock record. It gets underrated because it doesn't have the experimental ambient tracks but there's some great tracks like Fantastic Voyage
>>
>>121828906
probably gets thrown in there because eno's on it
