Reality

I am not as enamored of this as many people seem to be. Then again, I think Tin Machine represents some of his best work in the last 20 years whereas most Bowie fans and music critics seem to want to pretend those albums never happened. Not to say that Reality is a bad album, and it's certainly far better than most of his 80's catalog, but Outside was more consistent and Heathen more musically interesting. Reality does have it's strong points, Bowie is by no means done. The title track with understated guitar and a simple beat rocks harder than most of the bands you'll see on Headbanger's Ball. Days is a morose ballad that ranks up there with his best.
