I've only tried a little bit to get my head around the story, but I'm more a 'music' guy, than 'lyrics'. He could sing out of the phone book, and if the music is great, I'd still be at least somewhat interested. But fantastic lyrics coupled with insipid music, I couldn't be bothered. [For example, I prefer David Gilmour's solo output (and his version of Pink Floyd) about 5x over nearly everything Roger Water's has ever done solo (including The Final Cut, and even great gobs of The Wall, to be perfectly honest).]

That said, one could almost argue that Outside is one of Bowie's least cohesive albums of his entire career. Fortunately, what it's built out of has some spectacular stuff.

Have you ever heard the live liveandwell album (which actually came out on CD, legit, through some sort of official David Bowie on-line fan club, through Bowie.net). I stumbled on a used copy (it has a second CD with a few studio cuts, all remixes), for about $40 in a used CD store sometime around 2005. Pricy, sure, but looking on-line that was about the going rate. I'm pretty cheap, but I took a chance on it, and the first "live" disc is one of my single favorite Bowie releases, bar none. Drawn half from Outside and half from Earthling, several of the tracks best their studio counterparts (and even better than all live versions of those same tracks from the Live BBC 2000 3rd disc, from the Bowie at the Beeb set).

I almost never listen to the 2nd disc, but it was worth every penny just for disc #1. (and if my copy ever got stolen or went missing today, I'm sure I'd plunk down another $40 for a replacement copy. Unfortunately I don't know that I could fine one anywhere near that cheap now.

FWIW, here's a few from Amazon, starting at $75 (outch!). But looking at "completed listings" on eBay for the last month, it seems like the true "going rate" is more like about $32 or $33, or maybe $39 -- so keep your eyes out, it can be had for the price of a good night's dinner)
