This article is about the 13th studio album by the English musician David Bowie (rest in peace). It was the final release of his so-called "Berlin Trilogy", a set of albums that are considered some of the most influential music ever recorded. While Lodger is generally considered the weakest of the trilogy, in comparison to its predecessors Low and "Heroes", Lodger's reputation has grown significantly over the years, whole influence has been seen in genres like world music. The article just went through a GA review so I feel it's in pretty good shape to become an FA. I also feel much more confident about this one than I did Hunky Dory. I'm looking forward to hearing anyone's comments or concerns. :-) – zmbro (talk) 21:05, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
Images are appropriately licensed, but have you considered adding a sample? Nikkimaria (talk) 22:36, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
- Nikkimaria I actually have no idea how to do that. Would that be essential? – zmbro (talk) 15:59, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- It is not a requirement. The reason I mention it is because it is quite typical of FA-level album articles, and I was surprised not to see one here. Nikkimaria (talk) 16:13, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
- Hmm. I'll see what others say about it. – zmbro (talk) 18:04, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

To be completely honest I've lost interest in this Ian Rose you can go ahead and archive it. – zmbro (talk) 18:44, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
