An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Reality is the 24th studio album by English musician David Bowie, originally released in Europe on 15 September 2003, and the following day in America. It was the artist's second release through his ISO Records label, in conjunction with Columbia Records. Co-produced by Bowie and longtime collaborator Tony Visconti, it was recorded between January and May 2003 at Looking Glass Studios in New York City. Having become re-energised to tour again following the Heathen Tour, Bowie envisioned Reality as a set of songs that could be played live. As such, most of the musicians consisted of Bowie's then-touring band.

  • Reality is the 24th studio album by English musician David Bowie, originally released in Europe on 15 September 2003, and the following day in America. It was the artist's second release through his ISO Records label, in conjunction with Columbia Records. Co-produced by Bowie and longtime collaborator Tony Visconti, it was recorded between January and May 2003 at Looking Glass Studios in New York City. Having become re-energised to tour again following the Heathen Tour, Bowie envisioned Reality as a set of songs that could be played live. As such, most of the musicians consisted of Bowie's then-touring band. A mostly straightforward rock album with a more direct sound compared to its predecessor Heathen (2002), Reality contains covers of the Modern Lovers' "Pablo Picasso" and George Harrison's "Try Some, Buy Some". One of the tracks, "Bring Me the Disco King", was originally written in 1992 and attempted for two other albums before finally appearing on Reality. One of the album's primary themes concerns reflections on the ageing process, while other songs focus on despaired and diminished characters. The cover artwork depicts Bowie as an anime-style character that reflected the idea that reality had become an abstract concept. Released under a variety of CD formats, Reality charted in numerous countries, peaking at number three in the United Kingdom. It failed to outperform Heathen in the United States, but nevertheless peaked at number 29. The album was not supported through conventional single releases, although "New Killer Star" and "Never Get Old" appeared in some countries. Reality received largely positive reviews from music critics on release, with many highlighting the music, lyrics, vocal performances and the growing maturity in Bowie's songwriting. Bowie supported the album on the worldwide A Reality Tour throughout 2003 and 2004, his biggest tour up to that point and his final concert tour. It ended prematurely in June 2004 after Bowie was hospitalised for a blocked artery. Afterwards, Bowie largely retreated from public life and did not release another studio album until The Next Day in 2013, making Reality his last album of original material for ten years. His biographers have given Reality mixed to positive assessments. (en)

  • Reality is het 23e studioalbum van de Britse muzikant David Bowie, uitgebracht in 2003. Het was zijn laatste studioalbum tot The Next Day uit 2013. Het album werd opgenomen in de huisstudio van Bowie en in de Looking Glass Studios, allebei in New York, en is geproduceerd door Bowie en Tony Visconti. De meeste nummers zijn originele composities, met uitzondering van de Modern Lovers-cover van "Pablo Picasso" en het nummer "Try Some, Buy Some" van George Harrison. Deze twee nummers waren bedoeld voor de opvolger van Bowie's coveralbum Pin Ups uit 1973, die nooit werd opgenomen. Bowie startte met het schrijven van nummers voor dit album kort nadat de sessies van zijn voorgaande album Heathen waren afgerond. Enkele nummers werden snel geschreven, zo duurde het slechts een half uur voordat "Fall Dog Bombs the Moon" af was. Andere nummers duurden langer om a te maken, zoals "Bring Me the Disco King", een nummer dat Bowie al in de jaren '70 schreef en opnieuw probeerde op te nemen voor Black Tie White Noise uit 1993 en Heathen uit 2002. Bowie bracht twee nummers van het album uit op single, maar zowel "New Killer Star" als "Never Get Old" behaalde de hitlijsten niet. Een mash-up van het laatste nummer met de klassieker "Rebel Rebel", genaamd "Rebel Never Gets Old", behaalde de Engelse hitlijsten wel op nummer 47. (nl)

  • It's a rather singular accomplishment that Reality makes the personal contemplation of mortality sound so crashingly, defiantly vital... In short, it has all the alchemy of a great rock record – songs about death that were made to be played loud and live. (en)
  • Reality finds Bowie returning, as he put it, "to the themes that have gnawed at me since I was a teenager – trying to find a sense of isolation, and a vague futurism." The result is not just a worthy successor to Heathen, but a fine and substantial addition to the canon, delivered with maturity, confidence and panache. (en)
  • On the concept of 'reality': it's a broken, fractured word now. It feels at times that there really is no sense any more, in a major way, and that everything is being broken down for us, and the absolutes have gone, and you end up with bits and pieces of what our culture was. (en)
