* VindicatedByHistory: ''Outside'' initially attracted mixed reviews for its mammoth length and unusual concept, with many journalists describing it as pretentious and overcomplicated. In the years since, however, its reception has become far more uniformly positive, with fans and critics hailing it as one of Bowie's greatest albums (even if its length still raises eyebrows).

* EvenBetterSequel: While ''Music/TheBuddhaOfSuburbia'' is already considered a major step up from the divisive ''Music/BlackTieWhiteNoise'', ''Outside'' is seen as an even greater improvement, thrusting Bowie into the mid-'90s zeitgeist and more definitively marking the start of the artistic renaissance that would last until his death in 2016.

* TooBleakStoppedCaring: Not only one of Bowie's darkest albums but also his longest (at 74:36); Bowie himself outright regretted making the album as long as it was without releasing it as a DistinctDoubleAlbum. Claims of this trope are therefore inevitable.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: "Strangers When We Meet", a surprisingly mellow-sounding song reminiscing on a failed relationship, placed at the very end of a surreal, sprawling rock opera about a brutal murder mystery. Somehow though, it still manages to work quite well, in part because of it being framed as a flashback by the preceding segue.

* BrokenBase: A minor one exists as to whether or not this album's version of "Strangers When We Meet" is better or worse than the ''Music/TheBuddhaOfSuburbia'' original. Supporters of the 1993 version describe it as being technically superior, while supporters of the 1995 version describe it as sounding more musically and emotionally inspired. Others prefer to TakeAThirdOption and state that both versions are equally good for their own reasons and are best listened to in the context of their parent albums.
