'Lodger' separates itself from 'Low and '"Heroes"' just by the mere fact that there are no instrumentals.  But while it may not have the groundbreaking aura of those two, it is, in my opinion, the most rewarding  of the three.  The songs are just catchy as all hell.  Only the closer,  "Red Money," is weak.  "DJ", "Move On", and  "Red Sails" are the best of the lot.
