Style and themes
Reality is an album by the British singer-songwriter David Bowie, released in 2003. The album was well received by fans and critics and was one of Bowie's most critically acclaimed albums since Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), alongside Heathen. It is his latest album to date.
Some of the lyrics found in Reality deal with Bowie's perception of himself as an old person, as in the songs "The Loneliest Guy", "Days", the ironic "Never Get Old", and especially on the nostalgic "Bring Me The Disco King". The album also makes reference to the 9/11 attacks in "New Killer Star" and the concept of Reality as subjective.
Over the promotional period, the album was released in a variety of formats. The standard release was a single jewel case CD version, followed by the CD with a three track bonus CD in digipak format. The album was then released as a multichannel hybrid SACD, and then reissued with a bonus live DVD recorded in London.

Special Edition Releases
Limited DVD tour edition
The DVD features a promotional concert where the whole album was played live track by track. It was recorded at the Riverside Studios, Hammersmith, London, 8 September 2003. On the regular CD a recording of The Kinks song "Waterloo Sunset" was released as a bonus track. On the Canadian reissue, the live DVD was truncated down to five tracks, while the Japanese release did not include "Waterloo Sunset" as a bonus.
DualDisc edition
A DualDisc edition was released initially in the Boston and Seattle regions of the US only. The CD-side contains the album, whereas the DVD-side contains the album in 5.1 surround sound and bonus material (photo gallery, lyrics, biography and discography). Of most interest is the otherwise unavailable Reality film featuring full length videos of "Never Get Old", "The Loneliest Guy", "Bring Me the Disco King" and "New Killer Star". About half a year later this edition was released countrywide in the US and Canada.
