Nevertheless, many considered it Bowie's finest record since 1980's Scary Monsters. While most praised the music, others found the concept pretentious and hard to follow. Released at the height of Britpop in the UK, Outside received mixed reviews from critics. The album cover is a self-portrait painted by Bowie himself.

The tracks show perspectives of specific characters, while spoken word between-song segues convey more character ideals the story and Adler's diary entries were presented in the album's CD booklet. Influenced by the television series Twin Peaks, the nonlinear narrative of Outside concerns the residents of the fictional Oxford Town, New Jersey, and follows detective Nathan Adler as he investigates the murder of a 14-year-old girl. The project's bootlegging led to additional sessions in 1995 to revise the concept and record more commercial material, inspired by a diary Bowie wrote for Q magazine. The resulting Leon project initially faced resistance from labels due to its uncommercial nature. Recorded throughout 1994, the experimental sessions saw Bowie conceive a world where 'art crimes', such as murder, pervade society. Reuniting Bowie with musician Brian Eno following the late 1970s Berlin Trilogy, the two were inspired by concepts 'outside' the mainstream, such as various outsider and performance artists. Outside and subtitled The Nathan Adler Diaries: A Hyper-cycle) is the 20th studio album by English musician David Bowie, released on 25 September 1995 through Virgin Records in the United States and Arista Records, BMG and RCA Records in other territories.
