Scary Monsters and Super Creeps
>>131069528Listen to better music.
Scary Monsters [RCA Victor, 1980]No concepts, no stylistic excursions, no avant collaborations--this songbook may be the most conventional album he's ever put his name on. Vocally it can be hard to take--if "Teenage Wildlife" parodies his chanteur mode on purpose the joke's not worth the pain, and if you think Tom Verlaine can't sing, check out "Kingdom Come"--though anyone vaguely interested has already made peace with that. Lyrically it's too facile as usual, though the one about Major Tom's jones gets me every time. And musically, it apotheosizes his checkered past, bringing you up short with a tune you'd forgotten you remembered or a sonic that scrunches your shoulders or a beat that keeps you on your feet when your coccyx is moaning sit down. B+

>>131069528why did he copy Skrillex?
>>131069660why can't this guy write a coherent sentence?
he invented industrial rock on that song
>>131069660He used to sing pretty good before trashing his voice with cocaine.
>>131069635Fuck off pleb. >>131069660t. Literal Cuckold
>>131070363>>131070301Proof that your voice affects a lot of what you can do with the music.
>Teenage Wildlife>Because You're YoungWhat did he mean by this?
>>131070497Teenage Wildlife is about how he wants young people to stop talking to him and burdoning him with their problems
>>131069528His last good album for a long time to come.
>>131069660Reminder that this guy's wife fucked multiple other dudes in his bed and he was completely ok with it.
>>131071187His last good one, period. Definitely prefer the single version of Ashes to Ashes to the Album one though.
>>131069660What the fuck is he talking about
>>131071187Let's Dance is a good album but SM was the last of the classic David Bowie era
>>131069528Is that a JoJo reference?MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
>>131070998he also disses gary numan apparently
ASHES TO ASHES, funk to funky WE KNOW major TOM’s a JunkieStrung out in heavens high, hitting an ALLL time low…
>>131069528For me it's Teenage Wildlife.
>>131070363Teenage Wildlife is one of the best vocals he ever did. Also maybe his best album vocally is Young Americans which was deep in his cocaine era.

>>131071333>just dismissing every album from outside to blackstar like that
>>131069528First, Bowie's best album. Second, features his best collab with the almighty Fripp, Teenage Wildlife.
no mention of it's no game? seriously, what a fucking way to open + close an album.
>>131082413That riff is forever stuck in my head.
>>131071333>Definitely prefer the single version of Ashes to Ashes to the Album onewhat the fuck. why?
>>131082413i always liked its no game pt 2. its kinda underrated. pt 1 is good and gets more attention bc of the screaming parts and japanese etc (cyberpunk atmosphere) but pt 2 is really good talking heads 77 esque . love both
