MB Bowie Classics: "Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps)"

~~Cuthbert~~ · 06-02-2018, 03:43 PM

The sound. All of it.

No weak tracks at all.

I like it too, if I remember (A2A was a number one hit of course, and recalls the classic "Space Oddity", plus it was an amazing video) but I think you're, shall I say, Frownlanding MicShaz here. It's like, you love the album so can't understand why he doesn't. That's kind of wrong, really. If he gets into it, great. If not, it doesn't mean he's wrong or missing anything. There are plenty of albums people rate that I don't; doesn't make me wrong or them right. Different opinions. Let him hate it if he wants. That's his privilege. Don't try to force him to change his mind.

How dare he not rate this unassailable album 5/5.

Despicable.

****ting on beloved albums always carries a risk of being Frownlanded

Yeah. You would say it's nice.
Actually no; you would say I like it therefore you should and if you don't you're wrong and a moron and by the way here are some great links you should follow that definitely are not links to my music, except they are, every single one.

I'm a big fan of this one. The title track has always been one of my favorite Bowie songs.

I have the same opinion of Bowie that I do of Scorpions: lots of unassailable songs, but no unassailable albums from start to finish. That's my general opinion anyway.

This one's a 3 out of 5 for me.

Brian Eno and Adrian Belew depart, Robert Fripp returns, and Pete Townshend joins the lineup for a song. A bit less avant-garde and a bit more mainstream than Bowie's previous album, this one just isn't quite as interesting to me. Three hits ("Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)", "Ashes to Ashes", and "Fashion") a cover ("Kingdom Come" by Tom Verlaine) and half a dozen other, rather average songs that don't quite stay with me or stand up to repeated listens.

Not a bad album but not one of his memorable ones for me.
