Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) [2017 Remastered Version]

Editors’ Notes David Bowie entered the ‘80s with a bang. There's a gripping sense of foreboding throughout Scary Monsters, and the eternally poised Bowie has rarely sounded more like a man with an axe to grind, while the aggressive riffs of "It's No Game (No. 1)" and the title track slice the air around him. At the same time, the funky "Fashion" and swirling, spacey "Ashes to Ashes" show Bowie's knack for off-kilter pop appeal. This is the kind of monster you want to spend quality time with.
