BUY, BEG OR STEAL : Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps) (RCA,1980)

 

       ''There's a brand new talk'',peva Bowie u pesmi 'Fashion' sa albuma 'Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps)',''but i don't know its name'',

      Albumom se proteže osećaj nepovezanosti sa punk ekipom s' kraja sedamdesetih i narastajućom new wave scenom.Bowie pokušava da shvati gde se tačno on uklapa u ovom trenutku vremena,i iz tog razloga,'Scary Monsters...' je jedan od njegovih najpotcenjenijih albuma.

      Na ovom ostvarenju nema velikih hitova ali nam se ponovo vratio lik Major Toma,u numeri 'Ashes To Ashes',a pokušaj konekcije sa novim klincima vidi se u 'Teenage Wildlife':''A broken-nosed mogul are you/One of the new wave boys/Same old thing in brand new drag''.

      U celini,'Scary Monsters...' je ostvarenje na kome nas umetnik podseća da dok sve dodje i prodje,on uvek ostaje relevantan i,u tom smislu,album predstavlja fantastičan uspeh.
