Scary Monsters is a fantastic album, totally justified opinion. I'm one of those arseholes who thinks Station To Station is his best.

Yeah it's basically interchangeable, which is a testament to just how good his discog is

Ive listened to Hunky Dory mostly but i have to say his late 70s style is way more interesting

This album and The Next Day are equally good imo. This absolutely slays in terms of ambition, and Lazarus might be my favourite Bowie song ever... but The Next Day is just so consistently good. Underrated, despite being rock solid from start to finish.

how is the next day underrated. isn't 81/100 on metacritic more than enough for a simply "solid" album?

imo the next day is not even close to this.

Bowie's best songs tend to be ballads and that's why I adore The Next Day as much as I do

This discussion makes me realize how much I need to listen to the whole Bowie discography and also makes me ask myself why I still haven't done that.

Blackstar was just such a way to send himself off. It seems to bridge the gap between the living and the dead; it was a way of still getting something from someone who is no longer with us and I think that's what art really strives to do. In a way, Blackstar cemented his immortality.

It wouldn't have been the same if TND was his final album for sure. Imagine if he made another album similar to the next day and then found out he had a month to live, things would have turned out completely different.

I completely understand and love the profundity of Blackstar, I just don't think the songwriting on it is consistently as strong as it is on The Next Day.



I say it is underrated, because it has an average of 3.8 on here (a full 0.5 lower than this album), and nobody really talks about it.

Sooooo.... why no one ever mentions Earthling? Seven years in Tibet and Telling lies are grrreat. (and every other song from that album too).





That album is so underrated people don't even put it on their "most underrated" lists.
