I think this was the second Bowie album I bought, after 'Black Tie, White Noise'. 
'Scary Monsters...' is one of those albums I *never* tire of. Ever. It launches a complete assault on you - in all the right places. Bowie really was on a roll with this one and there's still nothing like it.  It constantly fights for the position of my favourite Bowie album.
When you look at the rest of his 80's output, it's just sad when you think how much promise this album gave... 
But a wonderful, wonderful album. Genius. I knew you were waiting...I knew you were waiting for meeeee....  | |

I think there's only one song I like on the second half. But I appreciate I'm in the minority, most folk consider it his best work of the 90s. I much prefer Hours. The Hearts Filthy Lesson, Hello Spaceboy, The Motel, I'm Deranged, Strangers When We Meet...all great songs!
"Hours" is a great album I really love it but somehow I often forget about it... | |

GangstaFam said: Cheek said: The interludes make "Outside" less-enjoyable I definitely agree. The burned copy I have without them is much easier to stomach. You should also burn a copy of all the interludes from "Outside". | |

What are your fav tracks from the album? You got me there. 
I was thinking about that yesterday and I always find it difficult to choose these things.  Impossible! But I prefer Side 1 over Side 2.
There's not one track on the album that I don't like. | |

Cheek said: Typical Alun.
What??!
That is typical me - very Libran. Always weighing up the possibilities.
I honestly don't know how people come up with lists. I like every song for different reasons. If you want me to sit down for three hours and come up with one, I'll do it. Otherwise, I'm busy right now.
But at a push - and this really only is a spur of the moment thing; it will change - I'd pick 'Fashion'. That's what I'd stick on if I had the cd to hand.
I feel unclean. | |

I've been kind of reluqtant to buy his classic albums due to various rereleases but I have this one and am glad I do. If that is considered new wave, it's never sounded better on a full album. | |

Man, that's his best song from the 90s (tied with Jump They Say)!
And I'm Deranged is amazing!!!
You need to give a spin to the record! | |

Cloudbuster said: Hours.
The only thing I don't like about "Hours" is the thin & "sterile" sound it has.
Though it includes some all time faves: Thursday's Child Something In The Air Survive The Pretty Things Are Going To Hell | |
