 --------------------------------------------------------------------                                              Bowie began the '80s by translating the druggy experiments of his late-'70s albums into a new wave record that's dark, berserk, funky and drunk on alienated weirdness. He repudiates his old fascination with fascism, dismisses "Space Oddity"'s Major Tom as a junkie and sings with actorly abandon over jagged, poison-tipped arrangements. The album also features the most futuristic guitar playing in his discography, especially Robert Fripp's five-dimensional warp-spasm solos.

 
David Bowie returned to relatively conventional rock & roll with Scary Monsters, an album that effectively acts as an encapsulation of all his '70s experiments. Reworking glam rock themes with avant-garde synth flourishes, and reversing the process as well, Bowie creates dense but accessible music throughout Scary Monsters. Though it doesn't have the vision of his other classic records, it wasn't designed to break new ground - it was created as the culmination of Bowie's experimental genre-shifting of the '70s. As a result, Scary Monsters is Bowie's last great album. While the music isn't far removed from the post-punk of the early '80s, it does sound fresh, hip, and contemporary, which is something Bowie lost over the course of the '80s.
