I haven't listened to Scary Monsters in a long time. . . lost my copy. The title track is good, but I've always considered Ashes to Ashes to be a pretty cheesy song.
There isn't a single bad song on Diamond Dogs.
Future Legend- Awesome
Diamond Dogs- Awesome
Sweet Thing-Fucking Awesome
Candidate- Really Fucking Awesome
Sweet Thing reprise- fucking awesome
Rebel, Rebel- fucking awesome
When You Rock 'N Roll With Me- cute
We Are the Dead- Drop dead fucking awesome
1984- cool funky dancy tune
Big Brother- great/awesome song- I love the mellotron choral voices
Chant of the Ever-Circling Skeletal Family- the weakest track on the album, but a fitting outro for Big Brother
It isn't as revolutionary an album as Low per se. . . but it is my favorite. I used to listen to it when I was 5 or 6 because I liked how he howls in Diamond Dogs.
