Editorial Reviews

Vinyl LP pressing. Digitally remastered edition. Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps), also known simply as Scary Monsters, is the 14th studio album by David Bowie, originally released in September 1980 by RCA Records. It was his final studio album on the label and his first following his Berlin Trilogy of Low, Heroes and Lodger (1977-1979). Though considered very significant in artistic terms, the trilogy had proven less successful commercially. With Scary Monsters, Bowie achieved what biographer David Buckley called "the perfect balance" of creativity and mainstream success as well as earning critical acclaim; the album peaked at #1 in the UK and restored Bowie's commercial standing in the US.

The album is an original 1980 pressing album looks brand new sounds great! The album was packed very nicely in a separate sleeve and the original sleeve and album cover came in protective sleeve cover. Price was affordable and shipped and arrived within a few short days. Very pleased and will buy from this seller again.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is His Highly Innovative Masterpiece!
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2014
Verified Purchase
Just as David Bowie successfully entered the 1980's in dazzling force, he had
released another blockbuster album in 1980 that found him returning to the conv-
entional rock and roll medium while maintaining the electronica edge of his Berlin
days as he took yet another striking momentum in his trend-setting music career.
Scary Monsters is a spellbinding landmark masterpiece that highly showcases an
encapsulation of his artistic experimentations from the 1970's that reworks glam-
rock themes with avant-garde synthesizers that are backed by uplifting flourishes
and reversing the processes to create dense, highly accessible music by creating
a stylish caliber phase for his music. Beginning with the compelling instrumental
opening track It's No Game, the high voltage track set proceed with other classic
songs including Up To The Hill Backwards, Scary Monsters (And Super Creeps),
Ashes To Ashes, Fashion, Kingdom Come, and Because They're Young. Hailed
by many as his masterpiece, Scary Monsters is headed by world class musician-
ship, first rate excellence and complex melodies, as it introduced him to The New
Wave Movement and the Euro-dance circuit in the early-1980's. There are even
several guest appearances that include arranger Chuck Hammer who add to the
multiple layers he gives to the guitar-synth background, while Robert Fripp make
his return to the band and The Who's Pete Townsend also gives his guitar-driven
cameo role on Because You're Young. While the music is not quite far removed
from the post-Punk Rock of the early-1980's, it highly showcases a sound that is
fresh, hip, fascinating and contemporary that he did to near-perfection, which will
always remain as visually timeless as ever.

5.0 out of 5 stars The end of one of the greatest runs of rock albums in history
Reviewed in the United States on December 21, 2021
Verified Purchase
If you want to gain an understanding of the Berlin Trilogy but aren't down to listen to all three, dig into this one. It combines the sounds and themes of Low, 'Heroes', and Lodger concisely into one 45 minute collection. Bowie uses his rhythm section and guests from past albums very effectively and makes new wave sound actually enjoyable. This was around the time that New Romantic and post-punk acts were beginning to make headlines and their music was even seen as a copycat rendition of Bowie's experimental output. Regardless of your opinion of those contemporary acts, this stands as his bookend of easily a decade's worth of albums, each one more of a landmark than the last. Also—a legendary character makes a surprise appearance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definately Bowie's Modern Yardstick
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2005
Verified Purchase
If 'Ziggy Stardust' was Bowie's scale for measuring his 70's work then this album does the same for his work up to today.At it's most basic 'Scary Monsters' is David Bowie's hardest rocking album of the decade.Both parts of "It's No Game",the title cut and "Teenage Wildlife" all feature Robert Fripp's slashing guitar riffs strung into wild,disonant patterns.So if songs such as "Up The Hill Backwards","Kingdom Come" and "Because Your Young" all carry on the warped and disonant guitar rock sound,they also carry an equally mutated wall of sound-like production and (yes) very catchy writing.Of course this album will be remembered commercially for two reasons-the tongue in cheek dance-rock of "Fasion",with it's great rhythmic backup and the jerky "Ashes To Ashes",the twisted follow up to 'Space Oddity' where Bowie implies 'Major Tom was a junkie'.

So is there a good reason to say that any Bowie album today is and I quaote 'his best since 'Scary Monsters'?Well there is-this album ushered Bowie into the era of the music video (Fasion and Ashes To Ashes both have their own clips-worth searching for) and everything on this album has a particularly timeless quality.Because of his clout Bowie knew he'd succeed no matter what so he committed himself to his own artistic vision rather then to being ultra trendy.In fact as is the case here he went out of his way to mock those trends when he could.By far his most consistant album of this decade.

4.0 out of 5 stars An exceptional album/CD, and a very good remaster
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2018
Verified Purchase
You've bought this so you're likely a Bowie fan, so I don't have to sell you on how exceptional an artist he was.

I have been going through my album collection and acquiring CDs I did not already have, and somehow I had not updated my CD collection to include Bowie in the same manner I had so many other artists. My bad.

Scary Monsters is an exceptional release, and we all know that. This remaster is a fine one as well. It was done before the loudness war began with more modern releases/remasters, and so what we get is a remaster done for the age of digital (as opposed to vinyl/cassette), which does this release justice.

If you are a Bowie fan there is no reason to not own this.

5.0 out of 5 stars A retrospective?
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2022
Verified Purchase
I loved the remastered version much better than the original. 'It's no Game (no. 1)' with the Japanese samurai spoken word overlayed into it was fantastic. I didn't know the woman was also one of the album cover models for the band Sparks 'Kimono my House'. 'Scary Monsters' is my jam and 'Ashes to Ashes' bring back memories of Space Oddity. Along with the other songs, it made me feel this was a 10-year retrospective album with multiple styles. 'Scream like a Baby' was awesome and sad. I loved the whole album; I recommend the remaster for anyone who loves David Bowie.

Questa ristampa (vinile) è davvero OTTIMA! Ultimamente avevo iniziato a sortire dei dubbi sulla qualità di certi nuovi vinili. Vi assicuro che questo è strepitoso e non a caso arriva (perlomeno la mia copia) con adesivo ‘Bowie Official’ e tanto di logo ‘75’ ! Ebbene evidentemente il controllo qualità per quella distribuzione funziona davvero!!!!!
Per quanto riguarda il disco in senso artistico ‘Scary…” non il più famoso, non il più ruffiano, non il più iconico, non il più innovativo, non il più bello ma sicuramente il più sofisticato e il più accurato. Un’architettura fatta di stratificazioni strumentali, melodiche e vocali alla quale si aggiungono collaborazioni di altissimo livello pongono questo LP certamente tra i must have in una collezione anche per i fan meno accaniti del Duca Bianco.
