Free Music Notes for Let's Dance [ECD]
Free Music Review: Definitely listenable and worth picking up, but it was all downhill from here....
Hit: 4 Stars
This was actually the first Bowie album I ever bought (!), and I still like it, despite listening to his much more adventurous and creative music that preceeded this album. This was Bowie's biggest album commercially, infuriating many longtime fans and gaining a lot of new ones. Is is awful? No, absolutely not. Is it commercial? Compared to most of his other work, yes, but that doesn't diminish the fact that it's a very well crafted album, very danceable, great vocals, very good songwriting, and great arrangements.
I've always loved Modern Love, China Girl, the title track (the full version), Ricochet, and Cat People. They all still hold up remarkably well. It's also interesting to note that after this commercial watershed for Bowie, his music declined sharply, both in artistic interest and commercial interest. The only really good album he did after this was the first Tin Machine album (even though some hate that album). His followups to this one were uneven and sometimes downright awful. I never thought of this album as a complete sellout, but it's not as adventurous as Bowie's early work, and he was never the same after this one.
Let's Dance [ECD] Poster
David Bowie returned to recording after a four-year break with this relatively clean-cut 1983 album. Although offering another definite new direction for Bowie, with Nile Rodgers of Chic helping to produce a stylish post-disco dance sound, Let's Dance is a mixed bag. Much of the album's success was due to its three danceable hit singles--"China Girl," a sensuous Bowie/Iggy Pop collaboration, the distinctive "Modern Love," and the funky title track. However, much of the rest of the album is bland and vapid, marking the start of serious decline in Bowie's songwriting skills. A cover of Metro's "Criminal World" and "Cat People" are the only other strong tracks here. --James SwiftAlternative Rock Music CDs
