Let's Dance [ECD]

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 Swift more

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-12-2008; Mistaken reinvention; Very much a product of its time, "Let's Dance" has not aged particularly well. It's a post-disco dance record by way of a superstar and is also easily his most uneven since "Young Americans" (another album that was a product of its...; read full review | report as inappropriate

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jul-21-2005; Dance Away The Heartache; David Bowie always walked a thin line between commercially acceptable and just plain commercial. This is the first time he fell off and became just plain commercial. A disco-esque record, it's remembered more fondly than it was...; read full review | report as inappropriate
