We must look beyond the singles and hopefully you are all actually revisiting these albums with a fresh listen and not working from memory dating back some years.

Interesting because you seem to really dislike Scary Monsters other than the singles, when I think the whole album has a cohesiveness and atmosphere, and some of his best song writing ever. I don't even like the singles as much as the other tracks.
