couldn't care less

I mean he still made We are the Dead and Big Brother, two of the greatest songs in music, so it's not that sad.

Anyone else love Bowies guitar playing on it?

Happy. We don't need more music based on Orwellian fiction. It's only become more and more irrelevant to modern life as time goes on. The main reason it never came to be was that Bowie didn't really care that much about the project, and it shows in how lackluster Diamond Dogs is.
Music based on pic related, however, would be revolutionary.

There's two decent songs (Sweet Thing, Diamond Dogs) on it and only one classic (Rebel Rebel). The rest is either forgettable or some of the worst stuff Bowie ever wrote (Big Brother, Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family). The whole thing reeks or trying too hard to make a new Ziggy phenomenon, and I think Bowie quickly realized that it just wasn't going to happen. That's why Young Americans is so successful- Bowie pursued a sound he was interested in instead of trying to repeat past successes. All of his best records are the ones where he tried something completely new to him (Hunky Dory, Ziggy, Low, Scary Monsters, Outside, Blackstar) and all of his worst records were retreads in some way, shape or form (Diamond Dogs, Never Let Me Down, Earthling, Hours).
