Let’s Dance had enough Bowie weirdness to make it stand out from other 1983 hit albums—“visions of swastikas” in “China Girl;” the cheery nihilism of “Modern Love”; the dark undercurrent in “Let’s Dance,” a lonely, desperate song beneath its trappings.

The three hits were enough to make the album a massive hit, and their power hasn't diminished over the years, even if the rest of the record sounds like an artifact.

This is one album that I personally am not crazy over, but I certainly don't hate and I understand completely why it seems to have a following heralding it as one of Bowie's best efforts even though, objectively speaking, it's pretty fucking far from it.
