one of bowie's greatest
, September 16, 2003Reviewer:
dave b - See all dave b's reviews This album is way too theatrical and the lyrics i mean the concept is a little bit ridiculous but the music is just great, there's some classic songs in that record. If you don't know bowie buy "honky dory" first -
best ever

Pro Reviews: Rise & Fall of Ziggy Stardust
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Borrowing heavily from Marc Bolan's glam rock and the future shock of #A Clockwork Orange, David Bowie reached back to the heavy rock of The Man Who Sold the World for ^The Rise Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Constructed as a loose concept album about an androgynous alien rock star named %Ziggy Stardust, the story falls apart quickly, yet Bowie's fractured, paranoid lyrics are evocative of a decadent, decaying future, and the music echoes an apocalyptic, nuclear dread. Fleshing out the off-kilter metallic mix with fatter guitars, genuine pop songs, string sections, keyboards, and a cinematic flourish, Ziggy Stardust is a glitzy array of riffs, hooks, melodrama, and style and the logical culmination of glam. Mick Ronson plays with a maverick flair that invigorates rockers like "Suffragette City," "Moonage Daydream," and "Hang Onto Yourself," while "Lady Stardust," "Five Years," and "Rock and Roll Suicide" have a grand sense of staged drama previously unheard of in rock roll. And that self-conscious sense of theater is part of the reason why Ziggy Stardust sounds so foreign. Bowie succeeds not in spite of his pretensions but because of them, and Ziggy Stardust -- familiar in structure, but alien in performance -- is the first time his vision and execution met in such a grand, sweeping fashion. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide |

The cliché about David Bowie says he's a musical chameleon, adapting himself according to fashion and trends. While such a criticism is too glib, there's no denying that Bowie demonstrated remarkable skill for perceiving musical trends at his peak i...Full David Bowie Biography
