The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars

ambivalent

Love this. A few tracks I've never heard before

I just don’t think that David Bowie is for me. Obviously the big songs are great, but every other song on this album fell flat for me. I was wholly uninterested in it, I was really ready for it to blow my mind and it didn’t at all. I get it was influential, but it just didn’t do it for me. Favorites: Starman, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City

There's a part of me, weirdly, that wants to criticise it for something. But I can't.

Not my fav Bowie. The tracks on this that you find in Best Of and Essential playlists are picked out for a reason. Half a great album, half a meh album. Half marks.

Every time I hear it I like it more. Bowie is fun, I have to give him that. I do wish that more of the songs actually felt like songs I wanna sing along to, but hey

2 listens, maybe a third today... it works, super fun. Something new pops out each listen. Catchy songs and the album flows together like a sonic river.

Extremely 5 stars. I love Low but this is probably my favourite Bowie album. Generated on my birthday. The album generator is always watching 👀

Classic.

Thank you ma’am!

I think Station to Station is still my favorite Bowie album. Overall, I’m glad to have given this a relisten. Listening after a decade, I can tell my tastes have moved further away from glam rock and the ballads don’t hit the same as they did when I was a teenager. That being said, it’s still an incredible record that I can really appreciate as the launching point of Bowie’s career to start taking bigger swings.

I know a lot of people really love Bowie. He's got some heaters, but I did not roll through this album thinking that every track was, even if he had some interesting instrumentation. Favorite track was It Ain't Easy, though starman is always fun so honorable mention.

#980. If I've learned only on thing from doing this, it's that David Bowie is aggressively mid. Certainly one of the most overrated artists I'm aware of. There are nine Bowie albums on here, and it really should have just been this one and Heroes. All the other ones kinda just suck. 3/5: ok

Great album, I actually own this one which is kinda neat.

Alle kjenner Starman og Ziggy, evige bangers. Gøy å høre de i kontekst.

Love it

I don’t see this the same as everyone else. It’s a fine album. There’s nothing wrong with it, but Bowie’s peak was the run of Station to Station, Low, Heroes This is just a handful of good tracks and another handful of slightly less good tracks. I would never hate this album, but I must be missing why even thinks it’s *so* good

Finally a David Bowie album I actually like almost all the way through.

A surprise Bowie hit for me.

Insanely good album! It's that one album that has a bunch of hits for David Bowie. It's amazing! It's my absolute favorite David Bowie album! It has earned it's place in pop culture! Truly masterful!

It’s genuinely so inspiring to listen to someone fully commit to their concept. The vision here is so complete and in the process he makes some absolute bangers.

Uh oh, is this gonna be a taslking heads thing for me wherer I only like it a little or only like the hits of an acclaimed artist? Time will tell

Hell god baby damn no!

My favorite Bowie album and the third one we have had to listen to so far. This is the pinnacle of the early 70s. 9/10 Top song Suffragette city

10/5

I guess it has to be a five hahah

GOAT

An absolute masterpiece. Perfect from start to finish.

An acquired taste with bold flavors. Great album

Well. Considering EVERY David Bowie album made the cut, there has to be at least one good one, right? Firstly, that is insane. I know the fellow was innovative, but for every one his records to be amongst the most important ever? Insane. Brief catalogue re-review: Blackstar was interesting, if nothing else and everything else has been pretty gruesome. Station to Station? Yeah errm CHANGE the station. Young Americans? Pile of shit. Aladdin Sane? I don't remember anything about it, besides the miserable feeling it left me with. Low? Garbaggio (Shoutout paisano Bowie haters worldwide) (disclaimer: I am not Italian). This is the one that I thought might have a chance. Ol' Ziggy needs to pull through because his British twink alter ego has come up with mostly zeroes thus far. This is really the first time that I've "got" David Bowie. Before today, my lowly intelligence could simply not comprehend the greatness appreciated by the always intellectual mainstream. This record; however, is full of life, passion, and creativity. A true space oddity. Another dismal workday brightened slightly by a reasonably decent rock record. Huzzah. 3 GENRE: Finally, a good one.

it is an honor, of a sort, to be the most overrated artist on a list that includes so much of The Beatles and Bob Dylan On paper Bowie should work for me and I’m actively trying to change my own mind but with every listen I like it less. Why do I hate this when I otherwise love this kind of oddity, bands with singers who can’t really sing, concept albums, androgyny, convoluted backgrounds, etc? Bugs me to no end that I can’t sort this out.

3.18

Great conceptual album. I liked it a bit less than Heroes though - preferred the instrumentation and darker undertones there. Still some classics on here and just a very listenable album. I'd go a high three stars.

God it’s just so good… put your ray gun to my head??? Diabolical. This freak.

I mean yeah this is Bowie's opus.

I’m a Bowie fan, and enjoy his Ziggy Stardust phase.

As this is my third David Bowie album in the last month or so, I've recently written a bunch about how I've never been much of a fan of his music. A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to listen to Station to Station and absolutely loved it, so I thought maybe I'd turned a corner on this. I had never listened to this record before today. I have no clue how that happened, as I had friends who were fans and we played all kinds of albums all the time back in the late 70's/early 80's. When this came up today I was hesitant, as this is the holy grail of Bowie albums. I wondered if I'd be heretical or would I absolutely "get it." What happened is that it's somewhere in the middle. I ended up listening to it twice, just to be sure. Midway through I was wondering what all of the fuss was about, and couldn't imagine this was considered one of the greatest albums of all time. Towards the end I was beginning to understand a bit more, but I decided I needed to listen with the lyrics in front of me to give it a better chance. I was listening in the car and not able to give it my full attention, and it felt like this is the type of album that deserves that attention. After the second listen I can say I get it. I now understand why it's so beloved as a record. It tells a story from start to finish, and also has a bunch of killer songs. There are songs I felt were filler, but I can also see how others would disagree. Standouts for me were Five Years, Soul Love (beautiful song), Starman, Lady Stardust, and Rock 'n' Roll Suicide. It's not a perfect album and won't get a five rating from me, but I do think I understand why it's so special to so many people.

i'm sure there will be much bowie on this list. this is a very good album, but i hope others rank higher. i was happy to listen to this old friend as it's been a while, and i hope it's a prelude to other listenings from bowie

Legitimately one of the best rock albums in this list, earns it. Extremely listenable, a loose concept that works, insane title and great album cover. It just all works so well.

Amazing

I still don’t love his voice but I can’t justify taking a point away when everything else on this album is that good

Perfect

Every time I listen to a David Bowie album it feels like the first time

3/5

Love the creativity on this, and Starman is a classic. I'm not the most familiar with Bowie but think this a strong album.

Pretty good. I've never been enamoured with Bowie's performances - the songwriting is excellent but it's just not for me. I fully accept that's a me-problem though. Favourite tracks: Moonage Daydream, Starman

4.5

Super album ! Je retire une étoile pour son nom qui est trop long

Quasiment comme 'Rise and fall' de Madness, mais avec des bonnes musiques, et sans black face L'album en entier passe extrêmement vite car rien n'est à jeter et certaines musiques sont des classiques intemporels Je n'ai jamais été un grand fan de David Bowie, mais j'ai hâte de découvrir d'autres albums

I have never really listened to Bowie before, but he has unique music and I can see why people like him.

Great album by David. So much better than black star. Very enjoyable story telling through the music of this album.

Sensational, the story told by this album is fun to follow as a perfect medium to tell such a story. The fact that it is told through some of David Bowie's finest music really makes this a rare but truly exceptional example of the mixture of storytelling and song writing. The instrumental arrangements in these songs move so creatively, building the scene and emotions around the story in a compelling and colorful way. A glowing example of the additional potential hidden within the traditional artistic expressions of music, this is an album most certainly best enjoyed as a journey from beginning to end. This album most certainly sits near the peak of musical accomplishments, and sits as the crown jewel to David Bowie's long and storied musical career.

As expected from Bowie, this is a great album with many enjoyable songs and a lot of variety. The albums lacks some depth as many of the tracks that aren't hits don't offer quite as much to the listener, but the hits are very strong. I could listen to each many times and enjoy them forever.

2026.06.23.

There's one legitimately good song, Starman, and the rest is about what you'd expect from David Bowie.

Better than Coldplay

Best Album Ever!!!!

О, а це цікаво. З задоволенням послухаю. Ну мені відразу заходить. Starman - бенґер, вибачте за банальність. Ziggy Stardust теж дуже подобається.

Best Album ever

Best Album ever

l'intro est incroyable

Classic Bowie sound!

David Bowie's best album and possibly the greatest rock album of all time

A brilliant glam-rock concept album. Was a bit unsure of the first two songs but everything that comes after is pretty brilliant. Moonage Daydream, It Ain't Easy, Lady Stardust & Ziggy Stardust the standout songs for me. Lyrically sublime rock and roll.

One of Bowie's best and most conceptual albums. It introduces his alter ego Ziggy who gets sent down to earth to become a rockstar and gets crushed by fame and the rock'n'roll lifestyle, leading to his suicide in the last song. He delivers this storyline with creative and engaging writing and an almost opera-like grandiosity straight from the start. Five Years starts the album off on a slower note, but eventually builds up into this dramatic crescendo that makes for a fascinating and engaging start. From there the album serves one catchy bop after another. Soul Love has amazing influences from funk and r&b, styles that Bowie would incorporate more on other albums and he always sounds great doing it. Moonage Daydream has absolutely insane e-guitar passages that make the song feel so surreal. Then Starman hits you with one of the catchiest choruses ever. Instantly memorable. The chord progression around it also makes it hit. The middle of the album is slightly weaker, but picks up with an amazing 3-song stretch at the very end. Rock'n'Roll suicide is one of the best album closers ever. Not only does it tie the story perfectly, but the way the guitar in the background builds up over the duration of the song, starting from pretty toned down and eventually climaxing into this massive crescendo is one of my favorite moments in music. I think this is easily one of Bowie's best, but also just an incredibly accessible and easy to enjoy record.

Woah, I was actually thinking about this album and wondering if it was gonna be on this list just this morning!!! I already know I love it, very happy to be listening to this on my way into the lab!

Its god damn David Bowie!

Super

Top tier Bowie.

Conflicted here, some definetely bangers but overall a weird sloppy feel to it...

good

starman was really the song that got me into music when i was 14, i had always loved music but hearing that for the first time through my headphones on my iphone 6s rose gold was magical

6/10 i dont like the pacing of some of his songs

Star man is one of my favorite songs, rest of the album is good, but that song is the highlight for me.

Ohhh Le bangeur Yeah this one rocks. Bowie channels his best rock opera and some Elton John influence and produced an all time record here. Ziggy Stardust was the first Bowie song I ever liked, so it’s nostalgic for that reason, but it’s a well crafted, tight album no matter how you slice it. 11 songs, 38 minutes: strap in for some androgynous rock robot from outer space shit. Favorites: moonage daydream, starman, ziggy stardust, suffragette city ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust has consistently been one of my most favorite albums of all time, so relistening to it is always a treat. It's so good from front to back, no skips all hits. You'd be hard pressed to find a better album then this. Fav Songs Rock N Roll Suicide Starman Suffragette City Is it Top 1001 Worthy (is it essential)? Yes, 1000000%. And anyone who argues otherwise is crazy.

One of my favourite albums of all time. Grand, beautifully written, and incredible.

Goed

Not the wholly classic album everyone makes it out to be but oh so close! 4.5/5

Starts with one of my favourite songs ever! Love this album for a long time, still stands up on thus listen. One of the best albums ever! 5 5 Heard before? Yes Owned: Yes. 82/319 (25%) Will I get: Already have

Listened before this

Not my cup of tea. Really liked Starman and It Ain't Easy.

Beautiful

3,5 en realidad

Dog is named Ziggy!

I mean it's David Bowie, what more is there to say

8/10 This was one of my more anticipated albums. Happy to report it was worth the hype.

A major Bowie milestone. Starts off slow and owns the turntable by the time the music ends. A masterpiece.

yes

One of the greatest albums of all time. That is all

Fantastic

Never liked Bowie. And was expecting this peak Ziggy period to be the pinnacle of his pretensive bollocks. Was surprised to find not so at all. Rock-y and riff-led, with hints of Beatles and Cat Stephens, listened twice through back to back. And enjoyed.

Few good tracks. Bit hit and miss.

Fuck Bowie, he was a wrong un. Still, this album is better than the others I've been forced to endure so it gets an extra couple of stars...

Starman y rock n roll suicide mis favoritas. Creo me gusta más su voz en canciones más tranquilas

Music that was at worse in-offensive and at best delightful. I can understand why this album is one that people talk about and im sure at the time of release was groundbreaking.

The best Bowie era. Love the concept album when done well. All around fantastic album. 4.5

Highly enjoyable album. Some massive songs and no filler. 38 mins is a lean album

5 star all day long - never gonna be anything else

Rating: 5/5 Playlist track: Lady Stardust/ Moonage Daydream (Honourable mention guitar riff in Ziggy Stardust) Date listened: 6-7/06/26 Listen when: Evening drive through a city Oh isn't it wonderful. Took a couple listens to get to 5 stars but it gets deeper the more you listen, every song has a purpose for the album. Has to have the most insane album opening of Five Years of all time. Space theme still there throughout hell yeah. Let all the children boogie truly.

Turns out that I don't actually like David Bowies music that much. But I love Ziggy Stardust.

it's not the type of genre i'm really that passionate about BUT it's undeniably an iconic album. giving it a 4 because of Starman

laaaa laaaa laaa la laaa, laaa laaa la laaaa laaa laa la laaa

It is very good. At some point I need to weigh in regarding replay-value, and like, I just don't see myself ever listening to this again. So instead of praise I give this respect. 3.5

Yeah it's Bowie at his best, no need to say more. But I will. Beautiful album, fantastic storytelling, so catchy but also with some brilliant moving moments. I can imagine how this changed the brain chemistry of so many teenagers when it first came out. Top Tracks: Five Years Moonage Daydream Starman Ziggy Stardust Suffragette City

el inicio de soul love!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Buen album. se disfruto. un solido 3 la verdad.

Pretty good as expected

Hermosa tapa. Tiene épica, suena a musical. Quiero otra escucha leyendo las letras. Me gustó.

How on earth have I never listened to this album from start to finish?! Vocals, storytelling, instruments were wooooah. Can’t even choose my favs.

Is there a better 3track ending to an album?

I have only listened to four David Bowie albums but i know for a fact that this is his best one. It is not a long album, easy to listen to and is structurally uncomplicated (in comparison to most prog rock albums around this era), but it perfectly delivers a loose narrative about a bisexual alien rockstar caught up in a web of drugs, sex, politics and the threat of impending doom against the earth. This is his breakthrough album that shows him at his most creative, despite some critics having a lukewarm opinion at the time, but that just shows how how ahead of his time he was. This would later inspire other artists to explore similar themes about music, hedonism and political corruption, such as The Downward Spiral by Nine Inch Nails (David Bowie was one of trent reznor's biggest inspirations and were good friends in real life) and Mechanical Animals by Marilyn Manson.

It's Ziggy innit

Was okay but not memorable

Classic build ups, wonderful writing.

Fantastic, progressive(?) glam rock album.

10/10, no notes. Masterpiece

My favorite Bowie album (that Ive listened to). Mark Ronson brought so much to his sound.

The unique sound of David Bowie changed from album to album. This sounds nothing like his previous two records. It is ambitious, bold and ambiguous at times, but it’s always great . 4.5 stars

I can't say anything negative 5/5. RIP David Bowie. apparently the labyrinth is good too

Pre Listen: Ah, another album I listened to in full ages ago. I remember adding Starman to my playlist, but that's about it. I got a good number of other Bowie songs on my playlist, so I'm glad to give it another listen. Notable Tracks: Starman - My favorite on the album, how can it not be? The flow of the song is so perfect, starting with simple acoustics, and having more instruments join as the song progresses. I adore the violins most of all. Lady Stardust - I didn't remember this one, but man do I love it. That piano is great, adding to my playlist. Star - My least favorite on the album. I didn't really enjoy the stop-go-stop-go melody they had going on. I get how it fits the lyrical message about being a super-star, but I couldn't get in to it. Rock And Roll Suicide - Another banger I didn't remember. Debating on adding it to my playlist, I'll have to sit on it. Post Listen: This album was a lot better than I remembered. The songs overall ranged from a bit boring at worst, to certified classics at best. I got this album after dealing with what felt like a deluge of Punk albums where everything sounded the same, so having more than 3-4 instruments over the course of the album was like getting a much needed breath of fresh air. Bowie's voice is so unique, but his lyrical wordplay also ranges from a bit bland, to absolutely poetic. I have complicated feelings with Bowie's works, I've always loved a handful of his songs, but generally but feel ambivalent about the rest. This results in feeling as though I really cherish Bowie as an artist, but I don't cherish any of his albums. Because I enjoyed it a lot more than the last time I listened to it, and for Starman alone, gotta give this piece of work a 4.

It’s not really doing it for me too much

1: covers of great songs in a country vibe.

Some belters, remember this from when I lived with my sister and mum

One of my personal favorite albums, and my opinion remains unchanged after this listen.

I will re-listen, but I know this album inside and out and it is absolutely a 5 star. Totally unique for its time, the (first) moment Bowie really became Bowie, great rock songs all around with the glam and arrangements that would go on to define Bowie's contemporaries/admirers (T. Rex, Iggy Pop, etc). This album rules

When I reminded myself of the track list for this I wondered if it was worthy of a 5. It most certainly is!

I think I start every Bowie review with "not my favourite but it's up there" and I thought that about this one but actually maybe it is my favourite. I always say it's Hunky Dory but listening to this again it is so damn good. Bowie has never been my single favourite artist or songwriter, but he's up there. His ability to reinvent and stay relevant is just mind blowing and I'm not sure any other artist has ever done it so well.

I liked the overall vibe of the album. Interesting character of Ziggy Stardust, and had the very familiar song Starman which was very approachable. However, David Bowie has that 'shouting/screaming' singing style which worked in most songs but came as a bit annoying in others. Other than that, catchy tunes and an overall solid album.

I think Bowie might be the only artist I've seen this many times on the this list that I'm always super excited to see. Great album.

5/5. Though I tend to be more of a Station to Station and Berlin era Bowie enjoyer, Ziggy Stardust is still Ziggy Stardust, it’s pretty damn close to perfect. Opener “Five Years” is one of Bowies best, he absolutely sells the emotion of the people realizing the world only has a few years left. Same goes for the album closer “Rock and Roll Suicide.” And the album is filled with classics like “Moonage Daydream “starman” or “Ziggy Stardust” which is to say this tracklist is stacked, and runs a tight 39 minutes so it really doesn’t waste a second.

Finally, THE Bowie album. And it was just okay. It's generic classic rock, which is fine but not something that really resonated with me

this album is really good. its incredible. it stands the test of time. one of the few albums with many, many singles and overplayed songs that still resonate and dont feel overplayed. top tier album. bowie is a creep though. big bummer.

It's a really boring album. He didn't sing well.

Not my favorite Bowie album. The only reason I gave this ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ is that I gave Dizzee Rascal 4 stars yesterday because I thought some of it was pretty interesting and well-crafted. And while you can say many things about Mr. Bowie you definitely can’t say that he’s not more interesting than Mr Rascal. See in what predicament my OCD got me here?

BOWIEEEE savo zeg t is rigged maar t is gwn goeie muziek . beter dan saaie rock maar

kijk het is een klassiek album maar ik ben niet echt een bowie fan.. het is niet mijn stijl en dit was echt best kinda saai

I guess it was fine. I loved Hunky Dory, but this album just doesn’t do anything for me. I'm actually disappointed that I'm disappointed.

It’s kind of amazing how every track is expansive and complex, yet tight and compact.

It’s just a really easy, good‑time rock record. You throw it on, it hits, and you don’t have to overthink a thing. Every layer (instruments and vocals) play so well together.

This is one of Bowie's best albums and probably one of the best albums of all time. Some absolutely classic songs on this album.

so many iconic albums i haven't heard all the way through. reminds me of how much i like this exercise! i like five years a lot also starman is a classic (enough said). how catchy are the melodies and the instrumentals being loudly mixed over the vocals which almost seem background to me - i think it suits the intentions of the album well. i like rock and roll suicide as well, the arrangement is so texturally fun and interesting throughout. don't really feel that deeply about ziggy stardust despite it being the title track / centre piece because of the lyrics. tried hard to get into it :/

My favourite Bowie album. I feel like the guitar driven sound on most of this album is not necessarily what Bowie was known for in his career, but it works so good. With a simpler approach, this album really feels like it showcases his songwriting abilities. Both Five Years and Rock and Roll Suicide are masterclasses in songwriting - emotional , intense are real, and they bookmark this album from start to finish perfectly. This was one of the first albums I was familiar with at a young age when my parents dug out their record player and stack of LPs from the 70's. I'm so glad this made an impression on my musical taste and influence and I still find it just as intriguing.

While this isn't my favourite Bowie album anymore, it's an undeniable classic and is basically perfect front-to-back. I don't really have anything else to add that hasn't already been said about this absolute masterpiece.

Bretty gud. Rockin with the soulful bluesy vibes on side A.

Oh my God, where do I begin. This is the album that taught me how to love music beyond individual songs. I will always keep this album close to my heart.

Great album but not my fave bowie

Bowie is a bit hit and miss in my view, but this is fantastic!

Among his peers, he is a legend, but I don’t like one song on this album. I would rather listen to the labyrinth soundtrack, which I’m sure is not his best work.

God spoke unto David and said David create a masterpiece, create a magnum opus, create a piece of work that will go down the musical history and we'll be listening to and assessed and reassessed for all maternity. And David said 'OK mate'. And here we have a man at the peak of his power, musically supreme, the last three tracks being possibly the best ever last real tracks to appear on any album. Needless to say I like this

Lepsi strana tohle je album s remastry, mozna ty 'normalni' jsou lepsi

Very cool. Creative. I dig.

Bra alltså

Does Ziggy count as a fursona? Inquiring minds want to know. Yet again, a Bowie album with a whole band’s worth of identity and development, distinct from the others yet not out of place among them. He seems to have had a lot to think about with this production and the result is indeed pretty thoughtful. It’s not my favorite of his eras, but I definitely don’t disagree with people who really dig this.

I remember listening to this album on my way to school in January 2016 after learning of Bowie's passing. So many memories came back from that time. Ten years later I've still got so much more Bowie to go through. A truly out-of-this-world talent.

My favourite Bowie album to date. It's strong and consistent. 'Moonage daydream' is epic. Lots of classic moments. But I'm not a fan of the OTT theatrical style and so will never love a Bowie album.

Its still David Bowie, so its still enjoyable. However it wasn't what I would hope for from a David Bowie album on this list, and thus I was left mildly disappointed. I guess that tells you more about expectations and why you shouldn't have them than anything else.

Bowie's first truly great album, front-to-back. Solid 5 Stars.

It’s well above a 5. It’s not quite a 10, though it could possibly get up there someday. It’s not my favorite Bowie album we’ve gotten so far (probably a tie between Blackstar & Station to Station), but it is the most expertly crafted of his albums in terms of a natural flow, and one that’s so consistently strong without any kind of miss in between that I’d be remiss not to agree with the consensus that it’s probably his best album. Granted, I don’t fully understand the plot here – obviously, Ziggy Stardust’s entire personality being consumed by fame & leading the vain angel to fall back to Earth & seemingly die is the overarching story, but I feel like there’s a lot of little gaps my brain never filled in around the middle (When did the Spiders get recruited as his band? Did he really die?). It’s a little bit loose conceptually, but if you’re solely looking at the plot, you’ve failed the test. David Bowie’s driving force, and the one that sells this album, is the ability to fully slip into the role of a musical savior. 6 years prior, John Lennon had said the Beatles were bigger than Jesus. I don’t know exactly what David’s reaction was to that, but I can’t help but wonder if it caused any kind of spark to get to this album. Ziggy Stardust, as a character, is a fascinating figure, and one that sort of feels like the anti-thesis of Bowie in his later years. One’s out in the open accepting the status of fame; Bowie himself retreated from it, in a way. With the musical prowess at hand on each of these tracks, it’s easy to believe in both Bowie as a musician starting his peak, and Ziggy Stardust as a character who can be the biggest rockstar in the world. They work hand in hand, & I do feel like there’s a lot of David Bowie embedded into Ziggy. His charisma & flair for showmanship makes the album, & when you combine that confidence with great songwriting, catchy melodies, and a concept strong enough to nearly be made into a musical, you end up with a recipe for a great album. It’s futile to go track by track here – going in, I only knew “Moonage Daydream” & “Starman” as the two monster hits, but the entire album ranges from good to great and beyond. “Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide” is a great closer, and even outside of the story, just a genuinely strong plea for strength. I initially perceived it as Ziggy’s shelf life as an artist coming to end, yet reaching out to meaningfully help at least one person before the 5 years are up, but it seems to be about Ziggy’s final concert where he gets mutilated by antimatter energy beings on stage. David was on the good shit back then, huh? Regardless, it was worth the 874 day wait to get here, and I think it’s easily deserving of something higher than a 5. The only reason I’m not at a 10 is because the album never hit at that much of a deeper level for me (i.e., being DEEPLY synced with Bowie here), but I think it’ll get there someday. I can’t wait to get “Heroes”.

Album is great. Listened to it a few times, but I wasn’t as locked in as I should have been. Didn’t expect the Superman song to be here, it was quite the surprise!! (Lollll) 22 may 2026

No skip album with many hits. Easy 5

Overall: 4.56 (rounded to 5) Consistency: 4.73 Originality: 4.5 Enjoyment: 5 Virtuosity: 4 1. Five Years - 5 2. Soul Love - 4 3. Moonage Daydream - 5 4. Starman - 5 5. It Ain't Easy - 5 6. Lady Stardust - 4 7. Star - 4 8. Hang on to Yourself - 5 9. Ziggy Stardust - 5 10. Suffragette City - 5 11. Rock 'n' Roll Suicide - 5

Einfach geil. Eig ziemlich insane sound layers aus vielen Instrumenten. Sicker bass und gitarren sound und dann layered da auch noch Blasinstrumente und klavier rein Haben genug weirdness aber auch genug hooks Alle songs haben schon nen gemeinsames Theme/Tonalität aber sind auch echt Abwechslungsreich Favs. moonage daydream, starman, lady stardust

So I have a rotating list of what I say is my "favorite album" when they ask, and this is undoubtably on there. Five Years, Soul Love, Starman, Moonage Daydream, It Ain't Easy, Ziggy Stardust, Sufragette City and Rock N Roll Suicide are all magical songs that I cannot understate the formitive importance of for my music taste. Especially the latter, which is one of my favorite songs ever and is such an incredible album closer. I really love the concept of an impending apocalyptic event, and whilst the album plays quite loosely with the concept, I think that actually helps it. The listening experience of the album as a whole, as opposed to being a collection of singles like some on here, make listening to this straight through a treat! I'd be here forever if I went through each and every thing I love about this album, so I'll cut it off here. Absolute 5.

Just full of hits. Not even my favorite Bowie album, but there are a ton of Bowie classics on here. Suffregate City, Starman, Moonage Daydream, It Ain't Easy, just full of good songs. The overarching theme isn't quite as apparent to me, but it doesn't really need to be.

5/10 Best songs: It Ain't Easy, Suffragette City, Rock 'N' Roll Suicide Some misses/filler; the album doesn't really flow; and David Bowie doesn't exactly have the best voice... but there are some truly outstanding songs, and I'm a sucker for a concept album. I think the album's weaknesses overtake its strengths for me, but I understand why someone might love it.

a forever fave!!

Bit of a no brainer. Great stuff

This is an easy one to judge. Great throughout with the highlights of the big hits.

I really really really wanna zig-a-zig-stardust

05/19 Good album

This had some good tracks, think this is what I expected Elton John to sound like and I actually enjoyed it. Spaceman is great and grew on me more than before.

Classic

Great stuff.

Fabulous iconic album. 4.5 mainly for nostalgic reasons

Absolute banger of an album. So funky and fun. Suffragette city was a particular favourite. A couple of skips though and I didn't like rock n roll suicide and when you don't like the opening or closing track of an album it really lets it down

Although the album felt ‘flung’ together and didn’t really flow there is some really solid tracks on this album amongst a couple of fillers. ‘Five years’ is an absolute tune and by far the best track on the album. ‘Moonage daydream’ ‘ziggy stardust’ and ‘suffragette city’ also absolutely brilliant tracks. ‘Starman’ on the other hand feels really overrated as the popular song off the album and I didn’t enjoy, I also wasn’t keen on ‘soul love’ either. But no denying what an absolute legend. Favourite track- ‘five years’ Worst track- ‘starman’ Solid solid album though 8/10

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust I'm calling Emperor's New Clothes on this. Following the perfection of Hunky Dory, there is no way this collection of weaker songs, lighter melodies, and more cluttered arrangements hits the same heights. The big hitters of Star and Ziggy are over rated, there's filler galore in Hang on to Yourself, Lady Stardust and It Ain't Easy. Suffragette City is the only great tune. And the whole 'concept album' thing was only cobbled together to cover up a collection of stuff with no direction. Best Track - Suffragette City Worst Track - Starman (sounds like a bloody Rolf Harris song or something) 6/10

Very nice 3.5/5

This may be blasphemy now, but the record while good, is far from perfect. The key tracks remain good after all the years that have elapsed, but the rest of the record is thin. When this came out the hits - Suffragette City, Starman , Ziggy Stardust and Rock n Roll Suicide were immediately attractive. What caused the most difficulty was asking why is there a fucking Elton John track on the record? I know if you are reading this you’re saying WTF is he talking about? There’s no Elton track on this record. But once I point out the track, you will never be able to listen to that track again and not say “WTF, that’s an Elton John track!” So, now listen to the record again and then when you get to “Lady Stardust” tell me I’m not right. Go ahead - do it now. Apart from that disturbing distraction the 1st two tracks are a bit slow and in my view, not on par with the rest. So there you have it. After the Record has been hyped enough to be of cultural significance it simply is just a good record, perhaps really good even, but far less than WOW this is fucking awesome! It’s just not that. 4/5

Une revisite après plus d'une dizaine d'année. J'avais à l'époque retenu 2 chansons à garder dans ma playlist: Starman et Ziggy Stardust. Aujourd'hui, la sélection a changé: Moonage Daydream (et son sublime solo final), Hang On To Yourself, (toujours) Ziggy Stardust et Suffragette City. A noter que sur une écoute d'album entier, je préfère le timbre grave de la voix de Bowie.

This album is so good. It ignites the need to create. I think this is an easy 5, a great 5, but I’m not fully sold on it being one of the greatest albums ever made. I liked Low more than this but maybe I won’t after sitting with it. This album is undeniable and I can’t really find the words to describe just how genuine and unique it is.

Incredible ! Dramatic, alien, beautiful, with a powerful flowing energy. Some great songs too. 9/10

Holy crap, best Bowie album by far

Five Years- Nice drums,just simple throughout the whole song but good,The vocals are pretty good,also pretty good lyrics,9/10 Soul Love-Nice song and ncie vocals and lyrics of course,8.7/10 Moonage daydream-the electric guitar is so nice,simple but nice,memorable chorus,nice percussions,9.2/10 Starman- what to say other that the song is amazing,from the beggining to the end,the vocals,bass,guitar,everything is amazing,10/10 It ain’t easy- nice,short song,nice guitar and lyrics,8.7/10 Lady Stardust- Nice piano intro and throughout the whole song,melody is pretty good,nice vocals of course and lyrics,9.2/10 Star- Nice drums,nice guitar,9/10 Hang on to yourself- Nice bass and guitar,vocals also pretty good,9/10 Ziggy Stardust- Nice drum fills,nice storytelling,nice guitar,9.5/10 Suffragette City- nice and intresting song,9.2/10 Rock ‘n’ Roll Suicide- so chill and mellow,vocals are amazing,9.2/10 Album rating: 9.1/10

Nice

Super Dope

I like his style! Starman was the best song.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolut mästerverk! Ett av världens bästa album med rakt igenom bara bra spår. Kan inte få annat än 5a. Bäst är Five years, Soul love, Moonage daydream, Starman, It aint't easy, Lady stardust, Star, Hang on to yourself, Ziggy stardust och Suffragette City.

Quite possibly my favourite album of all time. The highs are unbelievable, the lows are non-existent, and then just when you think it’s done, on comes Rock ‘n’ roll suicide…

Listened previously. Expectations: High - Verdict: Masterpiece - I don't think I can really say anything about this album that hasn't already been said 100 times. What an incredible piece of art. Rock'n'roll at its finest.

Before starting this 1001 albums thing, I would discover music on my own or through recommendation, and then save that album to my library to be listened to later. This album was already on that list, so I'm glad to have the opportunity to listen to it. that being said, I wasn't extremely surprised; it just sounded like a decent David Bowie album to me. Of course he's very skilled at composition and arrangement, but this honestly was less interesting to me than the other two albums by him I've heard.

11 songs -- I like (quite a bit) the 4 songs that, to varying degrees, I've occasionally heard on the radio, over the years; the other 7 songs, though, are (to me) not as good. The best 2 (for me) are Suffragette City and Starman, followed by Ziggy Stardust and Moonage Daydream. But, as I say, the other 7 songs seem less interesting (I did go back and listen to at least parts of them again, to make sure). Hard to know how to rate this; I think it's between a 3 and a 4. I do have a vague sense of this kind of marking the end of the 60s, and noticed that Chicago Tribune Greg Kot (quoted in the Wikipedia article about the album) said something similar. So, I guess, kind of significant in the history/development of rock/pop music? But, just focusing on the music, I think I'm leaning slightly more to 3 than 4. The only song I REALLY like is Suffragette City (and some portion of that liking might just be nostalgia). Well, and Starman (which I became familiar with much later than with Suffragette City) is good, too. It's possible, of course, that if I continued to listen to the album, I'd grow to like the other 7 songs more. In that sense, I suppose, albums that come up here that I already know (the whole album) have an (unfair?) advantage - assuming I like the album, of course. ;) Anyway (!) . . . 3 stars.

I don't feel like one listen was enough to do this album justice. I mean it seems like an inspired production with some meaning behind the songs. I liked how snappy the drums are, the variety of vocal deliveries. The album has passion and charm. It didn't make me too eager to listen again so it sits around 3 stars.

i will always prefer bowie’s 76-79 era but this is fine. listened when i was 15

David Bowie is fire

Wish i could hear this one for the first time again because it’s perfect

157. theres a staaaarmaaaan

i might become a queer. so cool, i love this iconic music.

This was really good.

i thought someone else (billy something) sang starman before this point /srs

literally one of the greatest albums of all time

75

It's Dave, of course its ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

phenomenal. love u always david bowie

Yep, liked it. To the point, coherent yet diverse, cool.

Obviously a 5.

Ya había escuchado acerca de este álbum, pero nunca pensé que fuera tan bueno. No es solo el hecho de que parezca un álbum de 20 años después, si no que rebosa personalidad en cada tema.

forgot to rate after i listened so i can’t really remember but i think i enjoyed it a good amount

Bowie's best record IMHO. Classic

ssssischkomischh dass ich das nonie ganz gloset ha. würklich. ersti zwei songs sind cool, er verzellt mega gschichte und singt nice. aaah monage daydream kenni. im an aligator geeile opener. gitarre töned super dünn und doch hert. moll mega guet. starman au seehr geil, bass super. aso kenni norml. das isch glaub es album womer 20 mol cha lose. ich gseh was de max drin gseht. okay jo starman isch sooo guet. chords mached genau was mönd und d striicher passed und d melodie isch suuuuper. it ain't easy isch en meega kontrast zwüsched strophe und refrain. geil aber.

FREU MICH MEGAAAA five years findi recht cool, würkli recht rock-opera soul love gaht chli ab! und cools outro mit blöser MOONAGE DAYDREAM BANGER bi electric eye mussi immer ah judas priest denke hahaha wiso isch mier erst jz ufgfalle, dass de refrain vo starman wie somewhere over the rainbow ahfangt? de refrain vo it ain't easy het so öppis explosivs, very cool ziggy stardust isch sooo cool (au wenn ichs gfühl han, es hett nochli meh oompf vertreit, willd gitarre eig recht abgaht) aber de schluss isch mega antiklimaktisch?? seehr es cools album und nöch amene 5i aber irgendöppis fehltmer mo, wahrschindlich au eifach will ich nöd de grööööst glam-rock fan bin (abgseh vo t. rex natürlich) aber s het sehr spass gmacht

Flawless album. Need to re-listen over and again. Fav tracks: Five Years, Soul Love, Moonage Daydream, Star, Ziggy Stardust RYM: Y (#13) Saved a song: Y

An absolute masterpiece

This is one of those albums where everything feels completely locked in. David Bowie fully disappears into the Ziggy Stardust character, but the album never comes across as just an exercise in image or theatrics. Underneath the glam rock surface are genuinely strong songs, and that’s what keeps the whole thing from feeling dated or gimmicky. The run of tracks here is ridiculously strong. 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 is the obvious highlight, but songs like 𝗠𝗼𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘆𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺 and 𝗥𝗼𝗰𝗸 ’𝗻’ 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹 𝗦𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 give the album its emotional weight. Bowie sounds charismatic all the way through, while the band keeps everything sharp and energetic without overplaying. Even at its most dramatic, the album still feels controlled and focused. What really stands out is how effortless it sounds. A lot of concept albums feel heavy or overexplained, but 𝘡𝘪𝘨𝘨𝘺 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘶𝘴𝘵 moves naturally from one moment to the next. It creates its own world without losing sight of the songs themselves. More than anything, it just feels cool in a way very few albums do.

It's great, but quite a bit of it didn't quite tickle my pickle as much as some of his other work.

It was a good listen, but nothing too crazy for me

listened to only "5 years" and "starman." Okay this song has some bangers, didn't listen to the whole playlist at first cus its another oldie.

On one hand, it’s not my favorite Bowie record. On the other, it’s still Bowie.

Iconic. Definitely a top 25 album for me, but I may change my mind later.

Not my favorite, but I didn't dislike it.

My rating 4.7. This album is amazing!

David was out of this world

Gorgeous stuff x

This is personally the greatest album of all time, Bowie at his best with performances and writing at his very best. It's all down from here for this list

My first 5 Star review. What a fantastic album from start to finish!

one of the best albums ever! a masterpiece!

this is my 3rd bowie album on here jfc but they just keep getting better and better

Simply a classic with so many hits that it' an easy 5. Favorite Songs: Five Years ; Moonage daydream ; Starman ; Hang on to Yourself ; Ziggy Stardust ; Suffragette City ; Rock 'n' Roll Suicide

Bowie's albums are like picking a favourite child. I like it better than a Aladdin Sane but less than some others. Moonage Daydream is my favourite track on this one.

Un clásico de Bowie

This album is of course one of the best known of all time, but David Bowie has never really done it for me. Not that this album is bad at all, it actually is pretty good, but I just don't really see the hype like most other people seem to do. 3/5

STARRRRRRRRMAN! This is a great album. Liked almost all of it. 4.5/5

Classique et super ! J'aime bcp Starman

Inagine writing a song as good as Moonage Daydream and it only being the fourth or fifth best song on your album. Just imagine being that good at making music. Because not many bands or artists can do that. But Bowie did and this whilst not my favourite is the most coherent thing he ever did. It’s world defining

If this guy could/wanted to sing well it’d be a 4/5

Bowie's magnum-opus on full display, loved everything the record had to offer. I usually zone out while I have music playing in the background when I'm doing stuff but I was locked in even if I was solving AP questions that are due in like 5 days. Favorite song was probably Lady Stardust even if I have every track on this album on my liked playlist now. If there was a decimal system (yes I know people frown upon it since it's essentially minimizing music to pointless optimizations), I'd give it like a 9.8. Thanks again to Bowie for blessing us with an album filled with glam and "flamboyancy" (at least that's the vibe I get from it), Rest in Peace.

3.6 It's not my usual thing admittedly, but from what I understand in 1972 it was groundbreaking and I can appreciate that. An early foray into art-rock that inspired so many others. First time listening to this, not my favourite Bowie album but certainly not the worst.

After a long drought, I was so excited to see this as my album of the day. Bowie the legend. Five stars.

interesante

What was it about rockers from this time period that makes them so interested in messiah figures. This share a lot of dna with Tommy. The narrative aspects of this album are kinda dumb aren’t they? There are a lot of hooky songs with great guitar riffs though. The title track features a monster riff. Good album. Not one I reach for very often.

first 4 songs are truly incredible. while the second half is good it’s really not as captivating to me and doesn’t have the pure awe that the first half inspires. Still fantastic though

Puse a reproducir la playlist antes de dormir, hace mucho no dormía tan bien. Antes de caer en el estado de sueño profundo escuchaba las palabras five years, five years una y otra vez de fondo, fue majuestoso y sublime. Gran álbum para alguien como yo que no aún no sabe ingles al 100%

Klassisk skiva med riktigt bra låtar

Classic. Can't beat it.

it's okay.

8/10

A beautiful, well constructed album from front to back. 5/5

I don't get why this is considered so amazing. Solid, but generic, pop rock.

Lo había juzgado antes de escucharlo y fue una sorpresa para bien. Todas las canciones se notan son del mismo álbum, muy bien armado.

perfect album

so good

It's pretty unclear to me exactly *what* the concept or story involved in this record is. The world is ending, Ziggy came from Mars to save us through rock n' roll, and then he dies, maybe? Totally unclear, but also, who cares, this rules.

The first Bowie album I ever heard. A rare album with absolutely no filler. So many highlights - I'll mention Moonage Daydream's lyrics and Soul Love's cool, laid-back tune as personal preferences. It doesn't get much better than this.

The sound was nice. The arrangement and sound of each track was great. I didn’t really enjoy the vocals. I couldn’t tell that it was a story if I didn’t know.

I am a strong believer in "situational" or "contextual" listening theory; in fact, I believed in this so strongly that I didn’t even know the formal name for it until five minutes ago. For me, this theory is the belief that the experience of listening to a record or track is heavily influenced by the setting you are in, whether it is a rainy, gloomy day in the city or one full of sunshine. I’ve heard OF this album before, know a song or two, and am familiar with Bowie’s later work, but I was also lucky enough to experience it during a rainy day here in Saint Paul. I found it shocking how perfect the album was for the odd day I experienced today. I am usually more outgoing and productive during the daytime, but perhaps because of the weather–or simply the complexity of these past few weeks and those yet to come– found this album to be incredibly fitting. Thinking about it now, out of the 1,089 other albums I could have been assigned today, it had to be this one; it’s something I can only describe as fate. My listening experience today felt like a total 10/10, but due to my beliefs, I can’t bring myself to officially rate it that high. I know there is a chance I could listen to this record tomorrow and not feel the same way, and not just because of potential fatigue. Without saying any more, I’ll give this album an 8/10—but when the setting is right, it is a perfect 10/10.

hard to rank bowie albums, or at least the good ones. and this is one of the best. push to shove, might have "hunky dory" above it. depends on the day. wham bam thank you ma'am.

Ziggy Stardust is a sensational album, a journey into a world in decline and crisis, of a man who comes down to earth and falls in love with the earth and decides to save it. In my opinion, it's very supermen and lorende more beautiful.

It was fun to dip into his alter ego and learn a little from his mind. To me so much of this embody Bowie, so it was just a beautiful trip into his inner thoughts.

My favorite Bowie album. I was VERY into this album around 2006 or so. I listened to the C.D. for weeks on my way to and from work. Great piano & guitar work. Fabulous songwriting. Soul Love is one of my favorites and has some nice saxsophoning. Suffragette City is one of the best rock songs ever. Hang On to Yourself is also a fun rocker. Ziggy Stardust shines like a cult classic anthem. And Rock n Roll Suicide still gives me chills after all these years. Love the way he builds that song. Perfect finish to an artistic masterpiece about feeling like a stranger in a strange land, an alien rock star from the stars.

Listening to this in the car did not do it justice, so I'm glad I listened again at home. This album is a beautiful piece of art. There's so much variety in instrumentation and the songs are so creatively composed. I really love all the lyrics throughout too, and the unique style of dramatics and flair only Bowie can bring. So fabulous!

An album I held out a long time for to find a good original copy on vinyl, and one I almost forget how many amazing Bowie songs are on. A masterpiece.

What else can even be said about this record that hasn't already been said before? Classic.

Bowie is always great!

More Glam Rock concept albums please

Manche Songs echt gut, all in all aber nichts was mich vom Hocker haut

Albumazo por donde sea que se le escuche

You don’t rate Ziggy Stardust. Ziggy Stardust rates you.

Great album from start to finish, not a lot to complain about here.

One of the great rock records. Absolutely love the narrative, the attitude, the hooks…… I already knew I was going to give this a five since I’ve listened to it so many times, so I went to look at the reviews. I love seeing so much love for “Five Years.” What an incredible track. But I think “Suffragette City” might be my favorite. Easily- FIVE STARS

Not a single bad song on this album. Every single song is a masterpiece and I'm not even a David Bowie Fanboy. One of these albums where I could never ever understand a 1 Star Rating.

If this website insists, I will listen to this album again.

Instant classic.

Dobré album bowie super interpret znala jsem jednu písničku z predtim t

This one was interesting. It's easy to see why David Bowie was as influential as he was. I often pay little attention to the lyrics, but this this time, I paid closer attention. Despite not being my favorite music from Bowie, I'm sure my opinion of this album would be higher if I had grown up around the time it came out. As it stands, I can only appreciate it for what it did.

I did not gaff but ill give this album a shot later first tracks didnt hook

3.5/5

It's a great album. I tried to get into early Bowie before and I never could, but I really enjoyed this and happy to out it into rotation for the occasional re-listen.

Im not gonna say anything new or revolutionary on a classic like this The build up in Five Years it superb. Its such a great opening song, and it swirls and builds into a beautiful last chorus that could afford to last another 5 minutes. Starman is probably my favourite bowie song. Classic This may be his best album as its superb

Five Years- I'm really liking these drums they scratch an itch in my brain! That was quite sad 😔 Soul Love- omg again the drums/percussion is so satisfying. I like the guitar intro! Moonage Daydream- I like that intro it's powerful! Woah I love this guitar solo/outro section?!?! With the strings OMGG???? Maybe my favourite so far Starman- omg #knowthissongalready. Omgg the iconic part! That was iconic It Ain't Easy- help I'm scared why is he singing like this... WAIT WHAT HAPPENED IT JUST GOT 10X BETTER. Oh nvm this is back... Idk how I felt abt that song I found the chorus fun but his voice made me cringe... Lady Stardust- I like this discordant moment. It was good but didn't stand out. Star- I like the instruments. Idk I'm losing inspiration for thoughts but it was good Hang Onto Yoursefl- I like the guitar in the intro. I like this rn omg the claps are nice. That was a fun song. Ziggy Stardust- I like the intro with the guitars. Yass the vocal crescendo! That was fun and some funny lyrics. I think Ziggy might play guitar? Suffragette City- I like the intro. The "hey man" annoys me a bit idk why 💀. I like the speed and rock vibes. WAIT IS THIS WHERE THE PHRASE WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM COMES FROM? Rock 'n' Roll Suicide- I like the acoustic guitar at the beginning! Is this going to be rlly sad 😔. OMG WAIT NO THAT WAS SO GOOD 😔💔 OK SO I get the Bowie hype. I think listening to some older albums will be refreshing because of just how many instruments there are. Like you can hear each one clearly I loved that. Current (initial listen) ranking: Moonage Daydream Rock 'n' Roll Suicide Five years Soul love Starman Ziggy stardust Hang onto yourself Star Lady stardust Suffragette city It ain't easy

De mis álbumes favoritos en la vida

Unbelievable album that shows why it’s a classic immediately

Its good, but still not my type of music

One of the most important albums to me personally. The storytelling, the melodies, the attitudes, the character / all amazing!

This entire LP is a fantastic LP. A defining moment for Bowie.

Really love to start listening to david bowie with this album

legendary album

Massor med bra låtar på detta album: Starman, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City och Five Years. David Bowie var en sådan spännande artist tycker jag. Han släppte detta album 1972 och det kändes ju som mycket före sin tid, häftigt. Jag gillar de flesta låtar och tycker albumet är bra, dock ingen 5:a för mig men väl en stark 4:a.

итак, снова Дэвид Боуи... вообще, спустя некоторое время, пересмотрел своё отношение к нему и к его музыке. я долгое время не признавал его и относился скорее предвзято, но сейчас, послушав больше разной музыки, в абсолютно разных жанр, с уверенностью могу сказать, что это неплохой музыкант, каким я его считал раньше. естественно есть какие-то решения, которые мне не нравятся и т.д., но в целом моё мнение изменилось в лучшую сторону этот альбом приятный, звучит классно, запоминающиеся партии музыкальных инструментов, хороший вокал, отличное сведение, атмосфера от альбома невероятная. это, наверное, пик его творчества? по-крайней мере я думаю что это так. итоговая оценка этого альбома 5/5. очень круто ДОБАВЛЮ ЕЩЁ! с того момента, как я послушал и оценил тут альбом "Aladdin Sane" прошло 8 месяцев. тогда я оценил его на 3/5 (это я ещё завысил, так бы поставил все 2/5, но не хотел быть предвзятым. ЛОЛ) сейчас я его оценю на 4/5, жаль оценку нельзя изменить спустя время!

I skipped some songs and got bored overall.

Bowie’s in space!!!!!!!!!!

I never cared much about Bowie before this list, but I’ve become quite a fan through this project. I talk about him in more reviews than I do any other musician, and it’s not even close. This is an era defining Bowie album, and who am I to argue with its influence?

Really liked starman, but the rest of the album felt poorly mixed and dated.

Classic of classics

Goated

An absolute all-timer. Put this on when you have a few people over, or maybe just when you're making dinner with your BFF, and it instantly becomes an epic time.

Probably my favourite of his yet

Not as good as the weird stuff but obviously great

One of the easiest five stars I have given

Come on , this is cover to cover certified perfection. It's not even my favourite album by him but it's just objectively
