Mott

Mom, can we have David Bowie at home? No, we already have a David Bowie at home The David Bowie at home:

Mott the Hoople are a weird one - started life as a meat'n'potatoes rock band much like early Slade, then got lucky at the last minute with a Bowie song, glammed it up and never looked back (for a while). Ian Hunter can't really sing, but his voice sounds great in context. Weirdly self-mythologizing, about of half of their big glam songs seem to be tales of hardship in their workhorse period, as if they were folk heroes returning from a foreign war or something. Obviously, stick to the Greatest Hits, but fully 50% of this album is on there. Have a 4 for the greatest hits (check out Roll Away The Stone, my favorite glam song, Bowie included) and for the fabulous album cover!

Always a fan of this group!! Not an album I had heard ..Loved it!

Unremarkable glam rock. Apparently Mott was offered Suffragette City by Bowie - they should have taken it.

Fun & upbeat. Reminded me a bit of some popular artists, one that comes to mind is Billy Joel.

Great

Loved everything about this album.

BOP AFTER BOP

9/10 fantastic glam rock album really love this stuff

I have always loved this album. It may have taken Mott a while to find their footing (with more than a little help from David Bowie and Mick Ronson), but they put it all together on this one. It didn't last long and after one more great album Ian Hunter went on to a long solo career (and is still making vibrant music in 2023 into his mid-80s). The combination of classic rock, glam and punk was perfect. Hunter's voice, always limited in range, wrote songs and arrangements that were aligned with such limitations, and Mick Ralphs guitar (on his last Mott outing before forming Bad Company) is tasteful and powerful.

Never heard of them before. I thought they sounded like David Bowie and then looked up the bands history. Awesome album.

Hadn’t listened to any albums, but liked their popular songs. This was great.

Mott the Hoople in the game of life.... yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.... in all seriousness, this is some stellar stuff and way more than I was anticipating. Whether this was at the zenith of the glam rock zeitgeist or at the beginning of the end, Mott is pure glamorous swagger throughout, from album cover on down. Don't dismiss the more soulful songs that are on the album too, Hymn for the Dudes and Ballad of Mott the Hoople!

Good classic rock

Fun

Great album this if you like influential Glam/Rock. Thanks to David Jones these boys played a little longer than they should. If it hadn't been for Bowie letting them have All The Young Dudes as a single after this then they would have quit a lot earlier than they did. Love "All The Way From Memphis" "Honaloochie Boogie" and "The Ballad Of Mott" which gives some insight into how close they where to quitting. Good Album and definitely on my list of Albums to hear before you die!

oooh I like this already. some incredible 70s rock n roll. wasn’t a fan of the first half of the double track “I’m A Cadillac/“El Camino Dolo Roso” but the second half was amazing made me feel some kinda way. love me an all guy band with tight trousers and long hair 😍

Decent stuff, you can hear Bowie inmost of their songs.

I don't really know anything about Mott the Hoople, but from start to finish this sounds *exactly* like a musical soundtrack album. I have no idea what the plot of the musical is, but the band is really into it, and it seems to be filled with a lot of campy, knowing irony. If nothing else, it feels like Meatloaf and Pulp traveled back in time and had this as a baby. An ugly, awkward but very musical screaming baby, with David Bowie perhaps looking on as godfather. Fun, but weird. (A shame that the Wikipedia entry has literally *nothing* useful about this album, although it *does* note that Bowie did indeed have a connection to them, having offered them two songs, "Suffragette city" (declined) and "All the young dudes" (fully embraced).) Edit: somewhat hilariously, I got about halfway through what I thought was this album (having followed the YouTubeMusic link from the project page), when I discovered that I'd been listening to "Hoople" (1974). Amazingly, when I found the correct album, I discovered my review so far remained largely the same, although I'd say that "Hoople" is if anything a bit more glam and musical-sounding, while "Mott" is a bit more Bowie-reverent.

Sometimes there are records that you should like or at least find interesting based off of your other tastes, but they end up doing nothing for you. This is one of those for me. Its a fine glam record, but it doesn’t really have charm or the highs of a Bowie or T-Rex record. Solid, but not earth shattering.

(if you want a more passable and more influential Mott album go with "All the Young Dudes") Mott the Hoople had a couple releases so far and if it wasn't for the smash hit 'All the Young Dudes', they would've broke up with today no one knowing who they were. But this single kept them above water for a couple more years until they disbanded in '74. This album is one of the two that most people point to as their biggest achievement album-wise and if you listen to the album, you soon realise that their highest points were pretty average and there isn't much special about the album. It's okay Glam Rock that definitely tries way to hard while succeeding with the fewest moments. Opening track 'All the Way From Memphis' sounds like Proto-Britpop which already throws me off. The hook's quite nice even if they should've done more and the piano riff is kinda cool but overall the song feels so over the top with what they tried to do that nothing really fits together and I am left wondering how this was extended into 5 minutes of a song. This should've been a two minute intro at max but not the fourth longest song. The bridge, the guitar, the vocals, nothing fits and it feels so... just not good. It's a bad song that could've been saved but wasn't. There's a little bit of Hard Rock in 'Whizz Kid' and that actually improves the song. It's got a nice theatrical structure with how the verses are presented and how they move into the pre-chorus. The vocals are less annoying, the guitar sounds good and it overall just works better even if it stays pretty boring. The first song was at least memorable for being not good, this is just boring with a couple of nice moments that aren't really extended on. 'Hymn for the Dudes' is dramatic, full of theatrical performance and builds up like some sort of Opera. It is a pretty decent song, I especially like the intro, and it for some reason reminds me of a certain song but I cannot pin down which one. But the song in general is, again, pretty boring. It's got moments that make me hope that it'll turn better but they just build on the basic aspects of the song instead of the good ones. The song's just a full on snoozer until the guitar solo but then it goes right back. With 'Honaloochie Boogie' we get the first actual good song. It has a nice Pop melody and some weird effects as well as a pretty alright chorus that is weirdly fun to listen to and pretty energetic. The song isn't like perfect or anything but it's alright. It's good. Listenable. And with 'Violence', the first half already ends. The song's a slight return to the heavier sound from Track 2 but this time with some Proto-Punk style both with the vocal delivery and the guitar riff. For some reason they added strings which doesn't fit at all and makes the song sound really weird and dissonant and not in the way were it's good, no this just makes the song bad. It doesn't work. The whole song feels off and like they can't play any of their instruments. It's just terrible, like actually unpleasant and not in the good way. 'Drivin' Sister' gets things going on the second side with some nice guitar riffs and an okay song arround it. It's got a Rock n' Roll feel to it with a lot of Boogie arround it. It's alright but the bridge doesn't fit at all and makes the whole thing twice as boring. The car sound effect is a nice detail but it doesn't safe the song from falling pretty short in general. It's not good and just boring. The slight harmonica blues additions on 'Ballad of Mott the Hoople' are quite interesting and the songs structure creates some moments that aren't bad at all. The main problem is just that the song is way to long and for being a ballad about themselves... it's pretty boring which does pretty much summarize them, I guess. Yeah, not a good song. For some reason they though having a 5 minute snoozer wasn't enough because they added a nearly 8 minute song right after. 'I'm a Cadillac / El camino dolo roso' is made up of two parts but that doesn't really matter as the first part, which is actually quite a good song, gets destroyed by the second half which is just... wait let say it in universal words: "Zzzz Zzzz". After around 3 minutes, the song removes most of the energetic Glam Rock and adds some very present acoustic guitar and turns the whole song into classic British Folk Rock but in bad. These few minutes are dreadfull boring with the few exceptions of a guitar breaking through which awake you from your slumber but as there isn't much more, you fall right back into other worlds that try to avoid whatever hits your ears as much as possible. Ok, that was maybe a bit too harsh but the song gets ruined and ends up being boring. The daring idea of the song is just not converted well at any point. 'I Wish I Was Your Mother' closes the album and the song is like most stuff here, pretty boring and without many interesting things. The only thing that makes the song somewhat cool? is the fact that the vocals for some reason feel a lot like some parts on "Pictures of You" by The Cure. Don't ask me why I think they sound alike but I do know that one of them is much better. This song is pretty boring and why the actual f is there a mandolin here??? favourites: Honaloochie Boogie, Whizz Kid least favourites: Violence, El camino dolo roso, All the Way From Memphis, I Wish I Was Your Mother Rating: light to decent 4 https://rateyourmusic.com/~Emil_ph for more ratings, reviews and takes

Glam rock is one of the easiest genres to mess up. It can be really good, or really bad. It isn’t hard to go completely off the deep end and make something really lame. Such is the case with this album. Most of what I’m about to say is going to sound really harsh. And I get it. If you and your bandmates had been at it for almost 4 years, were 6 albums deep, and had tried a multitude of different genres ranging from heavy psych to country rock, anybody would want to be like Bowie after seeing the success he had with Ziggy Stardust. And they had already attempted the glam rock thing in previous years. But what I wouldn’t recommend doing is swinging for the fences as hard as they do here. Maybe it’s not as bad as I’m making it out to be, but it feels like they are trying to really capture that same lighting in a bottle energy. Especially with the singer. Dude sounds eerily similar to Bowie. The problem with trying to “capture” that same energy is that there is only one David Bowie. And there’s a reason why no one has really come close to mastering the genre in the way he did. This has none of the personality or flair, and as far as I’m concerned, doesn’t revolve around any story or concept. Bowie always put a piece of himself into every project, one way or another. It’s what set him apart. This is just another 70s band of guys with long hair. Even with T. Rex, at least they had a little more going on. Beyond all of that, this is also very uninteresting. It feels stale after the first song, and the only real highlights are basically below average 70s rock songs. Just another one of the seemingly endless number of albums I’ll probably forget about a week from now. Rating: 4/10

Deeply disappointed, to where I started getting angry on behalf of all the talented people who never got any support from a record company while these guys apparently floundered for half a dozen albums. As far as I can tell, their only great work was whatever Bowie and Ronson had left in the tank after Ziggy Stardust and Lou Reed.

9/10. In my opinion, 1970's hard rock is hard to get wrong. This isn't the most innovative album of all time, but it is still thoroughly enjoyable!!! :)

Mott The Hoople were the living embodiment of rock and roll - and Ian Hunter still is. I love this band. Their Live album is criminally underrated and is easily in the top 5 live albums ever.

Really great album. Glam meets boogie rock perfected.. So many great songs, All the Way From Memphis, Honaloochie Boogie, Violence, Drivin' Sister and I Wish I Was your Mother. I l also just absolute love the way Ian Hunter sings on this album.

Really great record that doesn’t fit neatly into any category. Is it glam? There’s definitely a Bowie influence (or was it the other way around?). Rock and roll with sax and piano and Ian Hunters fantastic emotive vocals pulling all together perfectly. Also, I was introduced to Mott the Hoople in high school by a buddy who was a huge fan so there’s a big nostalgia factor here.

I cannot express to you enough how much I loved the music on this album. I literally lost myself when I was listening to the musical aspect. The vocals(although worked well with some songs) overall is just not my thing. Reminded me a lot of Bob Dylans voice, which again, I just can't appreciate. I would however keep this album in my steady rotation for the music alone. SO GOOD!

This album is so influenced by Bowie that it might as well be by The Spiders from Mars. To be clear, that is a compliment from me. Favorite track: Honaloochie Boogie

All The Young Ddudes – what a great track!

Banger enjoyed it very much. It’s as old as my mum also 🙃 8-9/10 idk.

Goofy hippies all day.

Great Album. Ian Hunter is underrated. One of the best, most identifiable voices in Rock. Big fan of his solo work. Saw the “reunion” show a few years ago and it was fantastic. These songs remind me of what it could of been if I was a few years older when this was released. Mandolin on “ I Wish I Was Your Mother”…now that’s Glam!

Pretty fire

Amazing

I love it

This is fine stuff, hitting the sweet spot between glam, hard rock, rock n roll and pop. Ian Hunter has the perfect voice for a mid-70s band, the songs are dry and witty and Mick Ralphs guitar is wonderful. One of those albums you can play time and time again with tiring of it.

👍🏻

Had forgotten about this album, solid work and great music.

a nice listen!! very bowie-esque at times (one song just sounds like they wrote a bowie song and sang with a bowie impression) but overall cool

This album fells like it would fit in the Bob Dylan catalog in the mid to late 70s. Enjoyable.

better than i thought it would be

Never listened to Mott and surprised how much I enjoyed this. Bowies influence all over it probably inflated the score but still some great songs (Memphis and hymn were highlights)

It got a bit messy in the middle, but other than that, I quite enjoyed that. My favourites were All the Way from Memphis and Ballad of Mott The Hoople.

4.0

The lyrics are a bit unremarkable, but sometimes they’ll unleash the tastiest guitar tone ever. Overall it’s a bit of a wash, but I want the info on their rig.

I think the only song I know by Mott the Hoople is All The Young Dudes, which was given to them by David Bowie and is the title track to their album before this one. That song and album launched them into glam rock stardom out of nothingness and I never really understood why. But this album has a cool sound with some great riffs. So maybe there's more to the band that I thought. Yeah, they almost sound too much like they're ripping off Bowie. But I really liked All the Way from Memphis, Whizz Kid, Violence, and Drivin Sister - great glam rock rockers. Honaloochie Boogie and I'm a Cadillac were pretty good too. Hymn for the Dudes and The Ballad of Mott the Hoople were a bit pedestrian and sounded too much like each other - maybe they should avoid retreads of the previous album or their own band name. On first listen this album was a solid 3 but listening again it was even better.

I like their style, but admittedly they sound pretty dated and repetitive. I'll give them an extra star for simply having a style I like, which means I'd listen again, but don't know if I needed a full album to get a sense of that style. Favorite tracks: All the Way from Memphis (minus the racial slur that they would later remove live), Whizz Kid, Violence, I Wish I Was Your Mother.

Liked it more than I thought I would! Fun Bowie/Dylan worship with some nice guitar playing

First song sounds like taking a stroll at the first day of spring. Album is really versatile, almost like the course of the seasons

I liked this album. its sound was good and was pretty great. Its lyrics were good and went with the song well. overall I would recommend listening to this albjum.

have you ever heard a song and it kind of made you feel nostalgia because thats what i got from the album all the young dudes i liked the instruments and the lyrics werent to bad i like the voice of the singer and the guitar i liked this song because it gave me nostalgia and i would recommend that you listen to this album

I really like this album! I really like the long guitar in the beginning. One of my favorite songs is in the album also. Its called "You Really Got Me" and I love it! I really love the voice the singer has as well!

Like listening to a good Bowie album I didn't know about.

Really good listen, and I'll be adding it to my 70s rotation. I know Mott a little bit, but didn't realize until this challenge how much I liked them.

Honestly?? Pretty decent! This is Bowie at home, but it is pretty decent!!

A group I heard of - but not familiar with their songs.

This is good as a whole l, I didn’t manage to pick any favourite tracks but there was lots of good moments

A great glam rock record with two standout tracks ("All the Way From Memphis" and "I Wish I Was Your Mother").

An enjoyable album. Yeah it sounds like David Bowie, but I love David Bowie so this doesn’t matter. Favorites were All The Way From Memphis, Honaloochie Boogie. Violence, and I’m A Cadillac/ El Camino Dolo Roso.

I expected something fully unserious and got some decent groovy tunes. The guitars were especially nice

I really enjoyed this one. Loved all the way from memphis

Après le succès de All the Young Dudes (1972) produit par David Bowie, qui leur avait même écrit le titre éponyme, Mott the Hoople sort en 1973 l'album Mott. Ce Mott, et Mott the Hoople d'ailleurs, est pour moi une belle découverte. Comme quoi ce projet, qui va me tenir en haleine durant les prochaines années m'apporte autant de plaisir que d'ennui. Ce petit jeu de la roulette est ainsi fait et nul ne sait quel album on me demandera d'écouter demain. Mott, album de Rock ou plus exactement de Glam Rock, est fascinant et gorgé d'excellent titres qui, presque un demi-siècle après sa sortie, est toujours capable de nous toucher. Et ceci dès l’ouverture du fantastique "All the Way from Memphis" qui est un rock endiablé avec des tonnes de guitares saturées et le sax venu directement de Roxy Music. Suivi de "Whizz Kid" avec un riff basique mais terriblement efficace ou encore le venimeux "Violence" avec son violon qui sonne désaccordé est un titre très aventureux et fort réussi. Malgré cet excellent disque, Mott the Hoople ne connaît pas le succès qu’il mérite. Un très bon album à découvrir et un beau 4/5

Pretty decent tock tunes with some aspects of glam . Just didn't quite hit well to get a full rating.

Seems quality

Ooh… an album from the “All The Young Dudes” guys without “All The Young Dudes.” I really enjoyed the glam-rock sounds of the early 70s! Good stuff.

This was better than expected! I thought the lyrics were well-written, and I’m not sure if it’s supposed to be a concept album, but it seemed like there was a theme about the downside of being a rock star.

Totally surprisingly. Its a little David Bowie, Alice Cooper, T-Rex wrapped up in well produced/layered rock that has both a flair for being sonically interesting as well as easy to approach. Its successful across a good change in tempos (Whizz Kid to Ballad of Mott the Hoople), and i'm particularly impressed that the song is good enough for me to ignore that it is titled Honaloochie Boogie.

Feels a bit like a halfway house between Bowie and ELO - and although I love both, I'd say the sum of the two is not equally good as them separately. I still found it very enjoyable and would listen to it again so I think 4 stars does it justice

Better than I was expecting, this was actually pretty epic

oh i know these btches!!!all the yung doods! love their sound hymn for the dudes lmao they love their dudes 4/5

Real fun album with some really good tracks. Recognized these guys kinda from some. Enjoy their energy. Rounding up cause why not.

It wasn't that bad like the band's name suggested! I was expecting a boring and bland rock from 70s, but most of the songs were quite good and pleasant to listen to. Some nice guitar solos, few interesting psychedelic moments, okayish vocal, just an overall nice album. Positive surprise, biggest quality of an album to quality of an album cover ration so far.

Thoroughly enjoyed this! First 3-4 tracks felt like a totally different album to the remainder. Started with some proper good dad rock. Not cheesy at all. Just proper dad rock. The kind of dad rock I’ve hoped exists. Not just stupid cliched guitar solos. Brilliant stuff. 4.1

Realizing I don’t really *love* glam-rock, but still, very solid record. Will definitely return to it one day. 3.5/5

sure they sound like bowie ripoffs but theyre pretty enjoyable bowie ripoffs. 7/10

"Honaloochie Boogie" is one of my all-time favorite jams. Also, who doesn't love burnt orange leather pants?

Excellent album. I didn't know what to expect and was unfamiliar. I just love the sound and vocals--both really resonated song-to-song, and the album started strong, lulled a bit, and then got better. I listened to this one twice and loved it on the second listen. This is a tweener album for 4/5. ****

Really enjoyed it. Had no idea about then other than the hit.

David bowie sound

Damn good stuff right here. Very fun record. All The Way to Memphis and I Wish I was Your Mother are stand outs for me. Very Bowie-ish. I think Bowie wrote All the Young Dudes for this band.

what’s the point,

One I already own, so it's likely I'll be biased in its favour...and so it proves. I feel as if you were to look up the definition of 'classic rock - British' in an encyclopedia, you've got half a chance that Mott the Hoople would be the accompanying photo. They've got everything that a band of that era strove to do - upbeat at times, tender at others, and able to rouse the punters with the odd grandiose ballad now and again. And they did it well! Largely eschewing histrionics and hard rock bluster, I view MtH as a bridging point between glam and the stripped-down pub rock sound that was to follow. Ian Hunter could declaim, he could coo, and he sounded convincing doing both. Good songwriting, too - a cut above the usual hairy-chest brigade. Fine work.

David Bowie produced these guys and was a big fan. You can hear why. As Bowie fan, hungry for more, this is a food choice.

The Killer piano pounds away, and thus begins the quintessential tale of a clueless Rockstar and his lost guitar, culminating in a meeting with a black guy who provides some much needed perspective. "All the Way from Memphis", indeed. [Contemporary listeners will hear a racial slur, and wonder "WTF?" Seventies lyricists, for whatever reason, were willing to experiment with such things—blame Norman Mailer— to provide "grit" and "realism" (see above), to apply tension to the word in order to drain it of its negativity, a la Lenny Bruce (Patti Smith, and the now deleted barnburner "Rock N' Roll N—) or whatever Freddie Mercury was doing with it in "March of the Black Queen" (wait, is it literally a "Black Queen", and Freddie, being a brown person, complicates things). Anyway, to album...] I needs to be clearly understood that I absolutely love this album; it also needs to be clearly understood that this, indeed, is the swan song of the band. Mick Jones (not the Clash guy, nor the Gories guy) would flee to start Bad Company, and banality would ensue. The perpetually shaded Ian Hunter would not be long. Like Motley Crue Farewell tours, this had happened once before, and then Bowie showed up with "All the Young Dudes". Why did Bowie gift them with such a stone classic? Because he loved the band. You know who else loved them? Mick Jones the Clash Guy. The mighty Dictators covered them. The fucking Dead Boys covered them. Prior to the "Dudes" interrupted Swan Song, Mott (and Hawkwind for sure) were the cult bands of the UK scene, ignored by everybody in the record stores but the disciples, fervent and fanatical in the concert halls. And why not? Dylan inspired lyrics (though not the sensibility. Bob is Bob; Ian is Ian) married to rabid Rock N Roll played with conviction. Real Rama Lama, the mutant hybrid of the MC5 and the Kinks. In the States, the cult of Mott is even smaller than Roxy Music; at least Roxy is becoming understood as something not entirely "More than This" MOR favorites. Dude, their shit is weird. And so is Mott's, and apparently people didn't get it until Bowie showed up. And while "Dudes", "Mott" and "The Hoople" are great records, but prior to that, there are FOUR albums, varying in degree from Very Good ("Mott the Hoople", "Wildlife") to flawed exceptional ("Mad Shadows") and transcendent ("Brain Capers"). These I came across during the Napster days, stoned and drunk with the buddy Pat, downloading songs based on search terms that were at turns absurd and obscene, and there was "Death Maybe Your Santa Claus"; it blew my mind. And after, "When My Mind's Gone" (squeaky drum pedal and all), my mind was, ummm... Anyhoo, my Mott experience goes "All the Young Dudes", thanks to Classic Rock radio, then random downloads from the first four, then physical purchase, and then back to the last three, which are a weird elegy for Rock N Roll. Nostalgia—old wound pain in the strictest definition— seems to be the theme that is simpatico with the Deviant's Mick Ferren, rock n roll intellectual and so stranger to proper Rama Lama's prophecy "The Titanic Sails at Dawn". The old wound, in this case, is growing chasm between the Big Beat/Blue Suede Shoes Rock N Roll and the "Serious" Rock, and what follows for those fiddlers, and both Ferren and Ian Hunter see it, expressed in their respective idioms. Ferren is damning fortune teller; Hunter, in his role as chronicler of all things Rock Star on Tour, a sardonic participant in the orgy on the precipice. Hunter has always had a way with a dramatic tragic-beautiful ballad with a cabaret flavor; "Hymn for the Dudes", a nod to the big hit, is a glam rock ( Rock N Roll?) elegy. "I Wish I Was Your Mother" shimmers pan-gender languid longing. Gorgeous. The self (also Bowie)-referential "Ballad of Mott the Hoople (26th March 1972, Zürich) is the obituary for a group that had died once, and would die again, poignant and bitter as the weird trajectory of this band. If the above is not your jam, there are the rockers that fit neatly in the Mott the Hoople Boogie mode, all nice to grove to. Only "Violence" goes off the mode, a slice of yobbos oiking their way through scrap after scrap, is a keenly drawn character study, and easy to see as an influence on the nascent Punk movement. Shorter: Mott the Hoople's Classic Rock staple "All the Young Dudes" is the tip of the iceberg. The riches are below.

A fun and unique rock album.

1st time listening very nice I'm a big Steve Harley fan and there are a lot of similarities in the song writing here. Even sounds a bit cockney at times

LP

This was not what I was expecting, but it was actually good

Good solid rock album. Very reminiscent of Bowie.

A lot like Bowie, some quality work. I really enjoyed Voilence.

Every time I read Mott The Hoople, I sing their name in my head to the tune of Rock The Casbah. I don’t know why, but I do. I’m not really sure what Mott The Hoople sound like, so I’m interested to give them a lesson today. Songs I already knew: none Favourites: Drivin’ Sister I did quite like this. It felt like old school rock, and was very similar to David Bowie’s rock era at times. I liked when they went a bit bonkers with a saxophone while the rest of the band grooved on. I can sometimes get irritable when bands have extended solos, but this was good fun.

Super fun album! It’s too bad they don’t keep using the horns after the first song. Funny song titles and awesome 70s rock.

great 70’s glam rock album. no issues with this one. highlights: “all the way from memphis”, “whizz kid”, “drivin’ sister”

I hate that I liked this album. Singer was awful, but man do I love some rock organ

yeah i liked it

I liked this album, kind of remember them from 1973! 4 stars

Is this an undiscovered Bowie album?

Great glam rock album. Very David Bowie.
