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

Popular Reviews

It's pretty easy to listen to, but a bit weird. Feels like Zeppelin with less Muddy Waters and more Tolkien - or like the progrock side of Zep. Title track slaps but it's played out; I really liked some of the grooves like "up to me", but a lot of it just feels like Jimmy Page b-sides, and the flute never stops feeling out of place, which is weird.

so good

Not bad, very much like i remember it

Not for me

They're great songs.

It’s actually pretty good.

Meh. I can only take so much croonjng

Very good

These 50s records are rough - like I’ve heard it all but it’s so dated

I liked it a lot

idk man it sounds like generic 60s

Definitely enjoyed this

goated

Meh. Mopey

It was a bop

Love it

A bit dated, but I like the beats

I really like this. Made me want to listen to Wet Leg.

All time great. It is what it is, at maximum volume. It's the most it.

All timer

meh

Love Curtis. I can't even explain why, it just makes me happy.

Not a big jam band guy, but this is decent. A little weird, though. I recommend psychedelics.

Loved this. Very 70s. Like a manic, less introspective Pink Floyd.

Love this album. Fight me.

I hate this era of music.

this is like... horny teen boy angst in a bottle?

Lol why are you looking at reviews? They should allow 6 stars.

Not my genre

I'm sure this was groundbreaking at the time, but it's a worse version of huey lewis/peter gabriel/paul simon. Spanish dancer sounds like an SNL skit.

Really enjoyed this one

why only 5 stars? This album makes me want to go back through my history and downgrade everything else

Now this is what I came for. Good shit that I've never run across.

When I was like 10, my father told me "Papa Was a Rollin' Stone" was one of the greatest songs ever written. I accepted it as a child often does, unquestioningly. It went in all of my greatest hits mixes, and I occasionally would bring it out around my friends, to show off my musical acumen, as I am a child of the 80s and many of them were unfamiliar. Now, with the wisdom of decades, and my own children becoming teenagers, my belief in the truth of that statement is stronger. Great song. Incredible engineering. As a recording, as a performance, I don't think I could come up with a GOAT list that didn't include it. Rest of the album slaps too.

Didn't feel it.

This sucks. It's mostly the vocals.

All timer

Good, just not my vibe

I really liked these songs musically, but Jesus the lyrics are cringe. Problem with calling out specific politics is that it doesn't age well.

Couldn't finish the first song. No thank you.

I hate this

One of my favorite albums of all time

This dude's vocal range is craaaaaaazy

Surprisingly i loved this

wtf even are these lyrics
