GUARANTEED Ziggy Stardust wrote the blueprint for David Bowie s hard-rocking glam, and Aladdin Sane essentially follows the pattern, for both better and worse.
A lighter affair than Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane is actually a stranger album than its predecessor, buoyed by bizarre lounge-jazz flourishes from pianist Mick Garson and a handful of winding, vaguely experimental songs.
Bowie abandons his futuristic obsessions to concentrate on the detached cool of New York and London hipsters, as on the compressed rockers Watch That Man, Cracked Actor, and The Jean Genie.
Bowie follows the hard stuff with the jazzy, dissonant sprawls of Lady Grinning Soul, Aladdin Sane, and Time, all of which manage to be both campy and avant-garde simultaneously, while the sweepingly cinematic Drive-In Saturday is a soaring fusion of sci-fi doo wop and melodramatic teenage glam.
He lets his paranoia slip through in the clenched rhythms of Panic in Detroit, as well as on his oddly clueless cover of Let s Spend the Night Together.
For all the pleasures on Aladdin Sane, there s no distinctive sound or theme to make the album cohesive it s Bowie riding the wake of Ziggy Stardust, which means there s a wealth of classic material here, but not enough focus to make the album itself a classic.
EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY STEPHEN THOMAS ERLEWINE, ALL MUSIC GUIDE /ALLMUSIC.COM/ Originally dismissed by Bowie detractors as inferior to his earlier efforts, this 1973 masterpiece not only aged gracefully and gained in stature over the ensuing 40 years, but is now considered one of the 20-30 pillars of Rock music.
Visually captivating cover must be one of top-20 cover artworks of all time.
Our favorite Bowie album, no doubt.
Mick Ronson and Spiders from Mars shake up a storm on this one, and Bowie s version of Let s spend the night together puts the original Rolling Stones version to shame.
