Music reviews of Aladdin Sane

Music Review: The chameleon's best
Rating: 5 Stars

While many "experts" consider Ziggy Stardust or Hunky Dory to be the best album of Bowie's glam rock period (and probably of his career!), I have to disagree and pick Aladdin Sane. It may be argued that Ziggy was more original, but I would argue that as an album Aladdin Sane is much more consistent in quality with perhaps only the Rolling Stones cover not adding anything to an ensemble that combines the hard edge of Panic in Detroit, the caustic Cracked Actor, the sweeping Drive-in Saturday (my favorite, which always makes me think of early Elton or was the influence the reserve?), the throbbing Jean Genie, and the clever Time. This albums swings, glides, and alternatively thrusts hard. Pianist Mick Garson is a very influential figure throughout and adds to the musty cabaret, jazzy atmosphere that permeates much of the music, the all accompanied by some of the most disturbing lyrics that Bowie has penned (Diamond Dogs comes at times a close second).

Description of Aladdin Sane

The second most important moment in Bowie's glam period, Aladdin Sane is full of smart, cutting-edge songs that hold up decades later as classic moments in rock. Standout tracks include "Panic in Detroit," with Mick Ronson's screaming guitars and Mick Woodmansey's urgent drumming; "Watch that Man," a piano-driven, rollicking number perfect for the Bowie strut; the lascivious and sweaty "Cracked Actor"; the punky "Jean Genie"; and a perfectly raucous cover of "Let's Spend the Night Together." "Time" hearkens back to the theatrics of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust, while "Drive in Saturday," "The Prettiest Star," and "Lady Grinning Soul" serve as precursors to Bowie's "plastic soul" sounds that came later in the '70s. Aladdin Sane is even more impressive when considering that the same year this album was made, Bowie was also working with artists like Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, producing some of their most heralded works (the Stooges' Raw Power and Reed's Transformer). --Lorry Fleming
