Music reviews of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust
Music Review: The Greatest piece of Art Rock
Rating: 5 Stars
Ziggy is simply fantastic. It is a brilliant album.
1: Five Years-The opener is one of the best songs on the album, I love how easy this song is to sing along to
2: Soul Love-Another great song about diferrent types of love.
3: Moonage Daydream- Honestly, I hate this song. Its good, just when I first listened to this song, it was on a youtube video from a live concert in 1973. That version was six mintues long, with a face melting solo by Ronson. ( You can still see the video, type search on youtube for Moonage Daydream, HAMMERSMITH 73)
4.Starman- The albums single, very good song
5.It aint easy- Really loud!
6.Lady Stardust- Nice piano work, great vocals
7-Star-Really fast, One of the weaker tracks
8-Hang on to yourself- Weak as well
9- Ziggy Stardust-Best track on the album, one of Rock's first power ballads, fantastic song.
10-Suffragate City-Rockiest Song on the album, modeled after White light White Heat by the velvets.
11-Rock and Roll Suicide- Short track, but really good. I love the part when Bowie starts shouting, like "Heroes"
Description of The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust
After flirting with heavy guitar rock ("The Man Who Sold the World") and lighter pop ("Hunky Dory"), Bowie found middle ground on Ziggy Stardust. The creation of the Ziggy Stardust persona would live on well after Bowie shed the alien skin, marking the first rock concept album by a sexually ambiguous, artistically bent musician who confounded critics at every turn. A blend of dramatic strings, swaggering saxophones, jagged guitars, and theatrical arrangements, the album's darker rock numbers like "It Ain't Easy," "Moonage Daydream," "Ziggy Stardust," and the irresistible "Suffragette City," still serve as solid excursions into the future (then and now) of rock. The buoyant "Hang on to Yourself" and the dreamy "Star" offer hints of optimism in Ziggy's bleak world. The dramatic "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide" and the image-heavy "Star Man" ("he'd like to come and meet us but thinks he'd blow our minds!") no doubt provided plenty of stage-worthy moments when Ziggy toured in the '70s, but years later they still thrill. Bowie blew our minds! --Lorry FlemingGeneral CDs
