Free Music Notes for Ziggy Stardust: 30th Anniv
Free Music Review: The greatest album ever?
Hit: 5 Stars
Could The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars be the very best album of all time. Does the legendary album live up to all the extravagent hype, or does the album just fall short at the finish line? Well I personaly think Ziggy Stardust is one of the top three albums of all time along with Aerosmith's Get Your Wings, and The Rolling Stones' Exile On Main Street. Released in 1972 David Bowie created a spaceage creature who fell to earth with his band and became the biggest rock star the world had ever seen, bigger then Elvis and The Beatles. Ziggy Stardust takes you on an apocalyptic journey through exactly what the title suggests, the rise and fall of him and his amazing band. The album also shows what an ego-maniac Bowie was in the 1970's as been quoted as saying, "Thats truly what I though was going to happen to me!"
The album opens with the beautiful 'Five Years' which is truly one of the best songs David Bowie ever composed. The wonderfull lyrics and perfectly complamenting piano tell the story of Ziggy being and outcast on his home planet of Mars and him knowing that he was something special. Next is the saxaphone heavy 'Soul Love' which is another nice ballad with a great chorus that is sure to have you singing along, this song is about how even though Ziggy knew he would become the biggest rock star in the world he was still a person searching for love and exceptence. 'Moonage Daydream' is quite possabley the best song David Bowie ever recorded. This is one of those songs where every little detail came together perfectly creating something so special and fantastic that words themselfs can't begin to describe. I mean where would you start, the powerful vocals and production, The amazing lyrics, or how about that legendary guitar solo that Mick Ronson plays at the end of the song. All who have hear this song know what I am taking about and those who havent should do themselfs a favor and pick this up for 'Moonage Daydream' alone! The next song was David Bowies biggest hit to this point, 'Starman' is a beautiful ballad about the people on earth who knew Ziggy was coming and the song is not one you can really describe it's one that has to be listened to, to be fully appreciated. 'It Aint Easy' is a cover song that unless you had heard the original you wouldnt know it was a cover. Bowie takes this song and makes it all his own, and takes the chorus to a whole new world. 'Lady Stardust' is a beautiful ballad from the point of view of who else, Lady Stardust, Ziggy's wife. It tells of how she first saw the band perform and how she fell in love with Ziggy. The next two songs 'Star' and 'Hang On To Yourself' seem to be the blue-print for late 1970's punk, proving once againt the Bowie was ahead of his time and is post-modern in all the terms glory. 'Ziggy Stardust' the title track shows the demise of the band as Ziggy over indulges in drugs and booze. The title track is one of rocks most legendary songs, as it is still played on the radio today some 30 years later. The legendary 'Suffragett City' is next with it's classic guitar riff and "hey-man" lyrics. This song as well as many of the other on the album is still to this day played on the radio. This song shows how Ziggy went solo only to find he was nothing with out the band and he becomes a brok burn-out. The last song on the album aside from being one of Bowie most heartfelt and best songs is also the perfect end to the legendary album. 'Rock N' Roll Suicide' ends the story with Ziggy killing his carear as well as himself. This song is a mini-epic in all the terms glory, it starts with a beautiful acoustic start and slowly builds to a hard rocker and leaves you wanting more.
Disc to of this cd is out takes and tracks that were recorded for the album but were never used all of the demos and outtakes are nice but it's amazing to see how Bowie went from that to what he put on the album. 'John, I'm Only Dancing' was a Bowie single and is concidered a Bowie classic. 'Velvet Goldmine' is a great Bowie song and I dont knwo why it was left off the album it is just as good as all the other songs. 'Holy Holy' and Amsterdamn are both very good songs that also could have been on the album. 'The Supermen' here isnt as good as the one on The Man Who Sold The World. 'Round And Round' is a great Chuck Berry cover. 'Sweet Head' is just pure amazing, there is no other way to say it just amazing!
The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars is with out a doubt one of the all time greatest rock and roll and pop albums of all time, do yourself a favor and pick up this amazing classic!
