this would be better than Ziggy if it wasn't patchy af, the best three tracks are some of my favourite bowie tunes though

The early single version of The Prettiest Star is better than the album version in my opinion :P

Row this is about as consistent - it ain't easy, star and hang on aren't top tier



On Aladdin I'd say the three weakest are lets spend, prettiest star and then maybe the Jean genie



Cracked Actor, t/t, Lady Grinning and Time are the near equal of my four favourites from Stardust - Five Years, Soul Love, Rock n Roll Suicide and Ziggy Stardust too

Replace Time with Panic in Detroit and you got my top 4, Time is great too though of course.

This doesn't even approach Ziggy for me.

Ziggy is my 6th favorite Bowie and this is my 7th sooo they're pretty close for me.

Jean Geanie isn't one of my faves honestly, it's a good hard rock track though of course.

yea but at least that riff repeats for like 80% of the song :D

this album is very frustrating it has incredible riffs and ~moments~ that don't get followed through with

songs go in underwhelming directions here and there

Always felt like Bowie sounds more of a badass on this than Ziggy, hence my minor preference for this one
