| 4.5 superb | Tom93M | July 30th 11 |
Aladdin Sane takes the glam foundations and lyrical concepts laid down by last years effort and builds upon them to include slight avant-garde leanings (such as the irregularity of the gorgeously odd 'Time'), and rougher rock tracks - rougher in comparison with Ziggy's polished, sparkly glam-rock, anyway. That's precisely why it works - why fix something that isn't broke? Sure, the album was cut super-fast and can seem a tad rushed if one digs beneath the surface; sure, it doesn't expand much on the Ziggy Stardust blueprint; sure, it's perhaps not as ambitious or deep as last years' effort; but when all is said and done, Aladdin Sane still remains as one of the most instantly enjoyable albums Bowie ever recorded, and is too much of an uninhibited delight to condemn.

It's not too high in my Bowie ranking, but the songwriting is still as amazing as Dory and Ziggy and even though I think it's a little under the two albums that precede it, it's just insane.

If Bowie had his time over, he would probably exclude all Ziggy from 'Aladdin Sane'. The joyous gender-bender anthems are few and far between, with the Apocalypse Soon vibe of L.A ('Panic in Detroit', 'Watch That Man', 'Cracked Actor')running alongside a sound closer to the heavy blues of 'The Man Who Sold The World'.

A pretty dismal album, with one or two decent tracks. A mauling of The Rolling Stones' Lets Spend The Night Together is particularly cringe-worthy.

| 2.0 poor | industrialjunkie92 | September 5th 08 |
All style and no substance. Each track is confouned upon by meanless lyrics and messy (or spatical, whatever you prefer) piano and guitar work. The Jean Genie may be an anthem, but the album is not.
