The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars
by David Bowie

He does it all on this one. Soul Love and It Ain't Easy must be my favourites even though I don't think there's a bad record on this record.

The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars isn't just a simple album; it's a manifesto, a complete mythology that turned David Bowie into the rock star he always wanted to be. Through this androgynous, alien alter ego, Bowie didn't just create glam rock; he gave it a soul, a mesmerizing narrative, and an aesthetic that defied all conventions.

From the desperate first chord of "Five Years" to the cathartic, epic conclusion of "Rock 'n' Roll Suicide," the album is a theatrical and electrifying journey. Mick Ronson's iconic guitar riffs and rebel anthems like "Starman" and "Suffragette City" are at the heart of an album that feels as urgent today as it did in 1972. Ziggy Stardust didn't just come to save us with rock & roll; he came to give us permission to be ourselves.

The first album I heard wearing headphones and it blew my mind, way back when. A truly awesome album

As close to a perfect album as you can get. A concept album none the less. Bowie does it all here. Amazing rock, slow, moving melodies, gritty. Love this album!

Muito bom

This is a great album, it has great songs, a great story line, great instrumentals, you could just sum it up and say the whole album is great. The best songs on the album are “Starman”, “Suffragette City”, and “Five Years”. “Starman” shows how David Bowie is one of the greatest singers ever with his slight operatic singing and smooth vocal delivery with perfect vocal range, this isn’t my favorite David Bowie song of all time but it’s definitely up there. I unfortunately don’t have as much to say about the other two songs on this album but they are great in their own right, especially “Five Years”, it gives a good preview on how this album will sound and a bit of the story on the character of Ziggy Stardust of which the album is about. Like I said it’s a great album, 87 out 100, give it a listen if you haven’t already.

One of the greatest concept albums of all time. A truly wonderful listening experience. In my opinion, tracks 1, 4, 6, 9, 10, and 11 are the highlights. 9.5/10!

I like Bowie but I find that his stuff leaves me a bit cold at times. This album is undoubtedly a classic but again, there’s not a lot that personally draws me back to listen to this.

The coming of Bowie was right here in 1972 with this album, transforming from a 25yo modestly successful largely ignored singer-songwriter and sometime mime into a wildly popular futuristic sexually ambiguous messiah and pop god. This landmark album not only launched a musical legend but singlehandedly introduced glam rock as a genre
