Diamond Dogs is now But while those two albums still very oriented on the theme "star," and "life as a rock star", turned too far gloomy, apocalyptic themes. Very away (because DB never got the rights to a musical) at 1984 ajar, DB first tells us a "Future Legend" - roam the streets the story of a ravaged, industrialized city in the yelping dogs.
Sweet Thing, We are the Dead, Big Brother 1984 grab this issue and then differently to describe this future, sombre world very vividly. Diamond Dogs, When You RockŽn roll with me and Rebel Rebel are here rather still the subject "I am a superstar and live anything but healthy" hinzuzuzählen ..
I think that Diamond Dogs acts pretentiös, overproduced and artificial in many places. However, the album still reflects very well Bowie's former state of mind. Diamond Dogs heralded that phase of his career that was marked by heavy cocaine abuse, paranoia and great mental stress. Diamond Dogs acts simply not easy ... Although the tenseness of the theme of the panel was certainly conducive ....
All in all, "Diamond Dogs" but still a great album. Rebel, Rebel was a huge hit at the time, 1984, Diamond Dogs are also very good, albeit oblique, dissonant numbers.
In this sense: Contact this album a former in Bowie's demise visions loosened by some sellers. Worth listening to, though certainly not to everyone's taste
