I'm definitely pretty sure Mr. Bowie would not be thrilled if I'd call him a few of my favorite albums: Aladdin Sane ("written, recorded, mixed way too fast"), Station To Station ("It's an interesting piece of work, but as if It Was Written by somebody else ") ...
... And Diamond Dogs. It is probably in the nature of an artist (a great artist, at least) to reflect on themselves and over time little more like something completely.
That Diamond Dogs will be without Mick Ronson, who has previously made with Bowie the arrangements, that Bowie's private life started to be catastrophic, that he started with the cocaine and for that the original idea, a musical about ' 1984 'make, led to rapid remodel the concept, it's almost ridiculous how amazing is this album.
To put it quite subjective and without reflection to say, I love it. It is incredibly dark, gloomy and moody, a bit like the dark alleys of hunger City who sings Bowie.
The whole atmosphere that it creates, just fits. Already Future Legend takes a. On a journey that goes by incredibly fast Rebel Rebel and Big Brother (with Chant Of The Ever Circling Skeletal Family) are the weaker tracks on the disk, but the rest? Incredibly, as I said. Not only "Sweet Thing / Candidate / Sweet Thing (Reprise)" - also never has performed "We Are The Dead" and "Rock'nRoll With Me", the title track, '1984' ...
The normal listener is likely to operate to the 30th Anniversary Edition, but for me alone was the original "Candidate" and "Rebel Rebel" Remix (who was also on the Reality Deluxe Edition) worth buying. For this, the presentation is more beautiful than the simple jewel case from EMI remaster.
For those who could not read between the lines, yes, I think that's a really great album here.
