This album is pretty good. I don't have too terribly much to say on it specifically other than that I liked it. The timbre and instrumentation is pretty thin throughout a good chunk of the album (especially the beginning) but it does grow, and has a surprising amount of variety in the styles it goes for. I think that it's able to play around with its identity pretty well and I can see a lot of how influential it would become through them. The pseudo-story of the album, being about the titular Ziggy Stardust and Spiders from Mars, kept me engaged throughout the runtime of the album and is nicely complemented by the overall focus on acoustic guitar and occasional electric modulations. Close call on the number rating here, but I think I liked the album well enough for it to earn it's score.
Highlights: Soul Love, Moonage Daydream, Starman, Lady Stardust, Ziggy Stardust, Suffragette City, Rock 'n' Roll Suicide.
Rating: 5/6
