In this new series I am taking a look at the full discography of David Bowie (both live and studio albums). Starting wit his first album I am going to review his entire catalogue and try to notice changes, developments and see what a chronological listen of his music does with the experience.
In 1974 David Bowie made his ode to George Orwell's 1984, but slightly different then he had imagined. Diamond Dogs was the result, now 50 years later; what does it sound like?

Probably my favourite David Bowie album

Future Legend literally blew my mind when i heard it as a kid.

Last comment: The Sweet Thing Suite is one complete song in itself. It's ridiculous to even think about seperating it into 3 separate parts. I reckon RCA did that just to make it seem as though there were more songs on the album than there actually were, but I could be wrong. As far as I'm aware on all subsequent Live Albums it's just called Sweet Thing

"never wear a new pair of shoes in front of David Bowie"

@RuudVrugt 8 месяцев назад

Plus "Diamond Dogs" is an adaptation of "Brown Sugar" by the Stones, Mick Jagger not only showed Bowie the art work of "It's only R"n"Roll", but also let him listen to "Brown Sugar" before release.....hence the art work and Diamond Dogs......

I didn’t know that! Is there any more info on what elements he used?

Excellent album. I vacillate between this and Ziggy as which is best. Often comes down to which one I've listened to last.

@retropian 8 месяцев назад

Great reaction! Having ditched his band The Spiders from Mars when he killed off Ziggy the previous year he played most of the instruments on Diamond Dogs himself giving it a garage band sound. It works because this is glam rock in its death throes. The album presents a post apocalyptic dystopian world view and has a sleazy, decadent, decaying sound to it, which signals the death of glam as much as the end of civilization. It was the album that introduced me to Bowie when I was 12 in 1974.

I have every Bowie album with two laster LP's missing. Diamond Dogs has been one of my favorites along with Ziggy and Aladdin. I am curious about that pressing you are showing, if it is a first British pressing then why does it have the censored cover ?

@top5records796 4 месяца назад

Isn’t that specific cover the US one? Discogs marks this, because of the stampers and cover as a 1st UK.

@vinylwood 4 месяца назад

You maybe correct, I’m not sure. I thought it was all first releases but again I’m not 100%.

@alansmith4748 8 месяцев назад

I think David Bowie has only ever produced one glam rock album: Ziggy Stardust

@top5records796 8 месяцев назад

Not Hunky Dory and Aladdin Sane?

@alansmith4748 8 месяцев назад

@@top5records796 Not im my opinion. If David Bowie had never produced another album after Hunky Dory I don't believe anybody would have come to the conclusion that it was as a glam rock album. It's far more in the reflective singer/songwriter mode than glam rock. And Aladdin Sane is more Rolling Stones influenced than glam rock

@STEALTHKAOS 3 месяца назад

Jean Genie is on Aladdin Sane so you are incorrect, sir.

Bowie's guitar playing is great, perfect for this album, even though the saxophone is a bit out of tune, it's great as well, and I hate the sax. Wahi' Valleys

Addendum: For you to skip over "Candidate and Sweet Thing," and only focus on the "hits," if you can call them hits, tells me you are like the masses, focused on what's been programmed to the listeners. The "non hits, non famous songs," are what makes this a Bowie masterpiece. Wahi' Valleys
