David Bowie — Hunky Dory (Remastered): Reviews
A Classic Bowie Album
This is the first of the great trio of Bowie albums that continued with 'Ziggy Stardust' and 'Aladdin Sane'. I can't think of a mainstream artist who has produced three such perfect examples of their art in succession. 'Ziggy Stardust' is generally accepted as the best of the three, but I disagree. For me 'Hunky Dory' was the pinnacle of Bowie's song writing ability. It is a quieter more sophisticated album than 'Man Who Sold The World'.
This album attacks the senses like virtually no other. It has a feel of greatness about it. Great albums have no weaknesses. This is a great album. For sometime I never got past the first half of the album - it was that good. I continually played "Changes", "Oh You Pretty Things", "Life on Mars", "Kooks" and then went back to play them again. (Bear in mind I was originally listening to the vinyl album which meant turning it over to listen to side two.) It was only later on that I realised that there were gems on side two as well. Songs of passion - the art school feel of "Andy Warhol" and "Song for Bob Dylan" and "The Bewley Brothers" was just one of those songs that confused but amazed.
Above all the thing that makes 'Hunky Dory' a great album is the atmosphere it emits. Bowie has hauled himself back from the edge of insanity as suggested by the 'Man Who Sold The World' and turned into the consummate songwriter - more outward going and less introverted and ready to move into the next phase of his life - a strange spaceman ready to change the rock map forever. I almost look upon Hunky Dory as Bowie's folk album.
Highly recommended to all Bowie lovers. Buy it!
