Solid rock album on par with the good stuff coming out at the time and much better than some of the very
generic rock albums at that time. Maybe a bit overrated but it's still good.

It's basically Ziggy Part 2: Electric Boogaloo in America. It's just a bunch of good glam rock Bowie wrote while touring in America for Ziggy Stardust. Ziggy is the superior album, but this is a continuation of the Ziggy character and mindset.
It's just fun stuff, don't take it all too seriously now.

I guess there isn't any Glam Rock I really like so maybe I should stop trying. I've been listening to it over and over again trying to understand where the 9/10s come from.

This is one of those albums where the cover art leaves a greater impression than the content itself. With that said, it has some great songs.

It's just good old catchy hard rock.

Ziggy Stardust + fun. If you don't get it, I don't know what else to say. I see you're not into other glam rock so maybe the "fun" part is lost on you.

did you like any of Bowie's other stuff from 1971-1974?

Ziggy Stardust is something I can appreciate but not listen to on a regular basis. This one just kinda flies by me.

Just well produced and performed rock songs. Its a great album imo but I can see how people dont love it especially if they arent big Bowie fans.

It's a heavier better version of Ziggy Stardust
