The follow-up to his breakthrough The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, it was the first album Bowie wrote and released as a bona fide pop star. While many critics agree that it contains some of his best material, opinion as to its overall quality has often been divided. NME editors Roy Carr and Charles Shaar Murray called the album "oddly unsatisfying, considerably less than the sum of the parts",[8] while Bowie encyclopedist Nicholas Pegg describes it as "one of the most urgent, compelling and essential" of his releases. The Rolling Stone review by Ben Gerson pronounced it "less manic than The Man Who Sold The World, and less intimate than Hunky Dory, with none of its attacks of self-doubt." It was one of six Bowie entries in Rolling Stone's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time (at #277) and ranked #77 on Pitchfork Media's Top 100 Albums of the 1970s.... (more)(less)

"There's a lot of praise for Ziggy Stardust around me, and I think I've neglected some praise for the other masterpiece Bowie did during the Starman era. Aladdin Sane is slightly more guitar oriented than Ziggy, but it don't matter. Mick Ronson and Bowie together made an awesome rhythm/lead duo that was a major influence in the 70's on up.
There's quite a number of things with this record being an inspiration. The tone is one, and the other is not limiting yourself. I learned how chords build so"
"David Bowie - VIRGIN/EMI REMASTERS
Year - 1999
Company - EMI/Virgin
After remastering others, it was due for the star man to get his turn with Virgin, and we get some nicely crafted reissues here once again. These Bowie reissues use the same format, as a template and just copy/past everything into there. Exact same layout for the tray, album artwork, lyrics, back panel, and you can even say it's arranged perfectly for the back of the booklet to have the back of the original vinyl. Absolutely "

"Levyjä on pukannut kovalla tahdilla ulos, ja se näkyy huolimattomuutena. Bowie on kova, mutta Aladdin Sane ei sisällä läheskään herran parasta tuotantoa. Kivan keskinkertainen. Se siitä."

"'"I think Aladdin was much more in the area of 'Ziggy goes to America'," Bowie remarked of the Ziggy sequel written largely during his first extensive U.S. tour. "Time" bridges the two albums, but "The Jean Genie" and a raunchy cover of "Let's Spend the Night Together" show a harder, louder, sexier Bowie.""
