Advantages: Elton's vocals, Taupin's lyrics, quailty of music, great story Disadvantages: 31 years late, only 10 tracks
...build up near the end. 'Wouldn't have you any other way' is about their passion for New York City, the backing vocals in the middle of the song sound as if they taken direct from 'Goodbye Yellowbrick Road' (compliment) & a song that very quickly grows on you.
'Tinderbox' was played quite a lot in the UK when promoting the album & has a very infectious chorus. My favorite is 'And the house fell down', an up tempo track with a great chorus line, it starts off like a scene from Tom & Jerry cartoon & with Elton's vocals sounding better than ever.
'The Bridge' music wise is nothing special but the lyrics are & I think most listeners could relate to this song sometime in their lives. The last three tracks are all unique & special with the final one being a faster version of the original Captain Fantastic & the Brown Dirt Cowboy but with different...

Advantages: Good, solid music Disadvantages: Wears its influences on its sleeve
...At long last, a calm has descended on the music scene. As those fellows who bang on about once having long hair become less and less frequent, Grunge seems like just another bad dream.
Brit pop is as dead in the water as the Cool Britannia culture that

...Billy Dolls and other friends of mine". The Billy Doll is the New York Doll Billy Murcia who died in London in 1972. Such contemporary references are scattered liberally throughout the album, Mick Jagger and Twiggy in Drive In Saturday, Bolan in The Prettiest Star, Benny Goodman in Watch That Man and Che Guevara in Panic In Detroit. It gives the thing a very stylised feel, trapped very much in that era, and yet equally as timeless as all of Bowie's work.
Time in particular is a big favourite of mine, and Aladdin Sane is packed with others, the heavy riff, stomp bump and grind of The Jean Genie, the piano soaked jazz ballad of Lady Grinning Soul, the effervescent but stylish pop of the Drive-In Saturday single, and the sex obsessed horror of Cracked Actor among others.
Still you feel that its the surface sheen and veneer that is more...
