Bowie and band in full hard ROCK mode, as heard in the magnificent "Width of a Circle" and pounding "Running Gun Blues". This is one of my all time favourite Bowie LPs! Guitarist, Mick Ronson had just arrived on the scene and he was out to impress! For me, no other guitarist worked as well with Bowie than Ronno -- what a legend! ‘The Man Who Sold the World’ captures Bowie and band in full hard ROCK mode, as heard in the magnificent "Width of a Circle" and pounding "Running Gun Blues". Another piece of genius is "All the Madmen", which is a fantastic arrangement and reputedly deals lyrically with the incidence of insanity in Bowie's family. Of course there is also the catchy title track, which has been covered by Lulu and Nirvana. With excellent production from Tony Visconti, ‘The Man Who Sold the World’ sounds just as mighty today!

The beginning of David Bowie's classic period… one of his best albums. 4 ½ Stars Even though it contained no hits, The Man Who Sold the World, for most intents and purposes, is the beginning of David Bowie's classic period. Working with guitarist Mick Ronson and producer Tony Visconti for the first time, Bowie developed a tight, twisted heavy guitar rock that appears simple on the surface but sounds more gnarled upon each listen. The mix is off-center, with the fuzz-bass dominating the compressed, razor-thin guitars and Bowie's strangled, affected voice. The sound of The Man Who Sold the World is odd, but the music is bizarre itself, with Bowie's paranoid futuristic tales melded to Ronson's riffing and the band's relentless attack. Musically, there isn't much innovation on The Man Who Sold the World -- it is almost all hard blues-rock or psychedelic folk-rock -- but there's an unsettling edge to the band's performance, which makes the record one of Bowie's best albums. 4 ½ Stars
