Hunky Dory is a charming album. The music is glam rock. The songs have a hard edge to them, but they aren't bluesy enough to be called hard rock. The lyrics are impenetrable, but there are sensible fragments that evoke interesting imagery and humor. The album is also replete with melody which is its strength.
There's not a whole lot to say about this album. It's not a profound album, but neither is it pretentious or smug. It's just a set of incredibly catchy songs with song weird, funny and evocative lyrics. It won't change your life, but it'll brighten your day.
The album is wonderful. It's worth listening to and would make a fine addition to a collection. I'm not sure it deserves to be on the 1001 Albums list, though.
All the songs on this album are excellent. The stand outs are Changes, Oh! You Pretty Things, Eight Line Poem, Life on Mars?, Kooks, Quicksand, Fill Your Heart, Andy Warhol, Song for Bob Dylan, Queen Bitch and The Bewlay Brothers.
★★★★★★★★★★
