Album Project Update! 'Diamond Dogs' (1974). This is a strange album. I'd really love to hear the backstory behind it all, but sadly I haven't found it anywhere on the internet. And it's not in the booklet with the album. It's basically some sort of dystopian future, bit Blade Runner, bit 1984, bit Brave New World... You get the idea. It has a definite air of menace when you listen to it. The most well known song on the album is 'Rebel Rebel', but somehow that seems quite out of place. I like the album because it's unsettling. I wonder if there was something particularly bleak about the mid 1970s? It was when The Kinks released 'Preservation', after all. Stranger and stranger...
