I've been liking this group lately. Smile Not familiar with most of these as all the big hits I liked are not here. Been a long time since I had this album on.

The band looks real cool too. Laughing

A damn masterpiece. On my chart, obviously. Mambo Sun, Jeepster, Get It On, and everything else. Come on. Blues/glam rock done to perfection.

I had always assumed this would be a really heavy album. I mean, the band is named after a giant carnivore, and the album title references warfare. Hell, even the cover art suggests the sound is going to explode from the speakers. But this is most definitely glam rock. It's fine as that genre goes, but I was disappointed this didn't rock more.

when i think of rock music, this is one of those albums that instantly comes to mind. easily the best T. Rex album, although I do love The Slider as well as his earlier freak folky stuff.

One of my all time favourites... Sometimes more, sometimes less but always special!

Packed with awesome tracks that I'm not even going to try and do a Naples!

If you don't know it then give it a listen... You'll be in for a treat!

No, really. Do The Naples! Very Happy

Seriously, though...I agree. Fantastic and very special album.

I love it. I'd put in on par with The Slider (I tend to mix them, their sound is very similar).

It's good, but it's a little top-heavy. Jeepster's my jam.
