Negative Positive
Title: Good record
Review: First of all, the title of the album, the cover of the album, and song titles totally contradict what is contained on this album. With songs names like "Monolith" and "Planet Queen" and "Bang A Gong (Get It On)" coupled with the cover of a guitar player in front of a giant stack of amplifiers, you'd think this would be a sonic assault on your ears. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact this is a VERY mellow album. Myself only being familiar with a few of T-Rex's more upbeat hits and in my 30's, I decided to pick it up. I was very surprised and somehwat disappointed in what I found. I wanted more of a straight up rocking record, but no dice. It's definitely a good record, very cohesive, nice flow, inspired the glam rock movement, but nowhere near what I was expecting. Unless you are a big fan of 70's prog rock or are looking for something to just lay around and chill out to, avoid this record.
Is the review positive or negative?
