10th studio album by T. Rex and the first to be solely produced by Marc Bolan. Following little success with his previous album, Bolan wanted full control of the sound of this release, and for the first time in a long time he actually succeeds in exploring new musical territory with a combo of glam rock, boogie, and bold use of blues and especially soul. The result is slower and more complex compositions but the album turned out as his least successful album so far, which may seem a bit unfair as I find it bettering his Zinc Alloy... album, and it's really not far from Bowie's Diamond Dogs from '74 - and then again: It perhaps shows how Bolan now comes up with an approach to new evolving styles.
