The Slider

This was a DNF for me. Not that it was offensively bad, but I just am not with the vocals or guitar tone on this one. Weirdly feels Bowie-esque but not in a way that sounds like they were ripping him off. Just not for me.

A band I had heard of, but never heard. Somehow expected a much heavier, more punk sound. This was a pleasant bluesy kind of middle of the road rock sound. Nothing too earth shattering, could benefit from more basically range and dynamics.

This I think will be my first 1/5 rating, as I'm only 12 albums in. I probably have heard a few T. Rex songs on the classic rock station, but I really dislike classic rock, and apparently I really don't like glam rock also, as I found this very grating. This was the first time I actually starting skipping songs as I went as I couldn't stand them anymore.

T. Rex in the glam rock era! If this project has taught me anything about my own music taste, it's that glam rock is absolutely my jam. I enjoyed the hell out of this.

Honestly, i was quite surprised with how good The Slider was. I felt that it mostly flip flopped between two different styles one being a more rock out sort of style (the one i prefer but i still like the other one) and a style that feels like something that Elliott Smith would eventually go on to do but this album still feels like an alpha version of that. . The album also cut a quick pace, almost too quick at points as the songs could go by so fast that they didn't have enough time to really sink into my head. Despite that small blunder, it was still able to be a good album that really inspired a lot of the other albums i liked on this project.
Best Song: The Slider
Worst Song: Main Man

T.Rex knows how to make an infectious tune. Love the guitar tone here too. They had a big impact on a lot of music I love and for good reason.

Glam Rock puro. No hay ninguna canción de este disco entre las 10 más oídas de T.Rex. Telegram Sam que fue single está bien y también me han gustado Buick Mackane y Chariot Choogle. Además se puede disfrutar del Ballroom of Mars que versionaron más o menos aquí como el Divina Estás de Radio Futura. Interesante disco que para mí va de menos a más, así que escúchalo entero.
