LA RECENSIONE
Uh-oh! We are informed that this review also appears (in whole or in part) in "I 500 dischi fondamentali del rock" by Mucchio Extra.
The rival friend Bowie will take most of the credit, yet it is the late Marc Bolan who invented glam-rock. Shortened the band's name from Tyrannosaurus Rex to T.Rex and restructured the lineup, Bolan frees himself from the hippie folk rock of the beginnings and the lengthy Tolkien-esque atmospheres by creating the famous recipe: guitars with a fat and saturated sound, an androgynous voice that rolls lazily and sexy ((teen)) on boogie and rock'n'roll rhythms, catchy melodies in three-minute songs. However, this album, given the high concentration of actual and potential hits, is probably one of the band's best works, the declaration of intent of a star that will shine for the space of a fleeting yet intense season.This record, released in 1971 under the "Fly" label, represents those evergreen CDs, the glam in any situation, no matter the year you listen to them, they are always current.
The songs are all on the same wavelength, similar in notes, lyrics, and voice, this is the only criticism I can make, otherwise... congratulations....
ded to: those who believe in it more than I do... and those who never believed...

T. Rex
T. Rex was the band fronted by Marc Bolan (born Mark Feld, 30 September 1947 – 16 September 1977). Initially performing as Tyrannosaurus Rex in a folk/psychedelic vein, the group evolved into a pioneering glam-rock act in the early 1970s.09 Reviews
