Senti que ele tem a voz, que ele tem o instrumental, mas que não fez bom uso do que tinha. Sem musicas favs.
Hot take: I don’t care how influential music from the 70’s is if it’s garbage. This was painful.
I'm only familiar at the outset with 'Bang a Gong,' but I like this kind of 70's 'fun' rock, still with plenty of great riffs and chords, just pop fun. On listening, I found it to be a bit more syrupy than I was hoping for.
Definitely a singles band. I’m surprised I didn’t like this.
Did not like this record one bit, couldn't even finish it. Strong 0.
Not my type sincerely
I don't like this song because the beat is not that good. I would not recommend this song. I don't like this song because the start is not that good. I would not recommend this song.
the first song it started off kinda intresting then as it kept going i starting to not like it to me the lyrics are kinda weird. the second song i dont like ethier because its the same as the first kinda the third song i also dont like because they all start off the same
the first song was okay it started off like uhm something the background music was like the only good thing it was nice. the second song is like worse lowkey
never liked trex
Nope.
another one of those "man i really appreciate this forming the foundation of the genres i love today" but christ this is an absolute slog to get through. dudes smoked a fat bowl before heading into the studio to write a 13bpm lamentation about god knows what
Not for me. 1/5
2/11. its fine! 18/100
Just not a fan of his music and I cant tell 100% why, just one of those underwhelming voices and music combos for me
The vibes are just of a bad version of a Beatles rip-off band. Get It On and Lean Woman Blues can stand up on their own legs and be respectable songs, but nothing else is really any good. And honestly, the album gets pretty bad, too. The only really good things in the album are the two aforementioned songs, and they can't hold up a whole album on their own. AND they're not even really great songs, just good songs. Favorite Song(s): Get It On, Lean Woman Blues
Not a fan whatsoever, felt bored and the songs were repetitive to me. Nothing stuck in my head and by the time it was done I was thankful to get rid of it.
I remember the times my dad introduced me to his record collection when I was a kid. He had a fair chunk of T. Rex in there. I enjoyed nearly everything he introduced me to, but it's almost like a I hit a brick wall when he played anything from this band. I found nothing interesting there. However, they have made their way onto my radar again with this randomised list. So I genuinely gave ‘em another shot and it turns out I’m still not a fan as I straight up found this LP completely boring. There’s very little creativity on display in a musical sense, and virtually no sense of energy in many of the songs throughout the tracklist. The few times a bit of experimentation is thrown in it adds almost nothing to it. I don't know what it is, but outside of the chorus on the big hit 'Get It On' (or 'Bang A Gong'), there is almost no enthusiasm behind the instruments whatsoever. Bolan's vocals also leave a lot to be desired. It even feels like he is singing without any true confidence; as if he is holding himself back on purpose to get that 'cool cat' effect. It's frustrating to listen to. I wouldn't really mind any of this as much if the band actually had something substantial to say to balance things out; but they don't. Perhaps I have just learned, through this list so far, that I'm simply not a fan of the glam rock genre, given my previous rating for a Slade album. Because similar to that Slade album 'Electric Warrior' has aged like milk in comparison to a lot of the fine wine from the stacked era of the 70's.
utter shite
WOW, I thought this was a One-Hit wonder.
Det mesta gillade jag inte Bästa låt: Monolith
This record should have been titled “Bang A Gong: T Rex greatest HIT”. Beyond that good but dated tune, nothing of note.
I did like their song Bang a Gong but not a fan
the only time that my ears perked up is when i thought i heard cigarettes and alcohol by oasis and got excited. Cigarettes and alcohol is much better and more exciting. this is the type of music that gets put in the background while you’re playing uno and you don’t really care about i’m just bored truly
Not a fan
His voice bothers me
Creí que una banda llamada T. Rex haría música más interesante. My dissapointment is inconmesurable and my day is ruined.
While an interesting album, it's not one that I would consider owning.
Tough one. Might be having serious aversion to early 70s stuff.
Here is the lyric sheet for this album: ah - ah - ah - oh yeah! I could have gone my whole life without listening to this and I would not have missed it. The album is derivative in countless ways and so weak musically that I was almost offended. Electric? Hardly. MAYBE "Bang a Gong. MAYBE. Whoever is playing percussion on this is trying to be heard above the drummer, so they're hitting the tambourine (or clapping, or the bongo) just before the downbeat. And it's not consistently done, either. Just random movements to offset whatever groove might be trying to emerge. The guitar sound is compressed and a little flat. The singer (Marc Bolan always made me uncomfortable and not in that "ooh, what-a-strange-and-interesting-person kind of way but in the creepy-but-thinks-very-highly-of-himself kind of way) has NO dynamics or range, the lyrics are insipid and tried. Listening to this is like watching a remake of a TV show that was based on a bad Broadway show that everyone in the 70's had to watch because there was nothing else on. A real overrated downer. Electric my ass.
Rock skal ikke være så rart
я вообще не понял
Olipas tylsää ja perseestä
Enjoyable.
