3.5 - In an alternate universe T. Rex hears AC/DC and decides to shift their sound slightly to something more macho with less sophisticated sneer. This record might be the result. Hard, glam-inflected rock - kinda cool, kinda dumb. Perfect dive bar playlist fodder.

imo you should have to pass a minimum threshold of groove and charisma before they let you have a rock band. 4/10

There isn’t enough in this review about how bad these guys are. I was only a couple songs in when I realized I was getting nothing creatively. The production is poor and completely uninteresting. The instrumentation is alright, but derivative and the writing is so fucking atrocious. I don’t feel I need to explain. “The whole world’s goin’ crazee. Crazee crazee crazee crazee crazee.” The fuck? Not to mention they use the same hokey trop of spelling “crazy” as “crazee” twice on this project like they were really trying to get something going. Every song blends together and sounds like a boring version of every other glam rock artist out there at the time. “The Sweet”, “Rod Stewart”, “Mott the Hoople”, etc. Also the two covers on this record are insulting. I have no respect for this thing. Sorry. 1/5

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yes! It has this weird hybrid of almost Beatles esque sound in some parts but mostly good old dad rock throughout, was exhilarating Favourite song: Track 1 - How D’You Ride?

This album sounds like it should be blaring in the grottiest bar imaginable in Blackpool. Some of the songs do sound like a B-Tec Led Zeppelin, and some of the vocals are incredibly grating. I was surprised by how much of this I enjoyed though, some of it is just meat and potatoes rock and roll done well. And sometimes that's enough to make up for their spelling of 'Goodbye'. Best Track: Gudbuy T'Jane Worst Track: How D'You Ride

Really didn't enjoy the Janis Joplin move over cover, but most of the rest of the album is a pretty energetic, mostly entertaining rock album... though i can't help but think i wouldn't really listen much here as it seems Led Zeppelin was doing everything much better at the time.

Glam rock meets ACDC and it was simply horrrrible!

Oh, my eyes perked up when I saw this next album. Probably my all time "Glittter Rock" band. They have originals that became hits for some other bands. "Mama, weer all crazy now" covered by "The Runaways" and "Quiet Riot". Quiet Riot's biggest hit "Cum on feel the Noise" was a Slade original. Of course thier cover of Janis Joplin's "Move on over" is pretty ritcheous, love the bass on that song. My all time Favorite Slade song is, "Run, Run Away"(not on this album), still remains heavy on my rotation. If you aren't familiar with it, do yourself a favor and listen.

horrifically generic and boring glam rock, solidly in the category of "will be impossible to recall exactly how it sounded two months from now"

Dec 21 2024 Author

I’d never heard of these guys before and honestly didn’t expect much based on the cover (not fair I know). I was happy to be surprised by this one; it is quite good. Distilled hard rock without the blues posing or guitar wanking.

Bluesy and rough edged rock and roll. Rocks surprisingly hard, yet charming in its way. Fun stuff. Fave Songs: I Won't Let It 'Appen Agen, Move Over, Gudbuy Gudbuy, I Don' Mind, Mama Weer All Crazee Now

Fun album. I had now idea they stomped so hard. This is proto hair metal (which I guess is what glam was)

so catchy and bouncy and textured and silly and fun that i kinda cant believe it FHJFSHJSF...its the perfect length too, just a big burst of swinging, crunchy energy that gets in and out before it has any time to get old, and just bursting with personality and a Completeness Of Vision that makes being a big dumb rock band look easy. the mispelled titles tell u most of what u need to know , rly...its not quite fully self parodic, but it sure is a good tribute to music's capacity to overwhelm u in ways that just Make U Dumber. its own kind of spiritual enlightenment. MAN this is fun!

Really like Move Over, Gudbuy Gudbuy, I Don' Mind. Overall great album.

Jul 12 2023 Author

Consider me slayed. The cover of Janis Joplin’s Move Over is inspiring. I Don’t Mind may be slow paced, but it is powerful. This is a really good find.

Looking at the cover of Slayed? conjures up all sorts of bad vibes in the midst of the late 60s/early 70s sleaze; needlessly shirtless chap, suspicious looking geezers and the admittedly anticlimactic lameness of the album title. Color me sufficiently surprised, though, to hear that the music on here is like a blast of soda pop. It is no wonder that Slade's country folk embraced them and heralded them the patron saints of British rock and roll post-Beatles. Have a listen to Gudbuy T'Jane, Mama Weer All Crazee Now and My Life is Natural in order to come to terms with why. While best digested in short order, there's plenty of gems to be heard in this deluxe form. You'd be crazee to not give this a go. Favorites: The Whole World's Goin' Crazee, Move Over, Gudbuy T'Jane, Gudbuy Gudbuy, Mama Weer All Crazee Now, I Don't Mind, Let the Good Times Roll/Feel So Fine, My Life is Natural, Wonderin' Y, Man Who Speeks Evil.

Slade will always be a christmas band to me, so I went into this fully expecting a joke album. Especially with that haircut 🙈 But wow was I wrong! Actually a pretty good album!! Ended up actually knowing a handful songs too. The guys voice I didn't really like though Slayed? You kinda did 4 ⭐️

Feb 14 2024 Author

A delightful surprise! Never actually heard this band before - mainly just know them for Quiet Riot's cover of their "Cum On Feel The Noise" - I had a lot of fun with it. A few reflections, Larry King style: Makes me want to drink 75 pints of bitters and get punched in the nose...this is what's playing in the background when Ray and Dave Davies are getting into one of their legendary drunken fist fights...they must've inspired AC/DC...the Joplin cover is aces!

These greasers know how to have a good time! I like this strange Zeppelinesque/Beatles/Stones inspired ripoff thing they're doing, and they've given it a little sprinkle of Sabbath for good measure. The dude with the bangs fucks. He's a picture perfect vintage 70's rocker archetype that brings it all together. I like this a lot.

Really fun proto glam rock, if a bit willfully ignorant. Best track: Goodbuy T'Jane

In my post-daylight savings time adjustment haze this morning, I got excited about this record, because I mistook Slade for the Sweet and I was excited to rock out to Fox on the Run today. Shortly after, I realized it was Slade and I would have to rock out to Gudbuy T’Jane instead, which is not quite as cool, and maybe the lyrics haven’t aged well, but the song is still pretty good.

Before: This looks fun. Love the album title and art. I think I've heard of Slade but couldn't name a single song. The track names look ANNOYING lol Standout tracks: Gudby T'Jane Wonderin' Y Least favorite tracks: The Whole World's Goin' Crazee Let The Good Times Roll/Feel So Fine During/after: Oh this is so early 70's. After listening to the first couple of songs, I'm not digging it. The vocals are so fried and the melodies are kind of annoying. The Whole World's Goin' Crazee makes me want to rip my eyelashes out. Gudby T'Jane has some fun little guitar riffs and stood out to me a bit. Wonderin' Y was definitely one of the better ones as well. Kill 'Em At The Hot Club Tonight was my favorite track, probably because it was SO different from the others. A lot of these tracks sounded more or less the same. It's like Led Zeppelin but much worse. I did appreciate that the band doesn't seem to take themselves too seriously. I was glad when it was over. It was a little painful. Not quite egregious enough for a 1/5, so 2/5 it is.

I can’t say much about the record musically because there’s not much here. It’s blues rock done in a seventies style. I was put off by the singing because I felt like it didn’t match the music underneath.

I've listened to 100 albums for this challenge so far and this one is maybe the most forgettable. I can't understand why this is on here when it's at most cromulent - this is supposed to be a must-hear?

Laughably bad. I swore this was a parody album until I looked them up. Horrible lyrics, painfully derivative vocals and instrumentals - every song felt worse than the last. A truly bad experience. 1/5

Nice and easy, no need to be eloquent about this one. Terrible album, couldn't listen to even one song from start to finish, too old, very much obsolete stuff. And quite a off-putting album cover, although I think that was the idea behind it.

Sep 18 2023 Author

I was 10 years old when this album was released. I didn't hear it until a little later, but it was thanks to Slade, among other things, that my musical tastes were formed in great detours. Nostalgia? Not a trace.

Aug 25 2023 Author

Sometimes a cover tells you all you need to know. One of their albums (till deaf do us part) has a bent 6 inch nail hammered into an earhole. And I now believe these man-boys of Wolverhampton had no more meaningful or artistic ambition than to 'ave a go and cash in on the crap glam rock era. They sure 'ave succeeded in making satirically aweful music. But why did they make so much of it? As if english food, and the weather wasnt enough.

I loved this one, but none of my friends cared too much for it. Bought a few more of their albums after this but then moved on. Slade weren't very popular over here in Canada. Not like in the UK. Funny how that works. My parents especially hated this one. (What's he yelling about?)

rowdy and raucous early glam, or maybe punk rock? if you're a metal oldhead, holy damn this album will be right up your alley. absolutely the kind of music to bang your head and stick your tongue out like a fool. it's a real ruckus of an album, sounds like a group of stupid drunk dudes gathered and made a punk album in their garage. you can smell the sweat from the vinyl record. lots of the tracks are intentionally misspelled. i found it very enjoyable!

Is this the birth of hair bands in the 80s? I was adding this to the 80s genre playlist and I went back to make sure I was right and was off by a decade! Good stuff here, solid 4, easy 4.5 and I’m high we go high🤩

Memories of teenage years. This band were the epitome of the skinhead cult in their early days and they were up there at the front. Went on to become legends.

My dad bought this on release. I'm not sure why, I think he only played it once. I played it a lot, still play it occasionally. I absolutely love it. Favourite songs have changed over the years, from Gudbye T'Jane or Mama weer Crazee Now to Look At Last Night.

I'll be the first to admit the lyrics are a bit trite, but that sound of Noddy Holder's highly distinctive vocals, fuzzed up guitars and pounding drums, oh man that sound is freaking awesum. I wish there was a contemporary band with this sort of ballsy rock.

Once in a while the UK bias of this list pays off. I doubt this album would be here otherwise. Like most Americans my age, we first heard Slade on their song Run Runaway. It was only years later I found out two of Quiet Riots biggest hits were both Slade songs, so I had to look into them. I've only listened to their greatest hits and live albums, but I can say I'm a fan. This is my first time listening to a studio album. It's just good, fun, stripped down rock & roll at its finest. You can tell the band is having fun playing. I had fun listening to all 10 songs. Gudbuy T'Jane and Mama Weer All Crazee Now were the ones I knew best, so they were my favorites.

The British equivalent of AC/DC but yammier and funnier. Underrated musicianship too. That backline is deceptively funky and tight for what is glam rock fun. Brilliant.

Pretty dynamic, it reminds me of sounds from Queen, Elo, or Oingo Boingo. Probably a good album to listen to while driving. I listened to some other albums by Slade, and I absolutely loved them! Favs: Dontcha stop Moving in Stereo

Much cooler people than myself have told me for years how great Slade is and I still never listened to them. The only thing I ever knew about them is that a couple of Quiet Riot classics from my youth were covers of their songs. Well this rocks, and I'm embarrassed I slept on this band.

I definitely enjoyed this album. It was fun and energetic. It was never boring, if just a little repetitive. Definitely reminds me of a few bands, so probably not the most original style, but I like it and they do it very well. So, to answer the question, yes, they slayed.

Slade. Wow! Listened to them as a kid in the 70s. Good memories although by far not one of my favourites today.

Oct 20 2025 Author

4

Enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would for some reason. They definitely fall on the rock side of glam rock and this is a proportion that works I think. No songs with a runtime longer than three and a half minutes, no silly interludes or outros, it all ticks along nicely. It's still fairly straightforward stuff, no completely unexpected turns. Even so, one listen was perfectly fine. 3.5.

Oct 20 2025 Author

4

Mildly surprised. Though definitely famous for their Christmas anthem, this is a rather entertaining album. The charleston-like swing Kill Em At The Hot Club Tonite was a hypnotic interlude. Also enjoyed Wonderin Y, and The Whole World's Goin' Crazee. One of those where I won't be back, but I am happy to have my festive opinion of Slade changed.

Not a lot of complexity or deep emotion. But it is a lot of fun!

I know and love Slade’s run of 70s glam hits - it’s not Christmas in my house until Noddy Holder says so - but I’d never listened to any of their albums. I think they may have been more of a singles band (Gudbuy T’Jane and Mama Weer All Crazee Now are the stand out tracks for me) but this was still fun.

Oct 03 2025 Author

Heard of them, but never listen to this LP before. Deceptively simple rock. However, there is more here. The easy thing would to say this is a precursor to AC/DC, and that is probably true but there is more. Slade has more emphasis on harmonies. I could hear elements that reminded me of The Beatles, and Queen. Overall, much more entertaining than I would have suspected from the cover art.

Slayed?
