T.Rex - Electric Warrior

Well I hope you have a fresh tube of lipstick and the glitter eye liner in your super tight jeans with the star on the back pocket.. because this is glam baby.
So originally when T.Rex started out they were playing folk music but that went the way of the dino when they changed their name from Tyrannosaurus Rex, to the shortened version and drew from the shock rock/Glam scene to produce the new sound for the band.
As the album goes it is good, and in some ways there is a folk sound to some of the songs such as "Girl", and "Planet Queen" sure these songs are slower but if you stripped them down to just a guitar you would have the makings of a folky type song. For the most part I like the album and there are some good toe tappers on it for sure. There are some songs that have a smooth groove to them and a prime example would be on the song "The Motivator" it has a great bass line and moves nicely. 
I know that the song "Get It On" will be the one song that most of us have heard over the years in movies, or at the bar... it is everywhere. 
So the songs that I would have to pick as favorites would have to be "Life's A Gas" which has a great feeling to it, and "Cosmic Dancer" this song could stand up with a Bowie song any day.

Well I should go so you can take the curlers out of your hair and put the Gold Lamé tank top on before you go rollerskating.... yes I mean you Andrew.
