for absolutely no reason i walked into a cd store, and decided i was going to buy an album completely at random (well, i wanted something where i knew the cover from magazines but had no idea what it sounded like). i picked up t.rex's the slider, sat down with a pair of big can earphones, and had a listen. it's almost enough to make me think a divine hand was guiding my choices today, holy SHIT

I have the best of T. Rex. One time I dropped acid and spent half the trip in the bathtub rocking out to that CD. It's happy music.

It's a great album. But if you liked that, then get Electric Warrior, it's even better!

Definitly, one of the true rock classics, Giospurs!

No, I've got no idea what it's about either. "JoJo, don't you know?" I really don't...

it's such a strange phrase. does he fight like a rabbit? does he actually fight rabbits? if so, does he put on little boxing gloves and whale on them, or is it some kind of wrestling/UFC type thing? I DEMAND TO KNOW

"This Town Ain't Big Enough..." is an amazing song. But from listening to the other stuff on youtube, it sounds like a one-hit wonder. I do love their look though...

I seem to remember reading/seeing/hearing (whatever!) something about "Rabbit Fighter" really not being about anything actually. Just something that came into Marc's head at the time. I could of course be COMPLETELY wrong. The song "Billy Super Duper" is fairly rare but definately worth having as well.

i took your advice and you craaaaaazy. it's good but slider is balls-out fantastic. even the liner noted on my copy of electric warrior say "if you like this, go get the slider. i probably shouldn't say this since that album's on another label, but it's even better"

Haha, it really said that?
It's still an album well worth having though. I guess I just like it better because Electric Warrior introduced me to T. Rex, and I just loved the sound. Slider is kind of more of the same (even if it is still amazing, and maybe even perfected a little). I don't think Slider has as many classic songs on it either. EW has Cosmic Dancer, Get it On, Jeepster... Slider does have Ballrooms of Mars tho, what a song! I guess it's about time for me to check out another T. Rex album actually...

i'm going to have to listen to it more. i notoriously don't "get" albums the first few times through. even with the slider it took like 3 times and now i can't stop. but whereas slider is basically an entire album composed of hooks, electric warrior seems to be a little more meander-y.

metal guru is the best glam-rock(if you could call slider era t.rex glam) album lead off. and one of the best glam songs period. end of sentence.
