T.Rex Musical Departure still stands strong

Review Score: (10/10)
Tanx has the Tony Visconti-produced classic Bolan sound, but has lost the continuity of the previous two albums that vaulted Marc Bolan into British pop superstardom. The expectations on this record were enormous, and while Bolan desired to satisfy his teenage army of fans, he also wanted to be taken seriously as an "albums" artist. Hence, the end product is not as consistent as "Electric Warrior" or "The Slider," but the songs that glow on this record are such phenomenal masterpieces that they carry a four-star record into five-star amazon.com territory. "Tenement Lady," "Broken-Hearted Blues," "Shock Rock," "Children of the Revolution," and "20th Century Boy." That is all I have to say.
