Marc Bolan back to his best making music for himself

Review Score: (8/10)
Dandy in The Underworld, is Bolan back to his best. This a clean and mature sounding album from a clean and mature person. the craziness in his life has gonw and his music is back to where it should be. Dandy in the Underworld the title track, very clever about himslef. Groove A Litle a good tight funky number. Perhaps the inclusion ofI Love To boogie seems out of place, but it was a hit single in the UK, so it had to go on. Teen rioy Structure is classic Bolan Boogie, whilst the atmospheric Pain & Love shows that Marc could right songs a a deeper level if needed and make them truly haunting. Perhaps the album lacks the raw sex appeal of Slider and Electric Warrior, but then this was a much saner and happier Bolan than the Bolan of 71 and 72. bBolan's voice has returned and is on top form, the lyrical madness is stll there and the production is smooth. Also worth a mention is the excellent hang Ups an simple number that has an excellent feel. Please don't believe those eho say only buy Slider and Electric Warrior, Bolan was far more than that. Dandy really shows Marcs universal ability as a song writer and true individual, there are some very beautiful songs on here, don't let anyone tell you other wise. Pleae feel free to E Mail me, I currently writing articles on all the Bolan Albums and would like any thoughts or comments, especially to do with the lyrics
