"I want to give every child a chance to dance"

Review Score: (10/10)
Nobody could capture a persona to tape like Bolan could, or pen melodies as breathtaking as his...
This is the stage in his career when he was merging his nutty pop-folk with touches of electric guitar, right before he abbreviated the band name and reinvented himself with Electric Warrior. Personally, I find Beard of Stars, Unicorn, and T-REX to be flat-out amazing work. Many choose to ignorantly pin these albums as just the material that lead to Electric Warrior, but those people are really missing the heart that is present in the songwriting.
Check out these lyrics to "Root of Star":
"a root of star/ I gave to thee/ from the canyons of the sea/ a jewel of frost/ that was lost/ in days of dreams when we were free
a shield of bronze/ a thousand gongs/ that calls the queen of dreams to me/ a mask of jade/ was surely laid/ to the formal finery"
There is a certain mystical power at work here not present in his later (more renowned) albums.
