Hold On To Your T-Rex, 'Cause We're Going For A Ride!This album is a must buy if you're a fan of Marc Bolan, T-Rex, Glam Rock, experimental covers, or if you bought Pat Boone 'In A Metal Mood'. Throughout this album you can't help but wonder if you're listening to a toungue-in-cheek tribute or a well disguised flambasting. To hear some of these songs (such as Chariot Choogle by Fantomas [god bless you Mike Patton!]) the word 'tribute' doesn't quite fit. Not to say this album isn't good (it's very good, it's great!) it's just a little quirky and ecentric. Much like Marc Bolan himself, and most of the albums colaborators. In closing I'll say this; don't play this album for a date, maybe when you're all alone at home with shades drawn, or when you're tired of listening to Leonard Nimoy sing 'I Walk The Line' and need a change of pace. 'Cause Baby, this album is most certainly that!Radical Jewish Culture - Indeed :)John Zorn has outdone himself with his "Radical Jewish Culture" series. This is a hilarious and good album of Marc Bolan covers by everyone from Arto Lindsay to Melvins, via Lloyd Cole and Gary Lucas. The covers are almost all very good, but rarely as good as the originals. The concept - MARC BOLAN: GREAT JEWISH MUSIC - is better than any other concept. It feels so good that this album exists. |
