T-Rex - The Slider (Rate this album)

Re: The Slider

I think T Rex was good but being honest with my opinion I think his albums were all mediocre with a few really great songs on each that brings the ratings up to good. He had the songs,the look, & the style which should've led to superstardom in the US but I really believe overall his albums were not strong enough.

I agree with this. I think a lot of T. Rex albums had something to offer, some really good songs, but their albums were never really excellent, except the ''Electric Warrior'' album.

I rated the album a 6 - good album.

Re: The Slider

I can remember my friend (Spanky Madoo who stops by occasionally) had the Slider on 8 Track (either his sister gave it to him or it came with his stereo) but after seeing these flashy cool photos of Marc with his electric guitar in magazines I was psyched for this. I was into the hard rock stuff like Kiss & Aerosmith at the time so I was really expecting some guitar driven hard rock & roll. He told me it was strange & that it was (Knowing him he probably threw it out!).

It was my sister's 8 Track and I only listened to it once. Did not like it at all. I honestly do not know what happened to that tape, but it is possible that I did throw it out.

Boy, do I have a good memory or what???!!! I remember that day & thinking the same thing as you. Knowing you...I think you'd still hate it so stay away from it!

Re: The Slider

I'd call it excellent.

Well worth the ten dollars I spent on the LP. It has its strengths like any other album, but it's something different. I like things that are "different".

Re: The Slider

Was never impressed with Bang a Gong ( the only T-Rex song I have head ) and so never investigated T-Rex's music. Am I missing out or is Bang A Gong a pretty good representation of their musical output ?

Personally I think T. Rex has plenty of song that are better than "Bang A Gong (Get It On)" and it wouldn't hurt to look into them a little more. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I do like Electric Warrior but never really got into T-Rex that much, Slider is a good record so I gave it a 6.
