Album Notes & Community Reviews

The enigmatic, notoriously eccentric Hollywood producer and provocateur reinvents himself on this highly theatrical, slightly cynical foray into glam rock. The album features surprisingly accessible, driving rock arrangements supporting Fowley's bizarre, spoken-sung vocal delivery and distinctly campy, subversive lyricism. It functions as a fascinating, chaotic testament to his perpetual musical chameleonism during the height of the glam era.
