Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by one of Marc Bolan's most muscular, heavily distorted guitar riffs, this swaggering, stomp-laden track represents the harder, more abrasive edge of 'T. Rextasy'. The dense, syncopated groove and aggressively confident vocal delivery heavily anticipated the impending stadium rock and punk movements.
