Despite an era of transition looming on the horizon for the band, tracks such as"Rapids,""Highway Knees,""The Street&Babe Shadow," and "Born to Boogie" contain the expected classic T. Rex sound. The lead off track, "Tenement Lady," is an interesting Beatlesque epic. while "Shock Rock" criticizes the early-'70s glam scene, which T. Rex played a prominent role in creating. Other highlights include one of Bola's most gorgeous and heartfelt ballads,"Broken Hearted Blues," as well as the brief, explosive rocker "Country Honey." Tanx marked the close of what many consider T. Rex's golden era; unfortunately, the band members would drift off one by one soon after, until Bolan was the only one remaining by the mid-'70s. I recently bought this and its as good as electric warrior and the slider highly recommended
