"Change" will make you realize Bolan didn't "lose it"

"Zinc Alloy would probably be considered the point where most T.Rex fans quit listening. In all fairness to that album, there were some excellent songs, but many were spoiled by overproduction."Change" rectifies that by showing a hard rocking side missing on the "Zinc Alloy" album. The song "Superbad" shows Bolan rocking harder than usual, with a killer Bolanic wah-wah sound that begs to be cranked up!Also, "Liquid Gang" takes on a hard funky edge that gives T.Rex a powerful sound.Two two versions of "Painless Pursusion..." show Marc's lyrical prowess, and thought provoking realizations of how his life changed with success. In some ways,I believe "Tanx" and this album show Marc Bolan at his peak. If you've never heard "Zinc Alloy" or wrote that album off, you should take a listen to "Change" Marc Bolan's music and lyrics are a part of my being. This album won't disappoint any T.Rex fans."
