Listening to this album I got a really heavy David Bowie vibe from it. Researching about the band I find out that Bowie was a huge fan of the band and actually wrote their biggest hit "All the Young Dudes" for them. In fact after learning that the band was about to split, Bowie persuaded them to stay together and offered them "Suffragette City" from his then yet-to-be-released Ziggy Stardust album and they turned it down. It is hard to imagine a world where they take the song and Bowie isn't the singer of one of his biggest hits.Anyways the album itself was pretty good. Typical 70's style glam rock made better by the Bowie influence for sure.
"All the Young Dudes" - not on this album but I wanted to hear their biggest hit
"Violence"
Tomorrow's Album #636 Slint - Spiderland
