I'd been curious to listen to Tyrannosaurus Rex based on friends' recommendations over the years, but this CD was not the place to start. The songs themselves don't impress, but that may be in large part due to the terrible recording--distant, boomy, and indistinct. But not to put it all on the engineering--the songs start to sound the same, and the group's format didn't lend itself to great sonic variety. And you've got to be a real fan to want the second CD with a Bolan interview.
