It’s tempting to dismiss Slade as a novelty glam rock band, appearing on Top of the Pops with mirrored hats and outrageous mutton chop whiskers, but they were always much more than that. For a while in the early 70s, Slade were one of the biggest bands in the UK and they also managed a great comeback as a last minute replacement for Ozzy Osborne at the Monsters of Rock in 1980.
This album is a classic example of a rock solid band on top form, with a great selection of original songs and a couple of covers. Noddy Holder has a unique vocal style, and you can hear his Black Country accent creeping in. The rest of the band are equally tight, and as well as the stomp along numbers there are a couple of quieter tracks featuring (gasp!) a piano and even some harmonies.
Bostin!
