Slayed? is a coarse album. The music is rock—drums, guitar, bass and vocals. And these guys make the most of it. They've got stadium-stomping anthemic beats and a singer who does a great banshee imitation. What else does there need to be?
They should be classified as blues rock, too. Check out I Don' Mind and they do a great cover of Janis Joplin's Move Over.
This is rock and roll in the same tradition and spirit as the early pre-Beatles rock and rollers and contemporaries like Rod Stewart. This is pure fun, probably a bit more lowbrow and mindless than the others, but those descriptors are not meant as insults. This is rock and roll arguably at its purest and best.
The album is an unexpected breath of fresh air. It's simple, loud and fun. Glam rock is surprisingly the genre that's doing the most to keep rock and roll pure. This album was meant for the 1001 Albums list since it's really a thinly-veiled list of the top rock albums anyway.
All of the songs are great. The stand outs are How D'You Ride, The Whole World's Goin' Crazee, Look at Last Night, Move Over, Gudbuy T'Jane and I Don' Mind.
★★★★★★★★★★
