Slade - slayed?

Slade's third studio album from 1972 is widely considered one of their best and also one of their most successful. Its easy to see why, as a slab of early 70s heavy rock its exhilarating with plenty of foot stomping glam fun. "Mama were all crazee now" is a highlight of the album and indeed their catalogue with its rock energy and the sheer joy delivered by every chord.

Special mention also however for the rock anthem "How d'you ride" too which opens the album and is one of a number of uptempo rock attacks. "Gudbye t'Jane" has a great rock melody and has to have one of the best rock choruses of the period. Yeah these boys might be crazee but they were orroight too!
