These guys sound so Bowie-esque it's not funny. They were coming off the back of the Bowie penned and produced "All the young dudes" (Bowie was a fan of the band) so maybe there was a little of that magic dust left in the air. Definitely a kind of Bowie/Bolan glam flavour to the music and vocals.
Mott eked out their place in the music world at the time, but they were overshadowed by so many of the bands around them, including Bowie and the new young band who opened for them on tour; Queen.
It's a solid, fun, and not uninteresting pop-rock album, but I can also see why they didn't become as famous as some other groups.
