Tyrannosaurus Rex - Prophets, Seers & Sages - The Angels of the Ages

How does one rate this music? Part of the charm of the first four Tyrannosaurus Rex albums is that there's something otherworldly about them. No folk music sounds like this, yet they're strangely catchy and melodic (if simple). This is their second album, and it doesn't do much different from their first. Some light percussive playing, lots of strummed acoustic guitar and Marc Bolan's signature wailing/changing. Definitely, absolutely not for everybody, but if you're into this "sort of thing," there's no going wrong with Tyrannosaurus Rex's early albums.
