Análisis (en inglés) - :
The album that essentially kick-started the U.K. {\glam rock} craze, {^Electric Warrior} completes {$T. Rex}'s transformation from hippie {\folk}-rockers into flamboyant avatars of trashy {\rock & roll}. There are a few vestiges of those early days remaining in the acoustic-driven {\ballads}, but {^Electric Warrior} spends most of its time in a swinging, hip-shaking groove powered by {$Marc Bolan}'s warm electric guitar. The music recalls not just the catchy simplicity of early {\rock & roll}, but also the implicit sexuality -- except that here, {$Bolan} gleefully hauls it to the surface, singing out loud what was once only communicated through the shimmying beat. He takes obvious delight in turning teenage {\bubblegum} {\rock} into campy sleaze, not to mention filling it with pseudo-{\psychedelic} hippie {\poetry}. In fact, {$Bolan} sounds just as obsessed with the heavens as he does with sex, whether he's singing about spiritual mysticism or begging a flying saucer to take him away. It's all done with the same theatrical flair, but {$Tony Visconti}'s spacious, echoing production makes it surprisingly convincing. Still, the real reason {^Electric Warrior} stands the test of time so well -- despite its intended disposability -- is that it revels so freely in its own absurdity and willful lack of substance. Not taking himself at all seriously, {$Bolan} is free to pursue whatever silly wordplay, cosmic fantasies, or non sequitur imagery he feels like; his abandonment of any pretense to art becomes, ironically, a statement in itself. {$Bolan}'s lack of pomposity, back-to-basics songwriting, and elaborate theatrics went on to influence everything from {\hard rock} to {\punk} to {\new wave}. But in the end, it's that sense of playfulness, combined with a raft of irresistible hooks, that keeps {^Electric Warrior} such an infectious, invigorating listen today. [The 2002 Japanese reissue includes eight bonus tracks, all of them "works in progress."] ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide
