Slayed?

by Slade

The 716th greatest album of all time

Slayed? (1972) is an album by British band Slade that crystallizes their raw, riff-driven take on glam rock. The record emphasizes punchy, anthemic songs built around chunky guitar riffs, stomping backbeats and Noddy Holder's raspy, shout-along vocal delivery, with Jim Lea's melodic bass and occasional violin adding texture. Recorded with a direct, live energy, it showcases the band's focus on high-energy hooks and crowd-ready choruses and stands as a clear example of early 1970s British glam and hard rock.
