Brain Capers is Mott The Hoople's 1971 album, the last they made for Island Records and the fourth in their early run of records. Produced by Guy Stevens, it captures the band's original lineup of Ian Hunter, Overend Watts, Dale Griffin, and Verden Allen before their glam-era breakthrough.
The album is loud, raw, and unpredictable, mixing hard-driving rock with swaggering energy that critics have compared to heavy metal and punk years ahead of their time. Verden Allen's keyboards give the songs a distinctive period character, and Hunter's vocals carry the band's mix of grit and heart throughout.
