 Rating: - quo at its bestThis is quo at its best - tracks like backwater and just take me out rival punk and quite frankly many modern bands. The remastering is excellent - rossi and coughlan up in the mix. 5/5 Rating:  - Quo's purple patchThis is from the period where Status Quo were 'aving it' as Liam Gallagher would say. Along with 'On The Level', this is pretty much flawless no nonsense rock. You have to admire the simplicity of the sound and its effectiveness. Despite the basic song structure there are some moments of great musicianship. Quo were a very 'tight' band in the studio at this time able to knock out an album a year, probably only spending a month in the studio. Not sure who plays the solo on 'just take me' either Rossi or Parfitt but this reveals a higher level of guitar skills than is usually associated with the Quo. Like early AC/DC, the formula works and it is standard blues/rock pub fayre. The Quo sound doesn't take long to start sounding a bit tired, but it ...

Continuing the trend of their previous releases 'Piledriver' and 'Hello', 'Quo' absolutely rocks, with every song right out of the top drawer. From the opening of 'Backwater' to the closing number - bonus track 'Lonely Night' - Quo just put the pedal to the metal and don't let up for the whole album. Surprisingly, only one single was ever released from the album ('Break The Rules', charting at No 8) I say surprisingly simply because of the excellent quality of the songs on offer, and now it seems quite strange that they didn't release at least one more single - 'Backwater', 'Drifting Away' or 'Don't Think It ...

It often seems to get over looked in favour of the more popular Hello or Piledriver albums but in my opinion, this is the best of all of their early albums. It starts off with the unmistakable Backwater. Sung by bassist Alan Lancaster, this is a fantastic blues rock song with a great story line and driving rhythm. It has the trademark 12 bar riffage, but played with a real passion that was certainly missing during their 80's stuff. The mix into Just Take Me sees drummer John Coghlan at his absolute best. Muso's quite rightly discuss the values of John Bonham, Cozy Powell and Ian Paice but guys, Coghlan is right up there ... Read More: |
