Let’s not have this descend into nonsense please. This is for links to new album reviews. There’s another thread if you want to snipe at each other.
Ta!

What a great review! The start made me laugh, the reviewer has obviously cast the odd glance on here. Really summed the album up well, as other people I know who heard the full album have unanimously said, it's their best album in years. Great writing from Rossi/Young and Rossi/Bown, as you'd expect but some storming songs from Francis and Rhino too. For me though the highlight of the album was Richie's writing contributions, that young man has a very bright recording future ahead of him if and when Francis finally calls it a day.

Another very favourable, fair review. I'm being very pleasantly surprised at the adult, measured, open-minded and unbiased tone of the music press reviews so far. Let's hope everyone can approach the album in the same manner.

The German Classic Rock also gave it 8/10 and has it as highlight, although the review is much shorter and says much less about the album than the English one.

German eclipsed have both a review of the album and a double-page spread interview with Francis and Andy (including a side interview with Andy about his involvement with Pink Floyd).
Michael Lorant calls Backbone the "best new Quo album in decades" but also says that it doesn't quite match their 70s glories. Review score is 7,5/10 (I think QPQ got more, but oh well...)

There is a review of the album in the current issue of Planet Rock, they give it 3/5 and the comments are more positive than negative, but they don't paint as rosy a picture as Classic Rock.
There is also a one page interview with Rossi in the magazine.
Other than that the mag is worth getting if only for the photo of Slade in their swimming trunks ...

Very fair and even handed review. The final sentence is totally accurate.
