Hmm, not a favourite of mine. Not a favourite Quo period of mine.
Not bad, not great, just sort of OK really. Turned up as a B-side somewhere. Running All Over The World, was it? Maybe not.
5/10 I reckon.

This one and Don't mind if I do are the only two songs I like on this album. Couple of others are ok-ish...but for the rest...nah, sorry

I really don't like this one, something about the sounds used on it just grate with me. Think sound wise it really stands out from the rest of the album.
The rest of the album I do love though, not necessarily what I would expect or want from a Quo album. But as a one off, something different from them, it really hits that keyboard dominated 80s AOR melodic sound, that I am quite partial to.

Used to really like it, esp loved the intro
Not listened to AC in such a long time and almost certainly won't again

Love it. Really love it. For some time it was one of my favorites. In a certain way, it still is. I was expecting that the Deluxe edition from some years ago included the version without the effect on Rossi's vocals.

Favourite Quo Album: On The Level

Love or hate the album, this song feels somehow tacked on at the end - the main event has already happened, and this feels a bit like surplus. Should have appeared earlier on the album, but when all the tracks are of a similar quality, where to put it?

I like this album. Bit of a guilty pleasure. Because it was something different but still Quo. Bit like what NTL was to the Frantic 3. Both Quo’s best albums of the 80’s without JC.

I liked the album a lot more than ITAN and this is a lot better than a lot of stuff since ITAN.

An odd release. AC will never be my favourite album, nor ever near the higher echelons of Quos work, but, I would prefer it to ITAN. Possibly speaks more to ITAN's dullness rather than any elements of greatness on AC. It does have it's good points though, Magic being one of them.
I'd rate Magic as perhaps the best track on the album. BB is twee, Birdie song of the 90s, but goddamn it I love it - particularly live. Dont Mind If I Do I'd rate high enough also.

Really in hindsight, if you take the parpy keyboards off this track, the guitars, drums and overall sounds are way punchier than say heavy traffic and backbone.
I always liked this tune as well. Good chorus.

I don't know this one but the title made me think of this one. Is it as good?
