If I am in the mood to listen to some Quo, then I definitely wouldn't put on this album. On the other hand, if I fancied some nice melodic AOR with a real commercial scheen, then I may well play, Ain't Complaining. Definitely don't rate it as a, "Quo," album, but I do think as an 80s AOR album, that it has some really good stuff on it, particularly side one.

I’ve never got the dislike for the cover. What’s wrong with it? It makes me wince. It was a shock. compare to all the previous album album covers, though there had been some terrible promo shots on Army that caused rock fans to turn away in droves Look at the excellent Quotographs book, the AC cover is greatly at odds with 99% of the bands look. If this album was your era then it's understandable you don't see the problem, but for fans it was hard to take. Rick's hair is short, they all wear different clothes, apart from Francis, whose silly expression told that the new band wasn't serious I think they realised and rowed back from this. In particular the live ads onwards concentrated on rick and Francis rocking with the denim, waistcoat and tele look. I think the AC negative reaction greatly increased the promotion of a new image of SQ as a duo. Francis said that the album had shocked people and this hadn't been the intention |

You've invoked Swiss cheese with that one. |

I have a soft spot for the album. Loved it as a kid. Some tracks are truly dull, specially the ones that Rick wrote. But i enjoy 80% of the album. The B-sides were amazing. Loved the album cover too. That's the Quo i remember from my childhood/youth
