Sorry it's a day late, i've included both bonus tracks for this album.
Probably my favourite quo album of the 21st century

I used to play this a lot when it came out. This is the only album post-81 that I will vote for 4 songs.

This is an excellent album. For me at least, probably CQ's best. I'd select more than four if there was an option. Its interesting that two of the favourites voted for on the album so far by others are two songs I like least. One of them (Gravy Train) is I think amongst the worst songs ever written by any Quo incarnation. Ironic that such a poor song should be on such a great album.
I also don't get the attraction of Bad News. Its very 'meh' and is the only other skip song on the album.
BOTE, the title song, suffers from set over exposure, and reasonable song as it is, it would not be amongst my best choices. That frustration, yet again, of CQ totally under representing every album they release at the expense of doing karaoke.
QPQ that followed, was much hyped when it was released, but by my own way of thinking, never matched up to ISOTFC. |

Decent effort but much prefer HT and QPQ.
Can just about manage 4. PBT (great), Hold Me (great), BOTE (very good despite over exposure in the live set) and EA (good).
Like QPQ has too many songs on it and some real dross - FOE, SU, TT and MLH in particular (hate all of them).

I've ticked several with Bad News topping the list.
I also prefer Heavy Traffic and ....Party as albums but there isn't much to choose between them. They're all good. And One By One is probably my favourite Quo 'slow' song this millennium.

I struggled to pick four, as I like most of the album, and like most of it about the same. I don't think there's any classic Quo here, but it's a very good album Went with tongue tied, alright, gravy train and I ain't wastin my time Thought BOTE was great when it came out, but yeah, overexposed now I can't get on with One By One - I've really tried to get it...but I don't  No votes for figure of eight - a song that perhaps could have turned out far, far better if they'd done it differently. |

Unfortunately, I missed this thread due to my forum "sabbatical". I'm quite appalled that Figure of Eight and Saddling Up got so few votes! My four votes would have been:
Electric Arena
Gravy Train (unbelievable! Almost a sort of punk energy to it...)
Saddling Up
Bad News

Figure of 8 got exactly what it deserves, it's the worst track from an otherwise good album.

If the rancid shite that is Bad News wins, I'm closing the forum down.

I assume that's a joke (particularly since the poll is already closed anyway), but I don't think the admin posting such a statement helps the atmosphere on this board in any particular way. Look at how people are already being maligned for daring to express an opinion that's somehow not 'consensus'. Now you don't even want to accept the consensus... |

Guess my dry sense of humour is too dry sometimes..... It is an AWFUL song though........  |
