This tracked popped into my head just which is amazing since I haven't listened to the album since the 80s. And its better than AC track which lasted a couple of bars. (or maybe I'm being sentimental.)

I have always liked it. Shame they repeated it over and over again. It’s almost the template for 1982. John keeps a lovely beat on it.

The album is a bit of a marmite one. I know some slate the album but I've always enjoyed it. Ok, it's not a Piledriver or even a Blue for You or On the Level, but I think it's as good as WYW and far, far better than IYCSTH and the standard RAOTW. There's nothing post NTL that comes anywhere close, nothing.
The title track may be a chugger but it's a pleasant chugger and the intro starts the album off on a positive. Yeah yeah, it's got Something 'bout You Baby I Like on it, oh well. But Take Me Away is a stormer and I love the Chuck Berry cover Carol. My personal favourite is Mountain Lady (yes, even with that ending). Riverside... How many songs have a fade-in? Not many & I love it.
Some say they believe that it's a drum machine on Riverside, but I spoke to JC a while back and he says he did drum on Riverside. Maybe if it is a machine then they used another take. Who knows?
But IMHO, it's the last true Quo album.

It’s a brilliant album IMO,love all of it except SBYBIL which is shite. Imagine if Rossi had only agreed to one last recording with Alan and John.The band could really have gone out on a high instead of a whimper and called it quits then. Cheers

It’s a brilliant album. Love it. I can accept SBYBIL on record as a single but live? Yes it’s shite

To me it sounds very much like the leftovers from Just Supposin'. The songs are undeveloped, there's too little guitar, the sound is drenched with synthy keyboard stuff that jars rather than complements - & Rossi seems to sing everything! Was it meant to be his first solo album?

To my ears it's a half arsed effort & a sad end to John's recording career with the band. Then, of course, it all got worse - much worse!

(or maybe I'm being sentimental.) I just listened to this and dropped the word ‘world’ out and replaced it with ‘Quo’.... it seems more appropriate for the times back then where they should’ve taken a couple of years rest.

Rossi’s best and heaviest guitar solo ever IMO. Brilliant track would have loved to hear this live. Cheers
