Hmm, cool cover. Music wise, I'm not too sure. I like this album. Although there's not really anything special as such on it, I can't say I dislike any of the tracks. A standout for me is Like A Good Girl. I love this song, and it's easily in my top 20 Quo songs, and it has a crackin' solo too. I always loved the shot on the back, and the inner one too. Someone Show Me Home is a nice song, which I'm not sure if many will agree with, but works well on the album. Again And Again is simply great.
Overall, this album didn't really live up to any of the previous albums, but production wise was miles better than Rockin'. An 8 out of 10 for me.

Like A Good Girl is my least favorite on the album, and Long Legged Linda is only okay, but the rest are butt kicking great. I know this album word for word, by heart. Heard it at least a hundred times now. Might be my favorite of them all, but too early to tell yet. This was JC at his best. |

If RAOTW was thin sounding, IYCSTH was step to the'world of disco'-accident prone etc:-) . Soft but very good sound overall album. I like album. WYW was then hardgroovin' pack. Raw mixin with good guitars like somebody already said before

I quite like the album, excellent album cover. 9/10, as I don't like 'Someone Show Me Home' but did like the ofter version of it on Rossi's solo album 'King Of The Doghouse' version. |

It's a 7 out of 10 for me. I don't like Oh what a night, Gonna teach you to love me and Stones ... On the other hand this album will always be special to me cos together with RAOTW it was the first quo album I got and that got me further into Quo, so I have special memories of it. Still love Accident Prone, Let me fly, Like a good girl and I'm givin up my worrying

A strange album.
But one that I like and Someone show me home is one if their great 'should have been a single ' tracks.
I really like Stones. Nit a great song but it works for me.
It's not a classic but a solid 6.5/10

Just not STATUS QUO , or what we were used to .
2/10 . Loved Again and Again when it was a single then it dawns on you that they where starting to struggle with writing classic QUO tracks .

Having clearly decided to progressively become more pop than rock, they now appeared a bit directionless - as though they were wanting to change but couldn't quite determine how. Some interesting ideas, nonetheless, & I've always really like Accident Prone - even though I shouldn't! Still some semblance of Quo & still a listenable album, if infrequently so. 5.5/10 Is there a potential remix buried in there, I wonder?

I'll give it a generous 7/10 because it really isn't that bad nearly 40 years on.It undoubtedly was a shocker at the time and I'm Giving Up My Worryin' is the most brain rottingly amateur shite the FF ever did,but the rest of it has aged well for the most part,save for a few late '70's production cliches.
In 40 years time,Perfect Remedy and Thirsty Work will still be as dreadful as the day they were first released but IYCSTH has,for me at least,benefitted from the passage of time.

I'll go with Kachunk here. 7/10. Old, bald, fat and mellow, this album has aged well.  |

Uhhh...I'm glad you like it. That might be the single worst thing I've ever heard. I mean, how can you destroy an otherwise nearly perfect ballad? And synths? Dear God... |
