It is a very interesting question. It is also worth considering the fact that Rick wasn't always fully involved with recent albums, and Francis sometimes had to cover for him in studio at various times. It makes me wonder how many songs didn't actually feature Rick at all... That's exactly my point Edd. Rick's sound was slipping away over the years on the majority of songs which I think was a sad loss to their unique sound. The more the band became Francis's fiefdom, the less Rick had any input, be that writing or playing. I was very pleasantly surprised how "bandy" and not "Francis-y" the new album sounds.

Some will no doubt disagree with that cos of the fact that he does all the main vocals except for a bonus song on one of the other versions of the album I believe... But I actually agree, from what I have heard it certainly sounds like a band effort in quite a few places.

Good to know that. I will keep an open mind and look forward to Sept's release.

Hey CG I think you know that I am mostly a fan of the work before 1983 but besides that also like certain things of the newer work. As you also know I have given my part of critisism of Francis quite often. But...I am also gonna say it when there's positive things to say. And I can tell you this: I didn't think it would happen that I would actually look forward to hearing more of a new album anymore cos for me everything since QPQ, Rick's influence decreasing and then him passing away, Francis not so nice things, etc... But it actually happened. I wanna hear the complete album. I didn't think it would happen after hearing Backbone wgich, even after just 20 second samples is for me the by far weakest song. Francis does all the vocals on it. Fine with me, I don't like Rhino's voice, however, like someone else said, maybe Andy would have deserved a lead vocal. But It's ok with me. In thhe current situation Francis is the front man and can have that right. The background vocals sound ok on this album too (again ging by samples of course) ... Production sounds ok but gguitars could have been a bit more up...vocals sound good, It;s an album without Rick that certainly doesn't sound like something they should have to be asha,ed of or something. At last they seem to remember some things of how Quo shoud sound. Good prudction in my ears too so Francis certainly deserves a compliment for that. And like earlier said, it sounds like a band and not like specifically a Francis album.

A Quo Deal Brexit will require a slight alteration to the title of the new album......

Cut Me Some Slack is what I thought would fit right onto Never Too Late when I first heard the live videos. Yes, I wanna Run Away With You clip reminds me of Ease Your Mind/Mad About The Boy from Blue For You. Probably won't end up anything like it. Waiting For A Woman I got Heavy Traffic album vibe.
