I pretty much like the entire album apart from the re-working of In The Army Now and maybe The Winner, which I'm not wild about.
The first 4 tracks for me are as good an opening to a Quo album as there's been in a very long time. I know Let's Rock is a bit hackneyed lyric-wise but it's got a nice groove to it.
Two Way Traffic and Dust To Gold are modern classics and I can't choose between them for the best on the album.

Put to one side the shockingly polished clinical unnatural production.
What about the songs....
Two way traffic
and on a quick listen liked Anyway you like it. Reminds of someone could be it sounds like something off Tom Petty or Under the Influence. Yes that last comment is confusing. It is to me to.

Some great songs on the album but I'm quite fond of Movin' On which is on my shortlist for my funeral.

Two Way Traffic blew me away the first time I heard it…..it just rocks.
Sounds like a band half their age with that energy and power

I should probably listen again before posting
I remmeber really liking the tracks that keep getting mentioned, the riff to movin on blew me away,as did 2 way traffic. I was mad for frozen hero
But this isn't an album I went back to, and I can't explain why
I really loved it when it came out, much more than I liked backbone, but I go back to backbone and don't go back to this
Will have to search for my CD if I want to listen. This has been removed from streaming services along with UTI

In fact, credit where credit is due, its by far the best opening track since NTL. If that were on NTL or any original Quo album it would still be a highlight. That said, my personal fave remains Dust to Gold. I just love the mood, atmosphere, drive of the choruses, the tempo changes, Rossi's voice and even the backing vocals. The lyrics are also great and, dare I say it, even quite deep...for Quo! As said, it is a modern day classic and worthy of the Quo name - and I don't get to say that often! |
