Great song, great album. Heavier than anything Quo have done in years.
americanquo...if it wasn't for Rhino's influence, Quo would sound a lot like The Eagles by now, if they were still going at all. You're probably right, I'm simply making the same evaluation you guys did 30 years ago. Edwards is okay, but Lancaster was/is a better songwriter and bass player...I'm buying and enjoying most of the later stuff, so I'm not in the FF only crowd. However, I can only judge as I judge based on what I like.

He wrote some dreadful stuff and you can hear those efforts on the 1+9+8+2 album and the Back To Back album. Although to be fair, none of the song writing by any band member was of the highest quality on those two albums (especially the BTB album).

I know it changed a lot, and some wasn't so great, but some of his solo demos on youtube are pretty damned good. More geared for singles than like the heavy early stuff, but still good. His work with The Bombers was damned good.

Good song but Rhino's voice still sounds like a goose farting through thick fog.

To be fair it wasn't just AL who wrote some rubbish on those last albums, the others also had a plentiful supply of shite too. And yet some of it is better than I had expected, and I actually like some of the stuff. But yeah, without JC's drumming the band has never been the same, even before AL left. IYCSTH I consider one hell of a good record. I know that's not popular here, but viewing it from my perspective it's top notch. However, the two things that lift it from merely being good to very good or even great, are AL's bass playing and especially the drumming. It's like a clinic for how to drum a rock album. Edwards has had a few good moments and written/co-written a few good songs, but overall he doesn't come close to AL, and only once has there been a drummer even close to JC.
