Resurrection sounds quite good, Backwater is fairly decent. Dear John (at best) sounds interesting as it's so different. Other than that, I'm hard pressed to say anything positive. ROLD was painful. Good summary of it based on those samples. 3 or 4 Ok (for what they are) and the only other positive for me is the fact that we get to hear Rick on some "new" output (which is likely to be the last Quo thing we hear him on). I know the album is a load of shite and it would be better to hear him on something better but good to hear him nonetheless...... The two new songs are the blandest of blandest wishy washy nothingness. However, the abiding memory of this album is and will always be the simply disasterous and painful butchering of ROLD. Simply farcical. How on earth did they decide that it sounded good enough to release !!!!

Resurrection sounds how Quo should sound unplugged.

Absolutely brilliant. This band never cease to amaze me. A Grammy is surely in the bag...
Sorry, I must be creeping too much on the other board. Yeah, that's fucking awful

The problem with Resurrection is that it sounds way too much the same as songs on AQ1 like A Reason For Living All strumming along playing the same thing with the only diversions being the backing players. (The latter being debateable separately according to subjectivity)
The one classic boogie song that has stood up for me is Paper Plane. They should have left the experiment there with their boogie classics...its cut and paste from there on in.
Its just a small handful of songs on both AQ albums that have offered something creative and different (and without being happy clappy and too twee)
I actually really like LOTHR from TW. Its an interesting departure. However, its the one song I haven't heard a clip of. It would be wholly ironic if that has been butchered as well!

I actually can't believe they believe what they write. Scientists would have a field day experimenting with some of them

Resurrection sounds quite good, The original always seemed a bit bland / "by numbers".... and lyrically this version is the same... but as you say there is a good "sound" to this version. Not sure about the rest of the song, but on this short clip at least I do like the prominence of guitars, bit of harmonica, and no cheesy backing or orchestral stuff getting in the way.

People who make comments elsewhere about a site are often the ones who complain when comments are made about the site THEY are on... I haven't looked at the comments on the other site and won't. I can't comment anyway since I am not a member there either.. I think it's pointless to comment on sites about a site elsewhere then on the site itself. (not a putdown of you Freewilly, I understand why you made comments over there !) .
