This is also not available on the streamers. But, I made the mistake of listening to the opener on Apple Music as it’s one of Quo’s biggest hits and it sounds freaking delicious. However, since the rest of the album ISN’T available, we are relegated to YouTube and someone’s personal rip of the record and it sounds terrible.
But this record doesn’t sound terrible. It sounds like Status Quo. A band that I should know a LOT better since they opened for Queen a bunch of times. But I never investigated them.
This is right in that Nick Lowe/Bay City Rollers/Paul McCartney nexus (that I bet they actually invented if not perfected) and it really works. Each track has me wanting to search Ultimate Guitar for chords and anxious to get to learnin’ some Quo.
From what I understand this is a bit of a departure for Status Quo, but I can’t really speak to it since I have only heard one other record of theirs and it’s from 1986. But, listen to “Over the Edge” and tell me that they aren’t kin to Cheap Trick.
