Having
shot themselves in the foot with a succession of below-par albums in
the 1980s, Quo began to reassert themselves firstly with a series of
high-profile concerts (including the Rock Till You Drop event which
earnt them a place in the Guinness Book of Records) secondly with this
album featuring the same title as their marathon stint playing 4 cities
in a day. It's a partial return to form; the guitars are higher in the
mix, the drums/bass are loud and much of the first half of the album
roars out of the traps like a hare on speed at a greyhound meet: Like a
Zombie, One Man Band and even the re-recording of "Can't Give You More"
(although deemed un-neccessary by some fans) display an aggression and
energy which rolls back the years (most of the band were in their early
40s by this point.)
On the flip side, the quality of the album is
seriously diluted & diminished by far too many un-necessary covers
and even more so by the baffling re-recording of the dreadful,
saccharine and utterly annoying love-ballad "Tommy" from 1989's Perfect
Remedy album (come on guys, once was bad enough!) What grates most is
that the four B-sides/unreleased tracks (Heavy Daze, Mysteries from the
Ball, Dead in the Water and Better Times) were far, far stronger than
songs like Fame or Money, Good Sign and Nothing Comes Easy which DID end
up on the album.
Take a hypothetical track-listing: Like a
Zombie, All We Really Wanna Do, Fakin' the Blues, One Man Band, Rock
Till You Drop, Can't Give You More, Warning Shot, No Problems, Heavy
Daze, Mysteries from the Ball, Dead in the Water, Better Times.
With a track-listing along those lines (covers & re-recordings
omitted and the B-sides included instead of the three album tracks
mentioned earlier) I suspect this would have been hailed as a classic
album and up there with Quo's very best. As things stand, a good effort
and still worth buying but very much a case of much less would have been
a great deal more.
