Not a Quo classic by a long shot. Very commercial and let down by very poor production this album fails to deliver especially after the last offering (the fantastic Live! album).
Their first album on the Vertigo label that fails to rock. Having said that the track of Hard Time opens the album in familiar Quo fashion but the lightweight Can't Give You More, Let's Ride and Baby Boy really do under perform. The album is saved from oblivion with harder tracks such as You Don't Own Me, Rockers Rollin' and the ever popular (and bouncy) Hold You Back. A reworking of the John Fogerty track Rockin' All Over The World is still as popular today in the live set as it ever was which in turn is followed by the real slow bluesy number Who Am I? Again, weaker tracks like Too Far Gone and For You spoil it with the once very popular Dirty Water being the penultimate track.
Triple pick: Rockers Rollin', Who Am I? & Hold You Back.
