83) Status Quo-If You Can't Stand The Heat 1978

Av Mikael Persson - 18 januari 2012 14:05

 


On this Quo-album the band took a slightly different direction by playing some more melodic rock. Some songs are okey, but only the ones that are played in the "old" way. The melodic ones are... well, not so good. Also a couple of really bad ones is featured on the album.


1)Again and again (8,0) A good rockin' opening with a strong refrain and nice guitarsoloing.

2)I'm giving up my worryin' (5,5) Poppy and melodic. Not very fun.

3)Gonna teach you to love me (6,0) Not very good start but when it starts to rock it's Status Quo-boogietime again.

4)Someone show me home (6,0) An okey ballad. Very melodic and almost cheesy, but they get away with it.

5)Long-legged Linda (8,0) A furious rocker about a 16-year old performer at the Whisky-a-go-go in L.A Very good partysong!

6)Oh! What a night (7,0) Boogierocker with a melodic refrain and female background vocals.

7)Accident prone (4,0) Discodrumming and very melodic. This is not good...

8)Stones (4,5) Stupid and bad poppy song.

9)Let me fly (7,5) Back to what Quo does well; boogierock'n'roll.

10)Like a good girl (7,5) Rock'n'roll!


Score: 6,40

    Album number two from this incredible supergroup that made some unforgettable music in the 1980's! This is again melodic hardrock with a lot of keyboards and with impressing melodic, orchestral and powerful songs with fantastic vocals. A mus...

    8 years into their albumreleasingcareer J. Geils Band released another album worth of rockin' and rollin' songs but this time they took a much calmer and poppier path and not all the songs are top class anymore. It seemes like they went out ...

    Another one of my favorite bands from the 1980's and 90's. I have always loved thier simple and bluesy hardrocksongs with singer Jack Russell's clear and sensetive vocals. This, their 3rd album is one of the highlights of the band's career a...
