The album is already taking a serious pounding on the other message board. As you'd expect  Basically, if you didn't like the first one, then you're not going to like the new one. Unfortunately for the few, thousands did - including hard core fans like me. As soon as I saw the title in the FTMO flyer yesterday, I was quite excited. Because I knew That's A Fact would be on it and that's a all time fave of mine. Cannot wait. |

For some reason I was expecting to see Little White Lies on there, I would have thought there was a lot they could have done with that, even possibly use it as a single (again).
I wonder what the lead off single will be?

Gotta be honest when I say Im not surprised its taken a pounding, the first Aquostic album did too, even Im not that impressed with the 1st Aquostic album, and its the only Quo album I have never pre ordered and paid full price for (I waited for it to appear in the bargain bin at reduced price) as, for me, most of the tracks simply dont work IMHO. Yeah thousands did like it and buy it of course, maybe for the novelty value in part perhaps ? Having seen the tracklisting for Aquostic 2, Im not that impressed in all honesty, Im just hoping the 3 new songs can justify me pre ordering it at full price. I have always thought they should have done stuff like this years ago, something like the MTV Unplugged stuff, I have a feeling it would had been better than Aquostic |

Indeed, thats because its core members are FF fans, which is what i stated before, personally I see nothing wrong in that. Surely, Mortified, you have to agree with me when I (again) state that much of the material Quo have done since reforming has been poor, with the very few notable exceptions ?, therefore criticism was bound to happen, and has, in many cases been fully justified as far as Im concerned. Not all was good within the band even when Alan was still in it, the last album he did with them being a prime example, it was dire. |

As always I'll keep an open mind and see what it's like. Personally I think it's a good mix of songs, old, newer and brand new.
Never been a big fan of ROLD so maybe the Acoustic version will win me over, (or just make me dis-like it more like Rain did on Aquostic 1).
No doubt there'll be some duds and some great versions, just like the 1st album, or indeed every other album Quo have ever released.

Surely, Mortified, you have to agree with me when I (again) state that much of the material Quo have done since reforming has been poor, with the very few notable exceptions? I do actually disagree with that. There have indeed been some dire albums, for me especially between '88 and '99. After that, covers excepted, I've very much liked them. I think it's also fair to say that not all FF fans are exclusively FF fans. That was very evident at the Roundhouse gig. I'm as big an FF fan as anyone but not to the exclusion of everything else. I think there is a perception that Quo have a legacy that they have to live up to. Some (many) will certainly say that's the case. But equally many won't. I genuinely loved the Aquostic album and I'm looking forward to the new one. But I also appreciate that many didn't. I also think that a lot of the criticism can be put down to posturing. Dissed before it came out and then dissed when it came out. Regardless. I don't think I've seen anyone openly admit to being pleasantly surprised. Certainly not on a message board. Or have I been radicalised? |

Or have I been radicalised? I understand what yer saying but have to disagree in part In The Army Now - pretty dire with the exception of 3 or 4 songs Perfect Remedy - as above except for two tracks Thirsty Work - really a Rossi solo album in disguise, as was PR imvho Rock Till You Drop - Good album with a couple of exceptions Heavy Traffic - 50% good 50% dire , again imvho Live Alive Quo - good live album apart from that dam medley! Under The Influence - fairly good album but a few dire songs on it The Covers albums - the 1st one was ok ish, but why do 2 mor which were basically dire In Search Of The 4th Chord - 50% good ish material, the other half crap imvho Quid Pro Quo - some good material on this one, again with the exception of a couple of obvious Rossi fillers Aquostic 1, didnt like most of it, it just didnt work for me at all I love Quo I really do and have done since the very early 70's, it saddens me when they release material which, to me , is clearly poor or sub standard, but the gigs have remained good. Of course we each have our own opiniions, thats the way it should be, but like I have said before, I can understand why they often get knocked for some of their material, having said that there is material from the FF era I dont rate at all, Fine Fine Fine being a prime example |

By the way, just to start (or continue) any conspiracy theories, has anyone seen the artwork for the album yet?
The "Rick Parfitt" figure is very indistinct and is also sat behind Francis. And on the vinyl album, only the bass player is on the front cover.
I'm beginning to wonder now about Rick's continuing role in the band. Although I may be reading too much into things.
I do hope he is genuinely OK.

And on the vinyl album, only the bass player is on the front cover. I'm beginning to wonder now about Rick's continuing role in the band. Although I may be reading too much into things. I do hope he is genuinely OK. For the first time in this whole situation (since Rick's most recent heart scare - or even going back to Clumber Park when Freddie first stood in 2 years ago), this is the first time I've thought like that. When I saw the artwork, I thought it was Freddie!! I thought, he has short hair and is sat behind Francis! I thought, they've recorded Aquostic 2 without Rick....but then I saw the tracklisting, and I don't think the songs that Rick sings would be on there if he'd not been involved in the recording of it. Also I'm disappointed/surprised that he's not going to be part of the 2 upcoming Aquostic gigs. If it is still down to health reasons, that's absolutely fine, and I wouldn't want him to do anything that put him at risk.....I'm just beginning to get a bit suspicious about the winter tour. But health is king, and I understand that. I just have a feeling they're not being honest with us. The Aquostic set will look completely different without Rick's songs. It's a shame they haven't got a Rick stand in that can sing. I take it Ritchie Malone hasn't sung when he's played recently and the set has stayed the same? |

The original That's a fact is still today one of my fave Quo songs that haven't dated at all IMHO.So why try to fix something that ain't broken?? Again IMHO it can only be a disaster try fiddling around with the original song.....
This is the reason that I'm NOT looking forward to this and will try to avoid listen to the song.

Whether this is to give Rick every opportunity to recover in time or whether they simply don't know (i.e. the health prognosis is all ifs and buts) is anyone's guess. I just thought the artwork for the new album appears quite telling. If Rick is out of the picture - and let's face it, that has to be a possibility for the remainder of the year - then I don't see the point in hiding that. Unless, of course, there is a legal wrangling behind the scenes. He is, after all, one half of what is basically the business and the name. All conjecture of course. Very probably all rubbish on my part. Just speculating on one or two possibilities. And, no, Ritchie didn't sing. Andy and Rhino took up the singing duties when needed. Not sure how that'll work with an Aquostic set but we'll soon find out. |

They are currently promoting concerts and selling tickets on the basis that Rick is part of the band and will be back playing live sometime soon. If they were to say that he's not coming back, I think it would affect both sales and attendances. As you say, it's a business. We are just speculating and we don't know what is going on behind the scenes. We all have our preferences, but we all appreciate that Rick's health and wellbeing are the most important things. If it is to end this way (more speculation) I find it very sad. |

Quo's management need to be upfront when promoting future gigs and state if Rick will be there or not, by not doing so is deceiving paying punters who might otherwise not bother if no Rick. (myself included) My guess is they hope he will be back for the winter tour, but as yet, dont know for sure |

Yes, I wondered who the band were on that drawing😁😁..
Oof, but ITAN, for goodness sake WHY?? Just to carry on making a point or out of stubbornness.
This song is still is still only in the set due to Rossi. I just don't get why this dirge still gets a seat at the table? poor choice.
Am going to give the album a chance(deluxe version) as I liked a good 75% of the first one, but I'd much rather hear another good electric rock album on the vein of QPQ or UTI.

Not so fond of the cover.... but look forward to hear the new songs and some of the re-arranged ones.
Pre-ordered the Deluxe CD and the vinyl (I want all the songs....)
