Here is what I mean about reading something properly. There is nothing from me about what you think about any of the tracks, I quoted you about the last sentence only and you got a bee in your bonnet, when we could have just discussed it like adults. Discussing it like adults would be pretty tough considering when you originally quoted it you had an arsey attitude about my opinion... It does have a lack of energy, IN MY OPINION, because the majority of the songs plod along at the same boring tempo and have zero dynamics, end of. But, like you said... "opinions though, eh" Well there's an old saying, "you can't please everyone."

Why do you press the 'dislike' button when people express their views on specific songs? There is no dislike button on this site, ask me on the other. Plus the guy in question wouldn't like a new Quo track if he wrote it himself. I know that there is no such buttons here, but you said -'Why wouldn’t anybody not be allowed to say what they think of each song?' and yet you pushed the dislike button.. Perhaps you have different opinions depending which person there is expressing their view?

This particular person is very mean towards to the new band and simply puts horrible things to wind people up. The track "Face The Music." 2 out of ten, is an insult and in my opinion he wasn't going to like any of it, simply because it's not the FF anymore. You go ahead and put your views up and I bet they are more constructive by far.

You're on about "musiktruhe" from the other board Tracks I do like from the album are, Cut Me Some Slack Liberty Lane Backbone (ish).. would be better without the repetitive riff

I obviously have to reserve judgement because I haven't heard it yet. I agree that there was an energy to Quid Pro Quo but I'm not sure there was that much in the way of dynamics to each of the songs. The album did come across as fairly one-paced. But enjoyable for all that. I dare say we'll all have had our opinions aired by this time next week. The samples (such as they are) don't have me thinking we've got a Quo classic on our hands here but neither does it sound like we have a Thirsty Work. Hopefully The dynamics were better for QPQ than the upcoming Backbone album. Just gave it a quick listening to. They had a great studio sound as well on that album. The distorted cymbal mish-mash and overall compression detract from my enjoyment of QPQ. I mean I still like that album but it's certainly not down to the mastering. I suppose the vinyl fares quite a bit better in that regard. At least, with Backbone I never felt like turning the volume down or like "I'm being fed crap on CD and the LP buyers get a superior version". And for that alone, I must congratulate the band + Andy Brook...

Just out of interest. Went into my local HMV today, yes that dying dinosaur lol. Backbone wasn’t even featured where all the new releases are etc... I think you know where I mean. The only sign Quo had s new album was in the Status Quo section which contained one cd and the digipack. Poor imo. I don’t know if there is still some bad blood as didn’t Wuo sign some exclusivity to Tesco once or something along those lines ? Again it might have just been my local HMV but interesting if it was being hidden nationally in their shops !

They had it exclusively for a period of time (maybe 2 weeks or a month) before anyone else was allowed to sell it. Don't know if this has affected relationships with other retailers or not.

Aren't they forced to display it more prominently once it's in the top 10 in the UK charts ? Or do they not have special shelves for these any longer ? You should've asked for it anyway, pretend you can't find it, viking55 .

HMV went the way of the dinosaur in the UK. Although there still might be the odd shop somewhere. Not sure. I always preferred independent record shops, and even Virgin after it was independent, to HMV. But eventually, HMV was all there was. All we have in Edinburgh now is Fopp, which I believe is connected to HMV in some way. It's quite a good shop though for all that.

There's a HMV in Southend They cleaned both them out in Edinburgh. One is now JD Sports and the other has been demolished while they build a new complex on the old shopping centre site. The last HMV I was in was in the Trafford Centre in Manchester at the back end of last year. For all I know, it's still there.

Not been in a while as I now live at the other end of town, but the HMV in Ocean Terminal in Edinburgh is still there.

They shut the big one down and opened a smaller one. I bought Rick's album from there when Amazon messed up. I think it's still there!
