By the time of the release of Quo the boogie rock band Status Quo were enjoying a complete reversal of fortune as they had become one of the most successful British groups after several years in the doldrums trying to achieve musical credibility. Featured here is the UK top ten hit Break The Rules. (UK:2)
“From start to finish this is outstanding blues hard rock. The guitar work could be some of their best.”
“Enjoyable pop rock, without never making amazing stuff, it is still a pretty consistent and mostly fun release.”
A real head-banger, Status Quo easily rival AC/DC in terms of pure head-banging no nonsense rock and roll. People who tend to dismiss the Quo as a naff pop band whose every song sounds the same should give this album a listen. An underrated classic.”
“One of the finest albums of Quo, with only nice tracks, beautifully opening with Backwater and Just Take Me and ending in one of my personal favourite Quo tracks Slow Train.”
“Never have Quo rocked as hard or as good as on Quo, the ultimate Status Quo album. It even features a killer acoustic build up number Lonely Man which is one of the most melodic sounding songs they've ever written, nothing like their usual boogie style.”
“Quo does contain its share of party tunes that are pretty good and, what appears to be apparent now, created with the intention of being totally fun. In addition, Status Quo like taking hard rock elements and adding the occasional bluesy guitar licks here and there to make the songs super melodic.”
“Quo is unique among Status Quo albums in that it's much darker and heavier. This like the others features plenty of rockin' good tunes, but there's a sense of foreboding in nearly every track.”
