  mark prindle denen bir adam şöyle bir yorum yazmıştır albüm hakkında, noktasına dokunmadan:
  
  well, it's a step in the right direction! the bad electric company has shouted "hey you guuuuuuys!" to a second guitarist and a new singer who sounds almost identical to mr. paul rodgers! and the music must change!. the song is over, it's all behind me. long live rock, i need it every night! the bad company are getting in tune - and they're gonna tune right in on you! there once was a note - pure and simple. bad company have returned to this pure and simple 70s style, with a very warm, organic sound all full of acoustic guitars, pianos and other instruments that are not '80s pussy metal guitars and a singer who sounds like the guy in foreigner. quite frankly -- they sound like the black crowes!
  
  the problem, though - as always - is the songrighting. the songs just aren't that good! it's not enough to simply rip off the worst, most generic tracks from run with the pack (listen to "clearwater highway" and try to convince me it wouldn't fit perfectly alongside mindless pap smears like "sweet little sister") -- to succeed in life, a band must be able to write classics. and certainly there are a few good, fun tracks on here - "little martha," "gimme gimme" and "dance with the devil" are all worthy of the once-valuable bad company stamp of approval, and ""abandoned and alone" sounds like fuckin free!!!!!
  
  speaking of "fuckin free," if you're a cute girl, would you mind emailing me some nude pictures of yourself? i need them for biology class. thanks!
  
  but a good 2/3rds of this album is redneck hard rock crap and atrocious, beyond-cliched ballads for homecoming dances that would never in a million years play a bad company song. especially in 1995, for crying out loud! maybe back in the days of bad english and the beach boys' "kokomo," but 1995? 4-year-old kids were shooting up their nursery schools in 1995! you think they're gonna listen to a song called "loving you out loud" without beating the shit out of some old blowhard?
  
  speaking of "blowhard," if you're a cute girl, would you mind emailing me some naked pictures of yourself? i need them for masturbating in biology class. thanks!
  
  (obviously i'm kidding. i haven't taken a biology class in 11 years!)
  
  (but do send the pictures. i need them for biology class. thanks!)
