Let's start with the masterpiece that is a little bit of rock history and then some. My favorite Q album of all times.
I never get tired of this album. I remember when it first came out. Allot of people were shaking there little stupid heads and didnt quite get it at first. This was not the Quatro style we were so used to.. This was so different in so many ways. Me myself was only 13 or 14 when it came out and i remember that i was a little bit shocked at first. What the hell were all those saxes about and where was the scream
?
O yeah there was a scream at the end of Michael. AHHH thank God for that. At that age i loved to hear Suzi's speed ed up voice and the screams. I was actually learning myself to scream like her too lol )))
Never quite made it thou hehe......
But man this album has grown on me by the years.. Every time i listen to it. I hear something new...
Well this is the bible of rock to me and here it goes track by track................................
1. I bit off more than i could chew.......
Wow what a way to open a album... It reminds me of a train without a driver. The rhythm & soul to this is outstanding and the lyrics are so familiar to us all.... This track is my second favorite Suzi track and it moves my body every time i hear it.
Excellent.
2. Strip me...............
This should clearly have been a single. Funky funky funky !!!!
SO STRIP MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!!!!!
Jesus this track is ready for the light of day so to speak.
What an outstanding and so ahead of it's time song/track...
Brilliant lyrics again and Suzi is sexy, fierce and raw....
Why was this not a single
3. Paralysed................................
hehe when i was young i didnt quite understand this song lol.... But yet it is a funky number and i just love it today...
4. Prisoner of your imagination..................
This song always takes me by surprise, still today. Suzi sings this with a velvet sexy voice. Late last night i was dreaming ta ta ta the guitar on this is great... Again the lyrics are very good and the song is great to listen to. But this is what i call a you gotta listen song, because it has so many elements in it. You don't wanna miss a thing.
5. Your mamma won't like me....................
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
What more can you ask for in a song
This track is rock history itself. I remember it was # 1 in Norway for a long time. Suzi was HUGE in Norway at the moment ( still is ) and TV was making a special about her. Your mamma won't like me got allot of attention, both on TV, Radio and the disco's, not to mention the newspapers.
All talking about Suzi is now singing like she wears fur and diamonds hahaha.........
Back then it was a big change and a risk to come out with this. Being so different from what we were used to...
But man was it ever worth it ??
OH YEAH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your mamma won't like me is a killer track both on record and especially live. The aggressiveness and bass in this song the sexy lyrics and A A A and nananananana your mamma won't like me. Is today a real classic Suzi Quatro song.
I can't say it enough how much i love this song.
Thank you Suzi )))))
6. Can't trust love
Well we all know that by now hahahaha !!!!
Love the song, love the way Suzi sings it.
I wish she would do it live once.
Didn't get it when it came out, but boy do i ever today ))
7. New day women
I used to sing this song all the time. I love this song and it is still amongst my favorites today. This song should get much more attention than it got. This is in my opinion one of the best Suzi songs ever. It is different it stands out and it's just so up to date still today. Yes i love this song......
8. Fever.....................................
Hahahaha every time i listen to this song i think about little Cherie Currie trying out for the lead vocalist in The Runaways. They told her to learn one of Suzi's songs and Cherie picked Fever lol.........................
Ahhhhh that's sweet thou lol............................
9. You can make me want you........................
O YEAH you can )))))))))))))
This killer track caused allot of discussion amongst the lesbians i remember )) Was she really singing about a girl ?? Yeah she is and bla bla bla hahahahahaha )))
The lyrics is are fantastic and the song is one of the best ever written by Suzi....... The track is bombastic and this is the bomb live.
You see songs like this makes this album rock history....
One of the 4 best songs on the album.....
10. Michael...........................
One of Suzi's best ballads ever. It is touching and heartbreaking when it builds up to the end with the scream and Suzi screaming out MICHAEL..........
This song is also single material in my humble opinion.
A classic Suzi Quatro song and a perfect way to close this masterpiece of an album.........
If you don't have this album yet, go out do yourself a favor and get it. It is a must, and you can get it on Amazon and EBay.
