One has to ...

... Have reached a certain musical maturity and composure to play as status quo here its really well-known popular songs in so a new look. Who has not geschwoft to "Rockin 'All Over The World" at parties and mitgegrölt the chorus enthusiastically? ;-)
Status Quo dares the leap into fairly deep, and said beforehand that succeeded.
Away from the typical Telecaster boogie sounds come here, after all, a drum kit and the bass is still trying acoustic guitars, piano, ukulele, mandolin and often a cheerful accordion used. The mixture fits in almost all cases, it grooves largely also decent (Anspieltips: Rockin 'All Over The World, Caroline, Whatever you want, Burning bridges). Only the strings sound in the "Pictures of Matchstick Men" and "Rock til you drop" irritated then something. These are then together with "Rock'n Roll" just the pieces that come along but a bit anemic because the transformation has gone not so lucky.
What definitely is good - the singing. The can's not only from loud background ...
