5.0 out of 5 stars Suprizingly good cd this, January 7, 2007

Status quo broke up in 1984 and released their End Of The Road video.
2 years later they decided to reform without their bass player Alan Lancaster.I was dubious about getting this album but i thought what the hell.I wasnt into the modern scene.
I was so suprized at what a good cd this was.Some of the songs here i kept playing over and over such as In Your Eyes,Save Me ,Red Sky and the supurb Overdose,man i love that song.
I could name all the songs as sensational here,Speechless is also a brilliant song as well as the title track In The Army Now.
Invitation is a slower song but even thats damn good.
Dreamin' ,Rollin' Home ,and Calling are also top songs,now lets play this cd again!!!!
This whole cd is fantastic from start to finish.Most people seemed to think they were past it at the time and did not give this cd a fair go.
I have alot of Quo albums and cds and this is definitly one of my favorites.
If you give this cd a go you wont be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Symbol of the era, August 1, 2003

This review is from: In the Army Now (Audio CD)

Status Quo at that point was more of an institution and show-business machine than a hot and ground-breaking rock'n'roll pioneers, but the title track, You're In The Army Now, epitomized the late eighties as much as any tune released around that time.

The record brings back memories of spectacular, breath-taking Status Quo shows of the period, the reflection of late eighties decadence with yuppies and red 3-series BMWs, all that thing. May sound a little bit naive now - but there is nothing wrong with that.

Strong melody fibre, energetic and uplifting rhytm and strong vocals - all the hallmarks of the bygone era of polished eighties rock are there, which makes the album worth buying.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great album, July 12, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: In the Army Now (Audio CD)

This is one of the best Status Quo albums ever. It includes a variety of great songs, such as "Dreamin'", "Rollin' Home" and the brilliant hit single "In the Army now". Highly recommended.
