Great Fun Pop Psychadelia, December 18, 2006
This review is from: Pictureque Matchstickable Messages (Audio CD)
Of course, you get one of the Top 100 Rock 'n Roll tracks of all time with PICTURES OF MATCHSTICK MEN and while on the surface, many of the other tracks offer echoes of "Matchstick Men," that would be like complaining many of the Ramones tracks sound the same :-)
However, a deeper listen reveals the true pop psychadelia genius of the Status Quo - not only do most the tracks hold up great - they are all great fun - and a showcase of great musicians and great songwriter. While these are museum quality tracks - these are definitely not just historical timepieces but tracks that are just as relevant and fresh today.
This CD definitely belongs in everyone's collection of great rock n' roll.
