After the unfocused but commercially successful "Ain't Complaining" came this 1989 effort, commercially unsuccessful but more in character. "Perfect Remedy" is one of Quo's least known albums and scored just one minor hit but it features several fine rock songs that suggest the band were shaking off their previous pop foibles. There are however four songs here that prove they hadn't completely cured the tendency.
"Address Book" and "Going Down For The First Time" are from Francis Rossi's melodic country rock muse, while "Tommy's In Love" and "1000 Years" are soapy ballads. The other eight tracks are a pretty strong collection though. "The Power Of Rock" is an anthemic track that builds, drawing you in through gradual twists and an increasing tempo and volume. "Little Dreamer", "Not At All" and "Perfect Remedy" all hark back to earlier glories. "Heart On Hold", with its arresting harmonies, sounds more like the type of track you'd get from an American rock band as do "The Way I Am" and "Man Overboard". "Throw Her A Line" meanwhile bears a partial resemblance to Roxy Music's "Virginia Plain", though not enough to draw a lawsuit.
Francis Rossi later remarked that recording to click tracks didn't exactly enliven Quo's sound. Certainly, Quo are one of those bands whose music hasn't benefited from the digital age. We're not likely to hear another album with the animal excitement of "Piledriver", but here at least Quo are for the most part convincing. They even manage to accommodate the keyboards without them being too intrusive, unlike on the previous three albums. ~Amazon
