Description:

Recording information: Birmingham N.E.C.
It can be (and often is) argued that Status Quo entered the 1980s as little more than a parody of the l`il ol` boogie band from Butlins that once so-dominated the U.K. charts. "Rocking All Over the World," almost five-years-earlier, was the peak of their endeavors; everything since then was little more than a parody (at best), or a warmed-up revival (at most). 1+9+8+2 didn`t alter that dour scenario. Dominated by a relatively sincere recounting of "I Love Rock and Roll," and the "Dear John" single that became the band`s umpteenth hit (and umpteenth soundalike), it rattles along inoffensively enough, but you cannot compare it with any of the band`s greatest triumphs -- just one more album from the band that`s been going forever, and if it`s already a part of your Quo collection, betcha don`t play it too often! ~ Dave Thompson
