FAT. That's what this album is. Big n' fat. Unashamedly so. And that's why it's so good. It's not just the album, the songs and the guitars that are fat. The band are fat too. There they are on the back cover: fat, hairy, sweaty and kicking it live on stage.Very much like with Steve Miller, BTO is cursed for having timeless classics which have become overplayed. So even though both Roll On Down The Highway and You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet are on here, the real excitement comes from pretty much every other track on offer, which are heavier and less commercially polished.
Crack open a beer, undo the button on your jeans, let your gut hang out and jive along to the greasy, heavy stomp of Not Fragile.
