Review - :
Almost four years after their last studio album, and two years after {$Francis Rossi} and {$Rick Parfitt} agreed to relaunch the hitherto moribund band, {$Status Quo} bounced back with an album that came as close as Christmas to restating the glories that most fans believed were buried a decade earlier. The title track sets things off in the way they mean to go on, a romping cover of a {$Bolland & Bolland} number that could not have been further from the {$Quo} norm if it had tried. But the band make it its own, and then keep on sparking, through an excellent cover of {$Ian Hunter}'s {&"Speechless,"} on to the hit single {&"Dreamin',"} and peaking with the seething {&"Overdose."} Indeed, no matter how many crimes against their own reputation may have been committed by {$Quo} earlier in the decade, {^In the Army Now} offered salvation and forgiveness all round. And, just for a moment there, it felt like this was one reunion that really was going to improve on its prototype. ~ Dave Thompson, All Music Guide
