5 out of 5 stars Not Fragile Over You.......2007-01-14

This is an anchor album in any classic rock collection. BTO has never duplicated the greatness of this effort.

5 out of 5 stars Pure Thunder.......2006-10-06

A friend gave me this album in 1974 for my 13th birthday. I'd heard Roll On Down the Highway and You Ain't Seen Nothin'Yet on the radio and really liked these songs, but I hadn't heard anything else on the album. I didn't have my own stereo at the time, so I waited until the next day when I got home from school and my parents were still at work to listen to it. I put the record on the turntable of my Dad's stereo (one of those self-contained console furniture looking things), cranked up the volume (it had massive wattage - volume went to 11!)and then proceded to get slammed against the wall by the opening track - Not Fragile. I wasn't expecting this; it was heavy, and all of a sudden, a whole new world of hard rock opened up to me. I still love that song - pure thunder. Sledgehammer also has that "in your face" punch and is also great cranked at full blast. The album as a whole is very strong. Some excellent guitar riffs and leads, some with pop-oriented hooks, some really heavy, and all foot-tappin' rock and roll. The only song I never really got into was "Givin it all away", but that's just my personal thing. I have this album on vinyl and will be getting the CD so I can blow the windows out of my car.

5 out of 5 stars The Perfect Classic Hard Rock Album.......2006-04-13

After a few false starts , Bachman-Turner Overdrive deliver the goods big time! Randy Bachman had been knockin' around different Canadian bands for years. As guitar player for Chad Allen's Arrows he befriends a teenage Neil Young (who's band The Squires usually played the same gigs), buying Neil one of his first Gretsh guitars. Bachman stays with Chad Allen as that band evolves into the Guess Who, pumping out hit after hit after hit.Bachman has always been a very professional musician with chops galore, he bristled at the sloppiness that success and substance abuse brought to his band so he quit. He goes on to form Brave Belt and then Bachman-Turner Bachman until these aggregations finally evolve into Bachman-Turner Overdrive.Their first two LP's contained some very interesting songs along with some songs that seemed premature. However , this , their third album nails the blueprint of rock 'n' roll for all to hear. Perfect from beginning to end , this album shines in ways we had not thought of before. From the opening chords of "Not Fragile" to the jazz stylings of "Rock Is My Life" to the thundering C.F.Turner track "Roll On Down The Highway" , this album promises so much one wonders "can they sustain this?". It does not let up , just continues to snowball , Blair Thornton Trading guitar licks with Bachman in some very tasty left-right channel duels.
Side two of the original LP crushes the competition with the 1-2-3-4 punch of "Sledgehammer" , "Blue Moanin'" , "Second Hand" & "Givin' It All Away". Givin' it all away indeed! This album rocks from beginning to end , brilliant production. One of my all-time favorite rock instrumentals closes out side one , "Freewheelin'" contains a guitar duet worthy of Clapton & Allman. No wonder as it is dedicated to the 'Skydog' himself. The band would never return to these hieghts , some great songs would be in their future , but no more great albums. This was their diamond , and it truly sparkles.

5 out of 5 stars Great music.......2006-02-23

This CD is my husband's favorite band. He had lost the cassette from eons ago and was lamenting not being able to hear it. I knew I could find it at Amazon.com, so I ordered it without telling him it was on the way. He was thrilled!
