The quo are back !

The best quo album for years if not decades !

From the moment you hear the opener you foot is tapping and your head is nodding, the blues and rthythm in you is back beating and rocking!

There is something about this album that makes you go yeah, you can almost feel francis rossi's swagger in his playing.

This album is the first quo album to feature drummer matt lettley, lettley having replaced jeff rich on the drum stool, and has been praised with brining the best out of the rest of the quo boys.

Like most recent quo albums heavy traffic is a colourful affair with its rockers, its pop and its blues.

Stand out tracks would have to be the title track - such a shame it was never released as a single ! as well as creeping up and solid gold, both very much in quos classic 70's spirit.

The oriental is slightly on the political incorrect side of things but never less is now a live favourite thanks to the tight and heavy way it is played.

The album can be seen as a album of two halves with many of the better tracks in the first half however the second half is still the best quo has been for a long time
