Another (TOO many times) overlooked Slade classic.

"This album is a MUST for any serious music fan to have in their collection. It is a slight departure from some of their more well known stuff, but, it`s STILL Slade.This is a WELL crafted album and tracks like `How Does It Feel` - `So Far, So good` - `Far Far Away` are finally being recognised as the Classic`s they ARE and all the tunes on this album are good.I have been a Slade fan since the age of 10!, but, in all honesty... now (39) and for many years I can really hear a lot of things I did not in all those younger years - I should add I like a LOT of music and this IS an unbiased and honest opinion.Buy now!... SERIOUSLY... I will be very surprised if ANY true music fan would be disappointed with this album."
One of the best of all their rest !!

"Absolutely, this album / cd is one of Slade's best pieces of work.Even today at age 41, I still bring out the old Slade tunes and remember the past. Yes ! these guys were on the scene way before Kiss, Aerosmith and some of the other great groups, but Slade was the most original. I would tell everyone to buy this album first, then get their other albums from the beginning. Excellent !Frank Jr.

"These guys were beltin' it and glitterin' it long before Kiss, Aerosmith and other American groups. I have the lp and quite a few other Slade lp's - they're priceless! You wanna rock - get this lp/cd! Great stuff! HOW DOES IT FEEL!"
Slade - of course!

"Slade is a party rock band that critics never liked. I can't decide if the guys in Slade had a good time during the 1970's but it sure as hell sounds like they were. But be aware that maybe this record is the bands most "serious" release. Outstanding songs are "How does it feel?", "So far, so good" and "Far away" - three of Slade's best songs ever! Almost every Slade album has its share of top quality songs. It's hard to choose the very best studio album but "In flames" should be included in the top 4 together with "Old, new, borrowed and blue", "Nobody's fool" and "Whatever happened to Slade?"My suggestion is that you start with "In flame" and if you like it - go ahead and buy all the rest..."
