Best song - Bad Company One for karaoke - Bad Company One for a run - Rocksteady Alright. Moving On got me good because I could only think of Vic and Bob covering it.
Yawn
Prima album
Listened to on 9/7/22 3.5/5 Favorite song: bad company, can’t get enough I enjoyed this album - it was really easy to listen to and some of the songs were really upbeat but no standouts
Between a 3 and 4 for me. It was fine overall.
Sure, it's direct and clean, but also sounds a bit light and tinny, doesn't it? Maybe even tame. Rodgers' voice frays noticeably on "Rock Steady," undercutting the promise of the title. Takeaway: people in the '70s would buy anything sold to them, musically. This feels like testament to the dodgy taste of mid-'70s rock and roll simpletons, of which there were clearly many. "Don't Let Me Down" is homogeniety itself -- beat and rhythms, solo and vocals (but no doubt would sound great if one were waving a lighter about in one of that benighted era's acoustically unsound arenas) and not even close to John Lennon's tune (of which this seems a half-cover). "Movin On" is okay but far from compensates from many other faults (the unconvincing faux drama of the title cut –– "ooh, we're shaking in our boots, you're so bad!" –– and the silly paean to "Seagull").
Basic British Rock band, kinda bland
Honestly, this is just a cool album. I'm not sure if it was groundbreaking at the time because I lack a lot of context for what was happening in the sort of straightforward rock groups at this time. Certainly, this sound is present in a lot of 70s groups, but I'm not sure if it originated before Bad Company (it's blues rock, so...probably). However, it's a groovy album with a bunch of hits 4/5
Unimpressive, it’s very mellow, it has a couple good songs but nothing that gives you an overly impressed feeling. Expected more. Sounds like a live band at Loretta’s Last Call at times.
Enjoyable but very standard classic rock album. Not sure just sounds all a bit polished to me, big Dad rock vibes.
Will my kids look back on Pearl Jam, Nirvana, etc. and think of that as "dad music" like I do with this crap? I mean, my dad had good taste! He got me into Zeppelin, Sabbath, Creedence! Why did he think this garbage was worth his time? Guess it's something to talk about at Christmas this year...
horrendous utter garbage 2/10
Some serious radio hits along with a bunch of decent 70s hard rock. I liked it.
No frills classic rock. Foundational, but also somewhat mundane.
Powerfully simple Easy to listen to but not much worth remembering
Decent dad music
Carefully calculated and thoroughly sanitized rock. A set of radio fillers with decent riffs and annoying vocals. Generic hard rock for malls.
An amazing piece of music overall. Has the right amount of distortion to musicality with a good voice to boot. Every song is very well done and mixed.
I enjoyed this album. My favorite songs were Rock Steady and The Way I Choose. I feel like I have to be in the right mood for this style of music, but when I am, it hits the spot.
Decent album but somewhat forgettable. I'm starting to see the British influence on the list. Best Songs: Bad Company Worst Songs: Movin' On
me gustó!!! pero un toque no es mi estilo jeje, mis temas favs fueron the way i choose (me encantó) y seagull. del 1 al 10 le doy 7.5
If Bad Company, Seagull and Ready For Love weren't on here, this would be chucked into the abyss of bland rock albums.
Lief ganz eingängig runter. Kaum gemerkt, als die Platte zu Ende war und Spotify automatisch etwas ähnliches gespielt hat. Hat nicht gestört, werde aber auch nicht explizit nochmal nach suchen.
sucks
cool
One hit wonder with a few other decent tunes. I get why it's on this list, but it's not going to make my list of essentials. Best track: Bad Company
Kanskje en smule harry. Litt sånn mimring på fotballpuben.
124 på dusinet
kjedelig
Very solid rock album with elements of soul and blues.
Some fun songs. They're never in the top 5 or 10 bands I think of when I think classic rock, but they could be.
It was okay but I don't remember any standout tracks.
Yet another album that is *not* one you must hear. Seagull is a fucking terrible song.
Eh. Clean sounding well produced classic rock album. Nothing that stands out with "wow" factor for me with any specific song. 3/5
I liked this album.
Great finding. I liked this album. Rock, hard rock, ballads, etc. It has a little bit of everything, very well executed.
Warm slice of apple pie 29/07/22
dull
Couple songs I’d relisten to maybe
It was ok. I understand the genre, and the time this was released, it just doesn't seem to hold up as well as some of the others.
Easy, good quality classic rock.
Not quite sure what I think of this. A little bit overblown - despite not even being 35 minutes long, each of the tracks felt a bit longer than they needed to be. That said, other than that there's nothing bad about it, but there's not really anything that makes it stand out either. A bog standard, middle of the road 3 for me, Clive.
I came into this with pretty much no knowledge of this band. Turns out Bad Company is pretty unforgettable rock. For an album described as “hard rock” there was very little hard rock to be found. What was here instead was pretty run of the mill 70s rock and a surprisingly consistent Beatles derivations. This isn’t a bad album - just a very boring one.
Fine... not really my cup of tea, but it wasn't objectionable or anything.
Fantastic album beginning to end.
Den Titelsong kannte ich vorher, der sticht unter dem Mittelmaß auf dieser LP auch hervor. Gerade so 3 Sterne.
This is an amazing album. I may be biased because this was the first album I ever listened to when I was a kid, but it’s just great listening.
Bad company, Hey, they weren't so bad.
Classic rock just the way I don't like it.
Never listened to Bad Company before. They do the job competently.
Not too shabby - only 8 songs, so even if you don't get along with it, it's not for long.
Middle of the road dad rock but its not the worst
I enjoyed just about every song on this self titled Bad Company album. Would give a listen again!
Solid
More like Subpar Group, am I right? Their hits are ubiquitous, and some, like "Feel Like Making Love" are classics. But they are what Bill Murray might call a medium talent. Bad Company is fine, this album is decent but nothing spectacular. If you were seeding classic rock bands like the NCAA Basketball Tournament, Bad Company would be something like a 14 seed. But hey, at least they'd make the tournament.
Pretty generic sounding hard rock. Enjoyed the record, but don't think I will be coming back to it
Some good tracks but not one from that era that I would have on heavy rotation
Nice
Another 3. It’s like not bad but just palpably samey to the other rock of the day
“vapid midcentury rock”
Solid 70s rock record. Great bluesy sounds and some big hits that I'd never heard in the context of the album.
Me pareció equis, no suena mal per es ese rockcillo viejo que las canciones duran una eternidad y so todas iguales.
Sounds like Free. Wiki's. Has same singer. Blues rock... solid...not really engaged with it. Bit showy and uneventful. Prob sounds better going down the motorway. Maybe not. 3
A couple of classics mixed in with some dated fillers.
I was never really into '70s guitar rock, so Bad Company was never really on my radar, although I certainly recognize a number of tracks from this album just from hearing them over the years. I liked this well enough. It was short, so I listened four times today and enjoyed it just fine. The Apple Music description ("the definition of no-nonsense '70s hard rock") is fairly apt, though maybe less on the hard side than I imagined.
Although I may have seen this band in concert in my younger years, but I don't think that I was ever a fan. Listening now, I am totally puzzled as to why. This album was simply awesome!
Huh. If you'd asked me yesterday if I'd ever gone through a Bad Company phase, I would've said, no. But as soon as I saw the track listing of this album, I remembered owning this on cassette. And a quick perusal of their album covers made me remember I had at least two others. So, I guess I had a bit of a Bad Co. phase and I forgot! Anyway, this album is great! When I think of Classic Rock, this is exactly what I'm thinking. While I love just about every song on here, my two favorites are the gentle ballads Don't Let Me Down and Seagull. It's so great to hear them again! Thanks so much for jogging my memory, 1001!
I was exposed to this in my youth through my sister's record collection, but I wasn't terribly attracted to it then. Back then I would listen to "Can't Get Enough" but generally didn't listen long too much after that. It felt too "grown up" for me. I guess I'm grown up now, because I really love all of this. Very well done 70s rock that makes me feel like the cool kid I always wanted to be. I loved sitting back with the lights low and chilling out to this album. Definitely has earned a place in my permanent rotation.
Til the day i die
I dig it
I don't like this as much as I used to, but still a classic.
legal, na manha e pa
I think if you ranked every rock song from best to worst, then selected the middle 35 minutes you'd get this album. Basic lyrics, occasional good riff. Album was saved by the vocals.
Good classic rock
Nice rock album
Bad Company by Bad Company from the album Bad Company
BLUUUUEEEEESSSSSS RROOOOOOCCCCCCKKKK. Bad Company is at its best when they stretch out their songwriting chops and get a little more ballady. And hey if blues rock is up your alley then these guys are what you want. if not, boy you are in for a long time. Crazy thing is they were english, even though I associate them with the Southern Rock sub genre. This is an album for divorced uncles.
Kinda Zoned out while listening
Much better than expected. Solid classic rock
Paul Rodgers is my absolute, number one, most favorite voice of all time. He can do no wrong. That is all.
I was so innocent when this album came out. Everyone was their own kind of 70s bad ass bad company. 50 years later still a good listen but I understand the vast difference between thinking you are a bad ass and actually being one. Mea culpa
This is ass. Okay, the title track isn't that bad but everything else is. Gross blues rock bullshit. I can't stand this type of rock.
Ja degelijk, prima om te luisteren maar meer ook niet.
Bad Company is vervelend gezelschap in bange muzikale dagen...
Ook best leuk voor een keer, maar wel erg braaf en gedateerd.
Ik moet zeggen dat ik dit toch best kan waarderen. Zal mede komen voordat er vroeger thuis vaak Arrow Classic Rock op de radio aanstond.
Hetzelfde commentaar als gisteren.
Some of the most classic of rock
My favorite rock song on Bad Company by Bad Company is Bad Company (Bad Company version). But really this album rules.
Pretty good, nothing special
My favourite track is Bad Company, from the album Bad Company, by the band Bad Company.
Never herd of this group so it may be interesting… The album starts with can’t get enough, I mean it’s alright to be fair it’s just a generic rock song. No real hate towards it though. Rock steady is still generic as fuck but it has nicer guitar works so that’s a plus. Man this album is so bland yet listenable, ready for love has it’s moments on the instrumental department but just feels like a song that’s only in it for the pay cheque. Don’t let me down at least provides a nice pace change it’s actually a really nice piano track great closer for side one especially for this album. Then the band/ albums title track ( bad company) all of the elements of the song are interesting but it’s just like so many bands have done songs like this before so it’s just not the best. Then is the way I choose it’s okay, very okay just a bit slower than the others going for a kinda romantic feel. It’s alright ( It’s just hard to find ways to describe these songs seeing they’re so mid level). Movin’ on is a nice enough penultimate track, reminds me of can’t get enough but more enjoyable and although it’s not a favourite of all time this one is actually a really fun listen I can’t deny! Seagull makes sense as a closer just a nice acoustic song maybe a favourite but just because it’s so different to the rest of the album. 5 really generic songs, a good song halfway then two good ones at the end I must say not my favourite album. Only 8 tracks lasting 35 minutes from a group who have all had musical experience being a supergroup, doing nothing special sounding like they’re only in it for the money. If you like that then okay. Ps. I didn’t hate it it’s just generic, not unique enough to be a 4 not horrendous enough to be a 2.
There are a couple of great songs on here ("Bad Company" above everything else) but it's mostly surprisingly mediocre.
The album Bad Company by the band Bad Company featuring the hit single Bad Company. The irony? You're in pretty good company on this album.
Classic 70s AM radio!
classic
If you had to come up with a reference album for 70s rock it would be this - a bit heavy, a bit hard, a bit FM. All tunes, but without a shred of originality. Guess that's what you get when you mix Free, King Crimson and Mott The Hoople. 1 and 1 and 1 make 3 here.
A favourite from back in the day that hasn't been on my radar for decades. It's held up way better than I thought it would.
Enjoyed this one. Again, never heard it before but it was a nice slice of 70s rock that I'll visit again.
Planet Rock!
Avec des écouteurs, le production est superbe et c'est là que j'apprécie plus l'album. Il y a des subtilités qui sont mieux perceptibles et qui améliorent les chansons. Par contre, je trouve que ça fini par devenir long. Il y a plusieurs balades. J'y reviendrai peut-être à l'occasion, mais ce n'est pas un essentiel.
Bland, meat and potatoes classic rock. Uninteresting if inoffensive.
Plain rock music. Not bad.
ULTIMATE DAD ROCK, I surprised myself because I enjoyed itn
Sorry, I tried. I really, really tried. But Bad Company does nothing for me, and this album as a whole did not even interest me enough to make me want to write a full-blown review. It's not even that it's bad (sometimes it's interesting to explain *why* you think a record is not for you). It's just that, apart from very, very rare highlights here and there, the music on "Bad Company" is neither groundbreaking nor particularly well written. Lyrics are fine, with some striking one-liners here and there. Yet most of the compositions are just too linear and predictable to seal the deal for me. They simply don't make me feel anything. I always try to keep an open mind, but clearly, I don't see what the fuss is all about here. What we have is more than competent musicianship, of course, even talent. But if you want to select a list of 1001 albums you should absolutely listen to, there are probably twice as many albums worthier of your time out there. Life's too short to waste it on stuff you consider bland. My loss, maybe. But that's the way it is for me. Number of albums left to review or just listen to: more than 900, I've temporarily lost count here Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: approximately a half so far Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: a quarter Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): the last quarter (including this one)
Excellent listen
I loved listening to this! Groundbreaking!? No… But SO MUCH FUN! I have a soft spot for 70’s rock, mostly always what my dad had on the radio.
Makes me want to find a dive bar with a jukebox.
Listened while working and just can’t imagine listening in a more direct and attentive way.
Lol. OMG! Why is this on the list?! I know this album well. I've listened to it a few times, and I weirdly like the simplicity. However, the arrangements are simple, the singing isn't exceptional. But my biggest criticism is that the lyrics are terrible, and possibly the most basic lyrics of all time. If feels like they wrote this album just to make tons of money and get laid. The cheese factor is high with this album! Is it on the list because it was popular in the 70s? Ugh. And yet...I know the lyrics to some of the songs. I would 100% sing the song Bad Company in karaoke. Never mind, maybe they are geniuses... Story time: I worked at a record store while in college, and I heard this album for the first time when someone put it on in the store. The song Bad Company came on and I ask who the band was, and someone said Bad Company. And my co-worker said "you've never heard of Bad Company" and obviously I hadn't. I asked the name of the album and they said Bad Company...thought it was very funny (and still do) that we were listening to the song Bad Company, by Bad Company on the Bad Company album. How creative and original is this band?
Fun enough. You basically get the whole point of the songs by reading the titles :) Doesn't seem to break new ground or do anything unique, but it's very solid blues rock I'd be proud to have on any party playlist. Definitely deserves a spot on this list for the supergroup aspect. The fun they have doing this stuff with other vets definitely comes through.
I got more than enough from The first few songs. Bloated 70s rock with no discernible tune. Not my thing at all.
I wanted to really dislike it. I'd written it off as mid-70's plodding turgid rock before I even gave it a listen. I thought I wouldn't last longer than five minutes. This is the very reason why we needed punk so desperately. But it's actually half decent. If I drove a car I can imagine putting my foot down to some of the tracks. But I ride a bike and have more soul and reggae as part of my infernal movement. But yeah, it's alright.
This is an album I’m familiar with but had never listened to fully. With that being said, I feel like I have at least heard each song on this album at least once at some point in my life. No misses and a classic in classic rock
Classic straight ahead old timey rock music. Good times!
Love this album
7th April 2022 Listened on the way into the office. Went home after work (skipped Douggie’s birthday) and got ready to fly to the states. But dad rocky but liked the bluesy riffs. 2.5 if I could. Not very memorable.
Rock clásico bien elaborado, con buenos acordes y buena voz.
A decent rock album
Boomer rock.
I like this - easy classic rock vibes.
Classic rock is classic.
I recognized more of these than I expected to. "Can't Get Enough" is catchy, so is "Rock Steady" but there's a - I don't know - brainlessness to the music that grates on me. If it was on in the background I wouldn't mind but listening closely to it get irritating.
Listening to this is like eating cereal for dinner.
I got nothing. Didn't do anything for me but it's fine.
Never heard of bad company but this is some great 70’s rock. All songs have a great sound, solid album! Favourite songs: - Can’t get enough - Ready for love

Piacevole, non che mi abbia fatto innamorare, però ben strutturato.
surpreendeu
supergrupo memo
Interesantno, mislio sam da će ovaj album biti žešći, ali eto, iznenadio sam se koliko je zapravo laganica. Nea to veze kod mene, ali mi nije album nešta poseban, iako je cover od Beatlesa zanimljiv.
Nije mi baš uhvatio pažnju iskreno
Very simple song structures and lyrics. Some parts of the album are very laid-back, which I like.
Good bit of rock
Sounds very much Cream (not suprising considering as it had members from that group). This is the warm feeling of early 70s rock. Not taxing and good for a late night session. There's a bit of Sax in there too.
“Can’t Get Enough” will always make me think of Christopher Walken dancing in Wayne’s World 2 and for that I am grateful.
Decent album.
On the plus side the vocals are decent and there's some good guitar playing. On the downside the songs are dull, the arrangements plod and it's basically generic blues-rock. It's not bad but it's not particularly exciting to listen to either (they probably sounded good live).
Not my thing
Thought it was a covers band but it wasn't
Rather dull, competent.ploddimg
I got all excited when I glanced at this album, because I love Bad Manners. Such disappointment! I get that this was probably ahead of the curve with a lot of blues rock, but I feel like it probably inspired a lot of middle of the road mid eighties crud, so that's not a good thing.
It's funny, I knew some of the songs, but had no idea they were by Bad Company.
Predictable, plodding classic rock. This guy is ready for love.
Perfect music for the background when you are having a few tinnies with your mates.
Lot of good classic songs. Worth repeating
Nothing special, just some good but bland blues rock.
Ihan tämmöstä chilliä 70-l rokkia. Vähän liian kansas-tieriä kyllä. Ei mitenkään ihmeellinen.
Undistinguished. I guess one had to be there to get it.
If you’re a fan of impeccably played American blues guitar rock (played by Brits no less) in the image of Boston, Journey, The Black Crowes and other such similar bands (who incidentally probably all owe a debt to Bad Company for inspiring their sound and style), then you’ll love this.
I enjoyed this. They were a great band. Their greatest hits would score higher but a solid 3* ( possibly even 4 ?)
Classic Dad rock. Enjoyable for what it was...
Peak dad rock
What an incredibly boring album to come from a "supergroup." The title track is ok, but the only really good song off this is just a rerecorded Mott the Hoople track. This feels like a prototype for Bon Jovi - which is not a good thing.
CD
Solid classic rock. 3.75
Bad Company had some solid jams, didn't they? Remind me. They were a good to very good band that stayed within the narrow confines of lowbrow hard rock. Still a good album. (6/10) FT: Can't Get Enough, Bad Company
Just good old fashioned 70s rock. Every song on this album is a banger.
Generic, better than competent, early 1970s hard rock. It's got a bit of boogie, it's got a bit of rock. Singles are fun enough. But all I can think about is Stillwater from Almost Famous. A competent band, struggling to make it in the big time (and I know Bad Company sold a metric shit-ton of records, and filled stadiums for most of the decade). But, really, is this really groundbreaking or historically noteworthy in any way?
A classic from my high school days
Quintessential Bad Company- a very good album that I’d listen to again
It's not Boston's first album, but it's got hits. Short, enjoyable.
*I already got this album before I joined the current group, so this review reflects my updated feelings.* Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Ready for Love Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Just as average as the first time I heard it. Don't get in the slightest what the big deal about this album is. Ready for Love was good, but turns out that was the only one not written by the band during these sessions, which checks out cus I didn't really enjoy the rest of these songs. M-I-D.
entertaining classic rock album
Okay
A benchmark Hard Rock album, beautifully simple and direct
Good rock, good stuff
Alright album, would say apart from "Bad Company" it's a fairly average. I also personally think there are covers better than the original of "Bad Company".
Bem bom.
Meh
Fed rock og en stærk start på lækkert album. 4 stjerner
Tomato soup and a grilled cheese. Tools. A Friday night High School football game. Ah, Bad Company. Who pose such philosophical queries as ‘… wondering where my life is leading…’ and what ‘… keeps me from fading away,’ only to offer the answer: fucking. Which happened to be mostly what I was thinking about too, at 15, when this LP was released. No less than five out of the eight tracks on 'Bad Company' are about fucking, if you count ‘Movin’ On,’ which is technically about the stereotypical rock n’ roll nomadic lifestyle; but, fucking is certainly implied. Similarly on the title track, using the outlaw motif so popular to rockers. The final track was a bit confusing, in this context- a seagull flying free, until somebody shoots it down? I assume Paul Rodgers is really writing about himself, but I’m not sure what any of this has to do with fucking, so it shouldn’t even be on this L.P. ‘Movin’ On’ should have been the more obvious closer. With the exception of a couple of the hits repeatedly broadcast on the oldies radio station, I haven’t listened to the entire LP in quite a while. And over these many years since high school, I had forgotten two things about 'Bad Company': firstly, how many great hits it actually contained- ‘I Can’t Get Enough Of Your Love,’ ‘Rock Steady,’ ‘Ready For Love,’ ‘Bad Company,’ ‘Movin’ On.’ And secondly, how absolutely forgettable the other three clunkers are, numbers that you take advantage of, during the concert, to scoot to the bathroom before the next hit when the boys return with that particular rich, crunchy mid-70s sound for which bands like Bad Company are known and loved. The comfort food of rock. If I’m not mistaken, I believe the kids today have labelled this Dad rock. I wouldn’t disagree. This is Dad rock, and certainly not Mom. Or more accurately, Man rock. And not Millennial man, not hipster man. 70’s man, who takes ‘whatever I want, and baby I want you!’ (A disturbing and frightening thought, if taken literally.) Best experienced with a cheap, cold beer in hand, a cigarette dangling from your bottom lip, and a growing pain underneath your leather pants. So, I’m speaking exclusively to the fellas here: If you’re not ready for love (or at least aroused) by the time this one’s over, then you might be suffering from low testosterone, easily remedied by prescribed medication.
This was one of my favourite albums and I loved listening to it again.
Only a few tracks here (mainly the title) stand out from a background of droll, almost muted songs that lack in originality and verve.
Wow! Forgot how great this album and this band are!
All I hear is Tom Scharpling hanging up on boring callers.
Was already in my other list.
Muy buena ondita y don't let down roll on 3
Me sentí en un bar de covers.
Pretty straightforward.
A whole album of solid if unmemorable bluesy/boogie/classic rock, the title track being a huge standout. I actually really liked both that song and the Five Finger Death Punch cover when I was a kid, and after listening to this I went back and listened to that. Woof! That song sucks!
straightahead catchy 70s rock. the sound of drinking a Miller Lite in a dive bar with a lot of woodsy accents. Surprised this is a British group since it all feels o Americacore to me 3.5/5
Pretty middle of the road rock, or at least that's how it feels to me. It's alright.
6/10
I was only vaguely aware of this band. Solid 'meat and potatoes' rock
Really rockin'.
Pretty decent blues rock of the era, successor to the group Free. Several amazing radio staples, with my favorites being "Bad Company" and "Ready for Love." It's a highly polished effort with excellent teamwork between the band members. You can tell their #1 influence is The Rolling Stones, evident by the bridges in mood within the tracks and gospel in "Don't Let Me Down." The two weakest tracks were "The Way I Choose" and "Movin On." The closing track "Seagull" sounded very folk-like, and was pleasant.
Solid classic rock album. Really liked that it was short and sweet.
Not my cup of tea, but can appreciate the legacy
It's okay.
Listened to this a fair few times in the car with dad. Pretty solid classic rock album.
Can’t Get Enough, Bad Company, and Seagull already some of my most liked songs. The other tracks were good, but didn’t stand out compared to those 3. Still a good album.
iTunes describes this as “no nonsense 70s hard rock” but I have a hard time believing this was ever HARD rock. Perhaps just a victim of following Metallica in my list, but easy boring songs.
Escuchado hoy 2021, no parece gran cosa
So many good songs
Straightforward 1970s stadium rock. Well done, but seemed somewhat soulless. The vocalist was good.
Leuke rock. Ga ik vaker naar luisteren
Just a really solid classic rock album with some great hits. Very very good.
Good album with good range of tunes
I mean, it sounds like what it is: a rock album from the 70s. It's kind of a slow chug through chunky riffs with rough vocals over top. If that's what you came for, you'll be happy with what you get. Otherwise, it's just kinda meh.
Smells like the 70's
Not a lot of bells and whistles — just a straight up rock album.
Pretty good late 70's rock.
An album full of uninspired daddy rock. Boring and commercial. I despise everything it stands for.
a great early rock record
Responsible for some dad rock I wish I never heard. I’m sure it sits high upon some people’s list that are a fan of blue eyed blues rock and bar rock but it’s not for me. It’s also 50 years old so this sound has become so stale to me I’m an unfair audience.
Didn't get through it all, a bit classic rock for my tastes, reminds me of Genesis a bit
This sounds like a big chunk of my memories of the 70s.
I liked it but it didn't really catch me completely
Lots of songs I recognize. I dig the over-distorted guitar amps, good old school sound.
Bland Company. Short average dad rock. Not bad but not memorable.
I hadn't heard much bad company before. This is like the music rednecks think is best for seduction. But it's missing a sexy voice.
'Boring' is the first word that comes to mind. Perhaps when this album came out, it was a bit more compelling, but listening to it today, there's nothing that really stands out to me.
Decent album but bit inconsistent. The best song is also the name of the band.
Eh, this was fine, but didn't really excite me. I guess it's so foundational to classic rock that it now comes across as generic? Fave track - "Bad Company" which is admittedly the only track I recognized. Maybe with more familiarity I'd grow fonder of the other tracks...
Solid
Solid classic rock album stacked with hits. Surprised by the Southern rock undertones with occasional allman bros vibes. Great composition that usually falls back to a relaxed smooth pace with some solos laced in. Can’t get enough, ready for love, don’t let me down, bad co.
trök
Unexpectedly boring.
Långsam us-lands rock
Shite
Great hard rock album, but it doesn't do too much special. Favorite tracks are Can't Get Enough and Movin' On
one good song
A favorite from the end of my teenage years. Thanks for reminding me.
Excellent album. Solid rock tunes.
Great band, but wrong album again. Straightshooter is easily their best album. But the title track is magnificent and Paul Rodgers has the best voice in rock - one of the few men in history (and almost certainly the only white man) who really belongs in leather trousers.
Hm. Somewhere between Country and Rock? Not my case.
Buen disco, nada espectacular. Cultura general
Paul Rodgers has such a gutsy rock voice, so much so that pretty much anything he sings is worth listening to. But, from a lyrical perspective, he only writes about wanting to fuck. Just said in different words from song to song, album to album, and band to band. Though on this record there is a mellow track about a seagull. Does he want to fuck it? Probably.
Неплохо. Очень неплохо.
Listening to this album made me feel like I should be three pints deep on a pitcher of lager and playing pool in a smoke filled dive-bar. I enjoyed the album from start to finish and plan on putting some Bad Company on in the background at my next backyard BBQ.
A fantastic album with a fantastic track list. Absolutely legendary.
interesting good
Балдеж, на альбоме есть как рок триллеры, так и много лиричнлй музыки, одноименная песня однозначно хит!
Fantastic
not the kind of music I prefer, but pretty solid disk
Wow, this is an exceptional album, just brimming with classics. Six of these songs are classic rock staples and the remaining two are top notch deep tracks. Consider for a moment just how rare that is. There isn't a bad song on here. It's warm, sexy, bluesy rock for the ages. Bad Company are the standard bearers for blues-based rock in the 1970s and 80s. This band and these songs set the bar for how rock would sound for years with countless bands attempting and failing to catch their sound. The band is a murderer’s row of musicians hailing from some really great groups – Free, Mott, King Crimson. This is also probably one of the best executed albums I have ever heard. The compositions are tight, flawless. Not an extraneous note or overly long solo to be found. The band has a steadiness and intensity to their sound without all the showboating some of their peers were prone to. Lyrically, they manage to come off as tough, but with enough sensitivity to pull off a song like "Ready for Love" without sounding silly. Paul Rodgers' warm and soulful vocals are ridiculously good. He really is one of the best rock vocalists ever, and criminally underappreciated. Fave Songs: Rock Steady, Ready for Love, Can't Get Enough, Bad Company
Past the hits; ok. I am not a generous god today. 3.4
What a great 70's hard rock album! Nearly every song is a hit. Favorite Tracks: "Can't Get Enough" "Rock Steady" "Don't Let Me Down" "Bad Company"
While I think Bad Company's titular track is an absolute masterpiece, the rest of the record consists of predictable, bland, and overly radio-friendly generic rock. This ain't it. 2/5.
Classic dad rock, can't fault it.
It was good, pretty standard classic dad-rock. Seemed like a prelude to 80s rock. Doesn't stand out as anything amazing but just good, steady, stay in your lane rock and roll.
Pretty much what you would want from a classic rock album!
Big sound rock band
solid hard rock album with a few standout tracks 7/10
6/10. Glad to see that sometimes people do name a song, an album, and their band all the same thing. Pleasant enough to listen to, but it really slipped into the background a lot.
It's really boring and seems to be the origin point for so many terrible cliches but at least it's short? 4
3/5
Listenable enough but a little paint by numbers.
This was a solid classic rock album. Seems like a cross of like Jackson Browne vocals with a somewhat Boston esque sound, but a little calmer. Some decent tunes but idk why but it didnt really stand out to me.
honestly, that was just boring. i'm sure in its time, it was fine, but...it just conjures visions of budweiser in pull-tab cans, and a bunch of stupid people standing around thinking they're deep. it's possible i'm projecting a little here.
Supergroups. Why are there always supergroups. All of the playing is good, and all of the songs are forgettable. Supergroups always sound way too polished, too over-produced, and too ironed to me. While great bands often feel like like more than the sum of their parts, Bad Company feel like far less. Don't let me Down is shockingly dull.
Pub rock
I feel like I need to talk about this album outside of it's title track. There's a reason this album is an absolute classic as it's a great example of 70's blues rock. There's really not a mediocre song on the album. Favorite Songs: Can't Get Enough, Bad Company
In the 70s this album was considered good. If I was still 14 I might think so, but I'm an adult and it's generic blooze rawk. Awful.
Just very boilerplate hard rock. There are a couple tracks and moments that I enjoy, but the package as a whole is a big snooze.
Good hard rock. I grew up with quite a few of these songs. They’re not terribly innovative but there’s something to be said for their mastery of their style. Paul Rogers is an excellent vocalist
classic, almost too familiar
.
Very solid dad rock album
Very enjoyable listen. Great guitar work - no filler at all. Saved a couple of songs.
Rätt schysst album. Rätt bra gung, men låtar som många andra rockalbum från 70-talet. 3/5. Bästa låtar: Can't Get Enough Rock Steady Don't Let Me Down
Would’ve preferred to give it a 3.5. Rounding down to a 3 instead of up to a 4, keeping in mind that there are definitely going to be some all-time rock albums further down the road.
3.5/5
Good classic rock album. Short and could’ve been longer. Enjoyed the hits and some other tracks were still solid. 7.6/10
Solid. A Smashie & Nice 'Let's Rock' classic for a sunny roadtrip.
Decent bar rock. Don't let me down is a great tune (could do without the sax solo tho). Don't really see why this is in the list instead of, I dunno, in a jungle groove by James Brown.
Good
Why is this something I had to listen to before I died lmao its literally like every other classic rock album
I viscerally hated the repetitiveness the first two times and then I hated it even more and I hate Rock Steady, it is pretentiously long. However, I ended up letting it play as background music when I was chatting with a friend at 12:30 am. So, if you ask me? Decent song/s, first few songs don't work as an album, last few songs are not that great standalone. I would have to be raised in a pub where everyone sang this in a chorus every week for me to love this. I see the potential but majorly underwhelming as a 1001 albums you HAVE to listen to. Plenty albums like this, I feel this was picked for nostalgia, and I won't bash on that. 2+/5 like an iddle widdle plus
Liked the guitar, would've preferred heavier drums. Could've used a bit more variation between tracks; decent vibe music, but quite monotonous as a whole. //Favs: Ready For Love
It's a pretty solid rock album honestly.
Generic 70s rock
It was ok for what it is. Not really my thing. Rocksteady was pretty good.
pretty dece
Cool old school alt rock sound, strong vocal, nice beat, and awesome melodies with occasional rock-style shouting.
loved it.
Route 66 vibes, but got a bit boring towards the end
The definition of 'Meat and 2 Potatoes' rock. Very competent, some good songs, nothing particularly interesting.
Classic rock vibes. Easy to listen to.
Bad company by bad company with the song bad company. For real this was good I like it, I enjoyed the classic vibes of it, title track good and there's a really pretty slow song which is cool
This was definitely an album in heavy heavy rotation in my house during my middle school days - 4 or 5 of these songs were so prominent on radio through the 80s that even if you didn't have the record, you knew most of it. Not much to analyze here - it's prototypical "Classic Rock" with very little wiggle room into anything else, and whether that's a pro or con is (as everything) up to personal taste, but for that quality (limitation?) this is almost as good as it gets. Paul Rodgers is or was *the* classic rock voice of the 70s/early 80s. There's nothing overly creative or experimental in terms of production and that's likely what makes it still work today - guitar/bass/drums and occasional piano/keys. It's also hard not to think of the movie "Almost Famous" when listening to this and also looking at the band (see the cover for "Burnin' Sky" and it seems pretty obvious where the movie writers got inspiration for the controversial t-shirts!) Deserving of an isolated comment is the bass playing of Boz Burrell on this album - to my ears he was the secret weapon on many of these songs, most of which have a simple and potentially dull chord progression but Burrell's fluid lines tied them together brilliantly. In particular check out the work on "Movin' On" Funny that when this came up I smiled but wasn't too excited to revisit it...if I'd written this before playing it again i would have said something like: "...even though I'm unlikely to go out of my way to listen to this again, that's just as much due to my having heard it hundreds of times as changing tastes..." but damn if it hasn't been fun listening to this album again. In the end, for what it is...it really is great from start to finish, and sometimes you just need uncomplicated straight up 70s guitar rock.
Blues rock, wasn't a fan of the voice. Forgettable
Chilled classic rock, nothing too exciting
Used to listen to bad company while playing battlefield bad company 2 in like 2010
Never heard of the band but really enjoyed the album
just average to me, acceptable sound.
bonzinho
its deffo good. something middle aged men love for sure.
great songs I guess I'm not that old.
It was an alright album, a solid entry into the hard rock genre.
classic rock ready for love is pretty good, love the chord progression and the lyrics The songs are good but the sound is very generic. It's from 1974, it was probably new at this time but now it feels just like any classic rock band that your dad listens to. I'd give it a 6/10
оооооо да, это же роккиди-боггиди-диггиди-ролл, прямо как в старые добрые времена! помните, как раньше мы надевали узкие левайсы и жилетки без рукавов, распускали курчавые волосы и отрывались в гаражах и бунгало под эти заводные рокенролл мотивы! наконец-то настоящая музыка, без автотюна, обосранных штанов и н-вордов! лонг лив грейт олд рок-н-ролл! Инстант классик! p.s. рад, что хоть ратников кончил от группы Bad Company — альбома Bad Company — песни Bad Company
Прослушал более 3 раз на Яндекс.Музыке. Постоянно путался на слух поймать момент, когда воспроизведение переход на бонус-диск, но проёбывался и дослушивал до конца и его. Не, ну тупа батя-рок. Вот прям вижу, отец приезжает, говорит: "Жень, можешь мне скачать на телефон, ща... я тут записывал, во... Bad Company". И потом врубает, когда в деревне шашлык мутит, а всякий шансон и ностальгическая муть поднадоела. Да и не худший выбор при этом был бы, приятное внятное музло. Особенно радует факт того, что трек Bad Company коллектива Bad Company находится в альбоме Bad Company, что приближает исполнителя к таким блядоходам рока, как Black Sabbath и Iron Maiden. Да и кроме этого выдающегося качества, трек весьма годен. Как и альбом в целом. Итоговая оценка: свиной шашлычок с кетсупом, чёрным хлебом и помидорками из 10.
The good guitar part in melodies and voice
Не слишком запомнился, но в целом приятный альбом
Very consistent bad. Paul Rodgers is underrated
Um álbum que passou me totalmente ao lado, nem foi bom nem mau, foi totalmente indiferente. Nota:5/10
First time I listened to a Bad Company album in its entirety although I already knew quite a few of the songs. There isn't all too much to say about the album. It's very good, but at the same time it's very standard rock-fare and just not interesting enough for a 5.
Some classic, bog-standard blues rock. I've always felt a little lackluster towards Bad Company to be honest. They just feel so generic.
