This album rocks - love it! Starts off strong with Can’t Get Enough of Your Love. Great album!

Un disco ok

talk of premature ejaculation. this album shot its load with track 1. bang average after that. not offensive just a straight down the middle average. appropriate that we got this album on a wednesday because if the rating system was what day of the week is this album, it would be a wednesday.

Loved this album. It's short and full of good tracks. Pretty standard 70s and 80s rock vibe. Spotify ends up recommending a lot of great music if you start here

I knew more songs than I remember. Good rock album.

I gotta say I was specting more of this one. It's not bad but it's not very good either. Just well produced generic AOR

Surpise! Not hip hop at all! 😂

Saved Prior: None Saved Off Rip: None Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: sounds like a lot of other guitar driven rock, probably inspired a bunch of the stuff i've already heard. Nothing overly good nor overly bad.

Classic with a favourite song

This band just sounds like "classic rock". Does that make sense? I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing or how to explain what I mean, but that's the only thought I have about this album.

The way I choose va lite bra men resten är inte riktigt min smak, lite för rockigt för min smak. 2/5 skulle jag nog säga

Good ol classic rock

great dad album

A pretty bland rock album, really. Nothing terrible but also not very exciting.

I only got through one song, so I really can’t rate this fairly. It sounded like standard 70’s rock

Needs just a little bit more to be a 5 star album. Very very good.

Amazing. Seagull, enough said

Aquí sí paso. No tengo nada que decir. Es música que seguro le gusta a Tony Soprano. Rock clásico gringo. Culerón para mí gusto.

Singer is pretty awesome

Going to play this for my dad to gain street cred with him.

Solid enough rock album, nothing exciting though.

Paul Rogers innit. If he's good enough for Queen he's good enough for me

Enjoyable.

I think this album had so many classics all in one! I don't think this is close to a 5, but still falls in the 4 range. There was nothing too interesting here, but definitely a solid listen.

😒 Not for me, Clive.

Very eh. Content, style, voice, spirit, interest, entertaining. All eh

awesome album. so many memories!

For better or worse, Bad Company’s sounds will always be related to Free. This is largely the fault of the band. They sounds like they’ve all taken a light dosage of Xanax and are trying to write Free-esque songs and play a Zeppelin sound. On the whole, it comes out feeling cumbersomely heavy, slow, and hallow. It strikes me as a poppified version of Free (and it seems they were somewhat successful, given the relative successes of the two bands). The first half of this album is just bad. “Can’t Get Enough” is slow, the guitar is week, the drums barely register. It sounds like Paul Rodgers is trying his damndest to give song energy with his voice alone, but he is failing. The “solo” makes me weep, it is so paltry and powerless. “Rock Steady” and “Ready For Love” sounds like parodies of this genre, as if a band took all the most cliched aspects of this blues-inspired rock and turned them up to 11. Maybe I feel this way because they also just strike me as utterly uncreative. The sax on “Don’t Let Me Down” fucking depresses me. I get viscerally sad when I hear it, and the transition from that sax to the guitar solo makes me lose hope. “Movin’ On” is so repetitive, although the solo is better on this song than any song in the first half. The second half of the albums (sans “Movin’ On”) is a massive improvement. “Seagull” is a really interesting song, Rodgers’ voice immediately hooks me on each listen. The acoustic guitar is perfect accompaniment for his voice on this song. The lyrics are wonderfully cryptic. “The Way I Choose” is also a great song. It builds into the chorus slowly and deliberatively. Also, the effect on Rodgers’ voice (I assume it is just an echo on the mic, either that or some sort of overdubbing) produce this haunting choral sound that is incredible. I could do without the sax at the end, but it is better than “Don’t Let Me Down”. The title track is at the very least interesting. It is the song that does the sort of guitar driven rock that they are so well known for the very best on this album. The piano is pretty nice, a great opening for the song, and the payoff of the heavy sounds feels earned (although, the guitar does feel slightly denuded. The drums sound crisp, though). If it were just the first half of the album, it would be a 2 or even 1 out of 10. With the second half, it is a 3 or a 3.5 out of 10. I wish there was more acoustic on the album and I wish the non-acoustic songs sounded more like the title track.

Surprised how many songs I recognized. Will be likely to put this on more so than most other albums we have listened to

I remember sitting in my dad's old truck fumbling through cassette tapes. He had the all the classics, including Bad Company. Such a great album!

Big fan of the Bad Co. and this is a good album. “Movin’ On” is a lifetime favorite, and a lot of other good tunes here. I really like the soulful bluesyness on this solid Rock n Roll album. Upon listening, my mind wandered immediately to the other Paul Rogers (vocalist) albums I love - anything by Free, the Bad Company “Desolation Angels” LP and his solo blues album covering Muddy Waters - check it all out if you can. Easy 4.

Decent album but not really my thing. Maybe I just wasn’t in the right mood for a bit of classic rock. Preferred it to Supertramp though.

SLAMS!!! The old man has listened to them for years so this was a nice treat.

Blues classic

generous 4

O ile sama nazawe bad company kojarzylem, to nie slyszalem w calosci zadnego ich albumika, a z tego co slyszalem bylem przekonany, ze to banda hamerykanska, a tutaj takie zdziwenie ze to wyspiarze jeszcze z zlotych czasow brytyjskiego rocka, gdy crimsoni jeszcze tworzyli, a zeppeliny byly w szczycie popularnosci, nie dziwne ze przy takiej konkurencji nawet takie dobre grania gdzies przemykaja bokiem, a z tego co patrze na wiki to ich albumiki sprzedawaly sie o wiele lepiej wlasnie w stanach niz na wyspach, ciezko mi wyjasnic czemu, ale jak dla mnie brzmia one wlasnie bardzo hamerykansko, moze z tego wynika ich popularnosc za wielka woda, jest to rokowanie, ale w blusowych klimatach, polaczonych z bardzo gladkimi wokalami, na plejke wrzucam tytulowy bad company oraz movin on

Sonidos agradables, bien producido y remasterizado (supongo?), pero nada más allá de ello, no me emocionó el disco tbh. Mood: momentos genéricos de montaje triste o motivador en una rom-com del siglo pasado.

Fantastic. Classic rock!

Classic album

Hell yeah.

Nothing noteworthy. Way less grit than a group called Bad Company should have.

This album just plain rocks, and still holds up. I don't really have anything else to add.

Venga, le voy a dar un 5

Promising, should listen again

I know these songs. I feel like I could live without hearing this album. It feels like cookie-cutter generic classic rock. They might have helped make the cutter, but I still enjoy this. I guess I might put it on a bit of a cheesy joke.

Bad Company was the best song on the album, Bad Company by the band, Bad Company. Just seems like generic rock music. 5/10.

Nice discoverment

No es un mal álbum, por supuesto, pero pienso que no tiene mucho que se le destaque, que lo haga particularmente bueno. Todo suena bien, pero tan igual que hasta está ese homenaje (quiero pensar) o rip-off? a los Beatles y su "Don't Let Me Down" (quizá y me gustó más esta, de todas formas, jaja). Las canciones que más me gustaron fueron "Ready for Love" y "The Way I Choose", esta última todo suena bien, la voz así medio desgarradora y los instrumentos en su punto. Le doy un 7/10

had radio music feel like i had heard it a bunch but never really heard it

It’s a decent rock album, but just lacks a certain passion and emotion.

Yes! Loved this!

Good, solid hard rock. I See it paving the way for heavier stuff! Song 'bad company' stands out more than everything else. Also I love that this is a supergroup where this band stands out more than any of the earlier bands. I guess Free was big? whatever.

Decent enough hard rock, but nothing stood out to me or grabbed my attention.

Slower than I expected, but not bad

Classic 70s rock album. Every song is good.

HE’LL YEAH BORTHER!!11

That voice!

All that sound that when it comes on the radio I change the channel

Pretty solid classic rock. Short and sweet.

Saw them live opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd. They were better than what Skynyrd has become.

Ok, classic 4/4 rock and some ballads

Eh not bad. But feels pretty repetitive

Realz flyff/4

Enjoyable enough, straight down the middle cheesy 70s rock. Have to give them a shout out for pulling off the trifecta of naming your band "Bad Company", titling your album "Bad Company" and having a song called "Bad Company". Rarefied air: https://www.stereogum.com/928281/20-songs-named-after-the-bands-that-played-them/lists/

Can't say I enjoyed. Pretty drab instrumentally, and the lyrics seem like an attempt to cram as many rock & roll cliches as possible into one album. The only time I got excited was when I thought "Don't let me down" might be a Beatles cover, but instead it was more poo

It's fine for a classic rock album, but nothing special.

This fine album.

Decent classic rock.

Kult enøff, fint å ha i bakgrunn.

Getting some real southern metal vibes here

Fav Song: Seagull

Perfectly fine dad rock. Something to turn on while driving across some barren part of the american countryside late at night.

not so bad=)

Instrumentalt bra, bare litt kjedelig.

Acceptable stuff, nothing very special in my opinion.

Timeless. Feel good music, with some great slow ballads.

Nothing too standout for me, but I enjoyed the title track "Bad Company"!

The album sounds like classic rock radio used to sound when I was a kid. There's a reason for this, I'm sure. Bad Company had obvious influences from Led Zeppelin to Cream to Deep Purple, but they made the sound their own.

Good, solid, earnest, old fashioned dad rock.

I played it many times. I didn't like it. Not one song I could remember. It's not a bad record tho

Not bad but ultimately expected a bit more, no song really stands out or is memorable

Some phenomenal guitar work and some creative lyricism it balances it's ruggedness and tenderness really well.

Definitely some great tracks on here, but unfortunately much of it came across as indistinguishable 70's rock

-Classic rock tunes -What else to say, just a good rock album.

Dull, pointless

okay background music

Toi hymyn huulille ja kuuntelin kahdesti läpi

Bad comapany...til the day I dieeeee

Pretty good

Nice album, not my favorite but something nobody "hates"

If this album doesn’t make you feel like a badass idk what to tell you

Just... super boring. I've only ever heard Bad Company on the radio and nothing ever made me want to listen to a full album. I can only imagine the people who are super, super into this. Possible progenitor of butt rock. Favorite track: "Don't Let Me Down"

The song Bad Company on the album Bad Company by the band Bad Company from the movie Bad Company

my attention span is very short and loads of these songs were too long and sounded the same. it wasn’t awful though.

Better than I expected. Somewhat generic, but still very good. closer to a 3.5

Fairly decent 70s rock. Good sound and highly polished. Never heard anything other than Bad Company's hits, so was nice to hear other B-sides. Favorite was The Way I Choose. Solid album.

Mediocre company I’d say. Carried through by the good bits!

Really good
