One Of The Best

"I had to buy this on CD because I finally wore out the copy I had on vinyl because I played it so much! I feel that "Nobody's Fool" is one of the best songs ever. I used to play this at parties for the people that said they didn't like Slade, and after awhile their leg would be shakin' and their heads would be bobbin' up and down. "

"My big brother Steve turned me and my lumbering friend on to this back in 1977. The album had already been out for some time but not in the usual pop radio circuit. When we played it for the first time we were FLOORED! It is one of the heaviest hitting albums I have ever heard and I still select it out of my collection to be played quite often, and that after 23 years! If you like "pure" Rock & Roll after a true hard rock fashion as opposed to what the Rock Radio stations so love to call "classic" these days, YOU will LOVE this! The voice of Noddy Holder is a powerful force in the landscape of this music and the band backing him up with their cruel SG's are a perfect blend for really Kicking out the Jams! It'll come out of your pores!"
Not the loudest Slade available

"Not a bad album, but if you 're looking for the madness of Slade, this is not the one.Nobody's Fools is more melodic, quiet and even melancholic...no stampin your feet here!
If you're not familiar with Slade and heard they were crazeeee and Noddy was the strongest singer in the world, get "Alive", "Old, new borrowed & blue" or even a "Best of"( "Wall of Hits").Still SLADE is example of good rockin' and partyin'!"
Noddy and the Boyz Rock!

"I once read a review which said that this Slade lp was horrible.
In fact, the reviewer wrote the album Nobody's Fools..."Who says?"...WELL that reviewer was wrong and so were any other doubters of Slade's music and this album. In For a Penny is a powerful song as is the title track. Slade was always known for powerful percussion and caustic vocals - this lp is no exception.Like a previous reviewer wrote - I have worn my lp from constant play - get the cd - cuz its crazee!!!"

"a bit of a strange one this; in my opinion slade were trying too hard to please their american audience (this was recorded during their two-year stint in the u.s.) by toning-down the glam and the rock.even so still one of my faves; you can't fault a good song and jimmy lea has melodies by the bucket load....fave tracks of mine are l.a. jinx and all the world's a stage."
