Well...as someone who has been obsessive about 10cc for some 35 years...this album is one of the few that sneaked quietly into my record collection, had a nice cup of tea then nestled somewhere out of sight for a few years. So is it a forgotten masterpiece...well, no.
10cc's strength - Ok, one of many strengths - lies in the incestuous writing partnerships > and even by this time shorn of Lol Creme and Kevin Godley and with the monuments to everlasting brilliance that were Sheet Music and the Original Soundtrack beind them, Eric Stewart and Grahem Gouldman still had enough legs to knock out Deceptive Bends and Bloody Tourists that yielded more than the odd hit single and masterful song. Then the occasional experiment of letting one of the newer (at the time) members of the group write songs, post break-up with G&C, turned into a torrent on Look Hear and...confirmed what fine writers Eric and Graham are.
This album is not entirely a lost cause ... It doesn't matter at all is a fine 10cc song (written by Eric and Grahem, to prove the point...) and songs like Lovers Anonymous and Dressed to kill deserved to be made ... but 125? Don't send we back? LA inflatables? Boys...what WERE you thinking?
So, if you don't know 10cc...do not start here but for someone with a sense of adventure and a knowledge of how good 10cc were before...and indeed after this (why the masses didn't rush out and acquire "ten out of ten" and "Windows in the jungle" is beyond me!)- worth a punt on this one, methinks.

Much of this album is superficial and instantly forgettable, but there is one stand-out track which ranks alongside anything else they ever did. The track is "I hate to eat alone". Simple yet poignant and beautiful. Every time I hear it I think "I'd forgotten just how brilliant this is".

It was about 2 years since "bloody tourists" was released and this was a welcome return to form with all members of the band contributing to the song writing,the single one two five is a great song and should have been a big hit also the follow up single "it doesent matter at all" hails all the trademarks of a 10cc classic,rick fens songs welcome to the world and dont send we back are quite good but my favorites are lovers anonymous and la inflatable sit back and enjoy.
