Last great rocker for Rod?
5 Jan 2005
Format:Audio CD
(My rating system: 1-Bad 2-Average 3-Good 4-Very Good 5-Excellent/Classic)
This album sold like crazy for Roderick! It was deemed a "comeback" at the time, but Rod hadn't gone anywhere, and he hadn't stopped selling records either, so go figure....
Out of Order rocked harder than anything we'd heard from Rod in years, and certainly rocked MUCH harder than anything he's done since. It was a return to Rod the Rocker that many of his longtime fans had longed for. Teamed with Andy Taylor of Duran Duran, you wouldn't have expected this, unless you happened to listen to Andy Taylor's solo work. What Out of Order became was a strong mix of solid rock with Rod's balladeering and storytelling.
"Lost in You" was a lead single that immediately received heavy airplay. A little bit of "the Scot" thrown into a nice 80's rock sound. Second up was "The Wild Horse". An excellent tune, which was a bit of a throwback. A strong guitar, very Faces-like tune from Taylor, played at mid-tempo. Suits Rod's voice perfectly.
You had mega-hits "Forever Young", "Crazy About Her", & "My Heart Can't Tell Me No", all with ultra-cool Rod videos, which got constant airplay on your local video channel.
Lesser known rockers from the album are "Dynamite", which is classic Rod- Fast, partying, drinking, & chicks, all to a driving beat. "Lethal Dose of Love" was a nod to Rod's early 80's work. Sounds as if it could have been written for 1983's Camouflage album. Strong beat, fun lyrics. The cd contains a song not found on the original vinyl, "Almost Illegal" which is another fine rocker in the traditional Rod style.
Of course, it wouldn't be Rod without a not to his soul/Motown loving past, and you have a cover of "Try a Little Tenderness", and the lovely, "When I Was Your Man".
Sadly, Rod has never rocked this way since. His Out of Order tour saw his a man possessed on stage, mixing hits from this platter with his old classics. While I have no qualms about Rod's "softening" since then- we all get older- I hold Out of Order as a jewel in his output from the last 20 years. He showed flashes of it on When We Were The New Boys, released in 1998, but it was short lived.
A very good album any Rod fan should be happy with.

Very adventurous album by Rod Stewart
19 Sep 2004
Format:Audio CD
I still consider Out of Order one of Rod Stewart's best albums. I still like Forever Young, Lost In You, but still my favorite is My Heart Can Tell Me No. I didn't know if radio would play it because of its 5 minutes, but it's one of Rod's best '80s songs. I tried nearly 2 years to get this album, but I finally heard it in 1990 and it's still one of my favorite Stewart albums. Stewart's raspy voice was in fine form this album. I liked The Wild Horse on here, one of his more rowdy songs. I liked his cover of Bobby Womack's Nobody Knows You When You're DOwn and Out. That proves that he respects his R&B and soul influences. But Out of Order was fabulous pop overall!

Enjoyable 80s album
28 Mar 2003
Format:Audio CD
I bought this tape right after it was released. I recently dug it out of storage and was listening to it again and enjoyed what I hadn't listened to for a while. I bought the album because I am an Andy Taylor fan, not so much a Rod Stewart, but I was impressed by their pairing. Excellent rock. The two should have done more together. I particularly enjoyed The Wild Horse, Dynamite, and Almost Illegal. The stand-bys Forever Young and Lost in You were also excellent. I had a harder time with the others, otherwise this album would get 5 stars. Buy it and remember the 80's.
