Bad Company: 10 From 6 [Atlantic, 1985]
Recollected in a best-of's serviceably tuneful tranquility, their gut-crunch is smarter and more laid-back than anyone cares to notice, its deterioration less striking than its formal fortitude. Their tales of priapism and peripatesis avoid posture because they are posture, lean and mean as a clean machine. Would all "hard rock" were so austere. Pure as punk, in their way. B+
