Suzi Quatro: Your Mamma Won't Like Me - 1975
The last of Suzi's glam period albums was this formulaic offering from 1975, by which time the glory of glam was fading - fast. It is redeemed by the presence of a harder, funkier-edged single in the title track, the equally funky grind of both I Bit Off More Than I Could Chew and Can't Trust Love as well as the chunky Strip Me but other than that, it is ok, but pretty inessential. I always loved those sexy groans Suzi injected into the title track, though. The problem was that now the big rolling drum sound of glam was officially deemed no more, glam rockers like Suzi had to go heavier (as she and The Sweet did) or mess around with clavinet-driven funk as she also did here, Mud did too and even Slade indulged in. That meant that this album was not a bad one, musically, but it just didn't have that catchy glam appeal. Tracks like Paralysed and Prisoner Of Your Imagination are acceptable heavy-ish rock tracks but Devil Gate Drive or Can The Can they ain't.
