The undisputed Queen of Rock'n'Roll is back with a vengeance and return to form!

I've just purchased my copy of "Back To The Drive" from Toombul Music (one of
the largest music retail stores in the Southern Hemisphere), and I thought I'd
give you a track-by-track analysis on it:

Back To The Drive: Wow!! The intro to this track is electric with the cacophony
and Suzi's screaming intro from "Devil Gate Drive" sampled. This track grabs
you instantly and is designed to rock your head right into the floorboards. A
shame that Nicky Chinn wasn't there to co-write it. But it's quite easily the
best song that Suzi has done since "Lipstick". 10/10

15 Minutes Of Fame: There's a nice Greek folk sound to this track, and a very
astute look at the disposability of the modern music scene of which Suzi has
been one of the survivors. Nice track to sing along to in the pub waving a
schooner about. 8/10

Duality: Suzi experiments with an Indian raga before taking it into a
psychedelic stoner track. Her sibilant vocals add to the dark and intriguing
ambience of this track. 9/10

I Don't Do Gentle: Showing a love for big-band jazz and blues, this reminds me a
bit of "Brain Confusion" and "All Shook Up". Definitely one that you can throw
your partner over your head and under your legs to on the dancefloor. I love
this track! 10/10

I'll Walk Through The Fire With You: I think that Laura could have featured a
lot more on lead vocals on this track, and she has a fantastic soulful voice.
It's a rather standard 80's sounding track that sounds like it could have been
from the "Oh, Suzi Q" album. 7/10

Wasted Moments: The chugging guitar intro to this song rocks, and it's
definitely one of the stronger tracks even though it's lyrically sparse. 10/10

No Choice: It's one that needs repeated listening before you can decide whether
you love it or hate it. I think it's okay 7/10

Sometimes Love Is Letting Go: One of the few tear-jerking moments from Suzi up
there with "Catsize", "Lonely Is The Hardest", and "Starlight Lady". It has a
hymn-like stillness to it, and sounds like Bette Midler's "the Rose" in some
parts. It's not often we hear this side of Suzi, and I think it'd make a great
single. 9/10

Dancing In The Wind: Apart from the intro, this track tends to drag on a bit.
Not one of the better songs that she has come up with, but that's my opinion.
6/10

Free The Butterfly: Beautiful, and one of her most personal songs to date.
10/10

Born Making Noise: Great closer to the album, and I love the blues harp playing
on it. It sounds a little bit like Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine", except a little
faster. That's not a bad thing, since it was one of my favourite songs as a
17-year-old. 9/10

Thanks Suzi, Laura, Len, Andy, Steve, Mike and the others for bringing a smile
to my face for the first time in a long time. I hope that this album will do
the rounds for Suzi and get her back on the throne again!! :-D
