"Where
Bad Company was stark, minimalist hard rock, Straight Shooter bears
lots of different, vibrant colours: acoustic guitars are used for light
and shade, guitars are channelled through chorus pedals, pianos and
organs alternate with the occasional wash of strings, and the entire
thing feels bigger and bolder than before." (AllMusic)
"Forsaking
the constant thunder-thudding drone motif of ’74 in favour of a more
textured approach, the group uses subdued acoustic guitar and tight
vocal harmonies during most of the verses, saving the harsh electrical
shocks for the head-slamming choruses. It’s a relatively simple 'calm
before the storm' setup, but Bad Company milks it for all its
effectiveness." (Rolling Stone)
"This rocks even more
consistently than Bad Co., but to argue that it epitomizes hard rock as a
style is not only to overlook its deliberate speed but to believe in
one's (usually male) heart that Paul Rodgers is the ideal rock singer.
You hear that a lot; what it seems to mean is that he doesn't shriek
when he gets to the loud parts. Rodgers's power is no more interesting
than Tom Jones's, and Jones is twice as subtle. If hard rock doesn't
have more to offer, it's not worth arguing about." (Robert Christgau)
