\ion of 'Hit the Road Jack' truly salvages the show, and that's not really saying much - novelty songs always stand out when there's nothing else to laugh at. Ultimately, of course, Quatro would be seen as a mere hiccup in a career that had many, many years left to run - and many more twists and turns to take. At the time, however, another monarch had quietly slipped from its throne, another spangle had dropped off the glam rock crown. It really was all rather sad.
After successfully toying with a more AOR-oriented sound on If You Knew Suzi, Suzi Quatro made a strong return to her hard-rocking roots on 1979's Suzi...And Other Four Letter Words. Although not a full-on hard rock album, this album sports plenty of driving, guitar-oriented tunes. Good examples include the lead-off track 'I've Never Been in Love,' Which Effectively juxtaposes rollicking, piano-driven verses in a Jerry Lee Lewis vein with a chorus full of power chords, and the dazzling 'She's in Love with You, "a set of instructions' on how a nice girl to court in September to a double-time backbeat and fueled by insistent guitar riffs. These Are Bracing rockers like judiciously balanced with a string of tuneful, keyboard-based mid-tempo tunes, 'Hollywood' Effectively use a light sweet melody and a vocal from Quatro to put across a gritty tale of how the incumbent city eats up young innocents , and 'Four Letter Words' is an amusing put-down of a lying lover in September to a pop-inflected reggae groove. The downside of Suzi ... And Other Four Letter Words That STI is to consistent emphasis on rock feel if it leads to a verymilar sound from song to song (many of the songs recycle the same double-time backbeat), and some of the songs rely a little too heavily on the band's delivery to support them (the melody of 'You Are My Lover,' which is minimalist to the point of being repetitive). Despite these minor problems, Suzi...And Other Four Letter Words remains a solid slab of rock that is guaranteed to please the Suzi Quatro fanbase.\
