Yob it owt Baybee - By: Mr. Anthony Cox, 24 Apr 2010 
Slade's final offering of the 'LOUD daze'....no 'skweeze me pleeze me'..but you do have 'The Bangin' man'
Pop, Rock, ballads, Jim & Noddy's writing improves as they dive fearlessly into new musical territories. - By: Richard Chestney, 01 Jan 2010 
The Sladester's... what a fun loving lot of foot stompin' & yellin' yobs. The boys with the shag cuts generated big glam racket, while storming the countryside with their infectious hooligan chants. Taking their spelling lessons to heart, Noddy 'n' company packed "Old New Borrowed & Blue", with ten roof raising pop rockers, which includes the balls out rollers "Do We Still Do It", "Good Time Gals", "When the Lights Are Out", "Just Want a Little Bit", & "Don't Blame Me". Also we are treated to some bonus tracks which includes my all time favourite Slade song, "The Bangin' Man".
Old new borrowed - Slade's slip - By: R. Trinkwon, 15 Nov 2009 
After 3 great singlesin that year, this LP was much awaited for but was a big disapointment. Non of the rockers worked & only 'Miles out to sea' & 'Everyday' saved it from total horror. Poorly mixed, thin guitars etc. All slade's other albums are much better. ONBB tipped their career downwards along with the then looming greatness tag. The bonus tracks are all better than anything on the original LP. A collectors item only, but Don't blame me shows just how loud a human voice can scream, so its a novelty if you like.
Under-rated genius - By: Big Jim, 09 Oct 2009 Other reviewers have very eloquently put the case for Slade to be seen as one of the best ROCK bands ever. This is their best album, the most mature yet jubilantly "teenage" album they made, with a variety of styles that lesser groups & artists (I'll take a chance & incur the wrath of T REX fans here by stating that old Marc couldn't deliver a ballad as great as "Everyday" if he tried) just couldn't & indeed still can't match.
Great pop/rock crossovers rarely come off & Slade arein the pantheon of those that did - I'm thinking Oasis, Blur, Showaddywaddy here (OK I'm joking about Oasis) but hopefully you see what I mean.
Where it all went wrong for Slade of course is that they tried to become TOO serious, or were perhaps advised to become so. Not that they were bad at that of course but it just didn't ring true somehow. Perhaps if they had stuck to what they did best they would have easily ridden out punk & who knows, perhaps Live Aid would have kicked off with a rendition of "Cum on feel the noize" rather than "Rocking all over the world"
A mixed bag - By: Paul, 07 Jun 2008 This seems one of those albums that was made from all the bits & pieces that they could find laying around at the time. Some really good songs but the album doesnt flow like some of the other albums. Also the remastering didn't seem as good on this album & why did they put the 'melody maker' talking thing on it - thats as bad as putting Xmas songs on albums. Good but not a classic.
