Album Notes & Community Reviews

Capturing the raw, blue-collar power that made the band massive in North America, 'Not Fragile' is an essential boogie-rock staple. The album relies on heavy, repetitively driving riffs and Randy Bachman’s distinctive, gravelly vocal delivery, producing a relentlessly energetic and commercially savvy sound that defined 1970s Canadian arena rock.
