The track list includes a few genuine killers. "No Matter What," a compact gem that recalls the melodic innocence of the early Beatles, may be the band's apex. "Without You" is the band's original version of a quirky power ballad that Harry Nilsson would soon turn into a pop smash. The five extra tracks included with this reissue offer a variety of treats. The fiery "Get Down" displays a hard, bluesy edge and searing lead guitar, while "Friends Are Hard to Find" is all tight, gentle harmonies. These are welcome additions to Badfinger's great, underrated catalog.
Discovered by Paul McCartney and signed to the Beatles' Apple Records, Badfinger was, for many fans, the next best thing to the Fab Four. But even if the band did start as a Beatles wannabe, it eventually forged a successful power-pop style of its own. NO DICE, Badfinger's second album, exhibits a confident band with strong, melodic pop songs and a diminishing Beatles influence. Bandleader Pete Ham, with his distinctively tense vocals and guitar lines, carries the band through well-constructed melodies, well-conceived harmonies, and edgy instrumentals.
Badfinger: Pete Ham (vocals, guitar, piano); Joey Molland (vocals, guitar); Tom Evans (vocals, bass instrument); Mike Gibbins (drums).
Rolling Stone (12/2/70, p.52) - "...One of the best records of the year....great rockers...and gorgeously done pop rock and roll....Don't miss them..."
Uncut (p.120) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[B]y NO DICE they hit their stride..." No Dice Music Review Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)   ONE OF THE GREATEST ALBUMS EVER
Badfinger is the band that could have been one of the greatest ever, but due to poor management which eventually led two of the members Pete Ham and Tom Evans to kill themselves, Badfinger never got the rewards they deserved for creating some of the greatest songs ever made. Day After Day, No Matter What, Baby Blue and Without You which has been one of the most covered songs in history and nobody even knows this band made it. Buy No Dice and prepare to be blown away.

Their Shining Hour
Badfinger will go down in history as the band that just never got there just rewards. Their careers were cut prematurely and what a shame. I seen them play live shortly after this LP/CD was released. They were tight and well honed like a fine Swiss clock. When I heard them play "No Matter What" live it sounded every bit as good as the studio cut/version. They just simply blew my hair straight back they were just that good. I will never forget their performance. Beatles clones? No not really. I view them as just a band who took the Beatles sound one step further. Clean and non pretentious was their sound with melodies and guitar work that play in your mind endlessly. Buy this you won't never regret you did. I rest my case.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  One of the best!
Their 2nd album is just not as good as their first, but I still strongly reccommend it! The two most memberable songs are "No Matter What" & "Without You." All of the other songs are good also, but you won't be humming these other tunes on here after your first few listens.

The Band emerged from months of seclusion with this enthralling debut album. It followed a lengthy spell accompanying Bob Dylan, which culminated in sessions known as THE BASEMENT TAPES. Three songs herein were revived from those recordings, and the remainder showed a similar pastoral spirit. Where contemporaries sought expression in progressive music, the Band were largely reflective, creating atmosphere from traditional forms and distilling the results ...

Some historians and researchers suggest that the Surf Whammys were created in an advanced biological laboratory by Japanese scientists using cloned genetic material which was carefully collected from various rock and roll memorabilia, such as autographed albums, personal letters to fans, guitar picks, and assorted soda pop containers. Yet another group of historians and researchers are convinced that the Surf Whammys are none other than Ravi "Reverb" Ole, Rama "Ding Dong" Lama, Darnell "Cootie" Farnell, and Milford "Finger Puppet" Whittle--four musicians who together with their manager (Billy Earle "The Major" Lama, the identical twin step-brother of the band's drummer) have made the transition from traditional instrumental surf music to modern rock and roll.Could the Surf Whammys be genetic clones of some of the great stars of rock and roll? Is it possible that the Surf Whammys were created in an advanced biological laboratory soon after the military accident in 1959 that ended the career of the original Elvis Presley and the tragic airplane crash in 1964 that ended the careers of the original Beatles all too soon?Is "Reverb" the genetic super-clone of George Harrison, John Lennon and Elvis Presley? Is "Ding Dong" the genetic clone of Ringo Starr? Is "Cootie" the genetic clone of Paul McCartney? And is "Finger Puppet" really the identical twin step-brother of "The Major", who actually is the brother of his third cousin, twice removed, who is "Ding Dong's" uncle, as well as being "Reverb's" personal tailor and "Cootie's" spiritual advisor ...
