"Still the Same" is a song by English rock band Slade, released in 1987 as the lead single from their fourteenth and final studio album, You Boyz Make Big Noize.
Plans for a Christmas 1986 release were scrapped and the single was held back until 1987 as an attempt to avoid Slade's label as being a Christmas-only band.
[4] In a 1987 fan club interview, guitarist Dave Hill spoke of the song's lack of chart success: ""Still the Same" is basically being regarded as a flop in terms of what was expected of it.
This double pack edition included an additional 7" vinyl with "The Roaring Silence" as the A-side and "Don't Talk to Me About Love" as the B-side.
"[9] In a review of You Boyz Make Big Noize, American newspaper Record-Journal said the song was a "hook-filled, powerful tune", "resplendent in its anthemic arrangement and heavenly harmonizing chorus".
[10] In a retrospective review, Doug Stone of AllMusic commented: "Slade's headiest daze long gone, the band amazingly squeezes out sparks like "Still the Same": always tunefully tight, but loose enough to sing in the pub.
