| With
the battle raging on between Classic Rock, New Wave, and the few remaining
vestiges of Disco, one band slipped through to take the world by storm. Yes, The Knack. 'My Sharona' was a HUGE hit worldwide and several major labels were fighting constantly over who would sign them. Capitol won. Unfortunatetly, Capitol didn't know how to market them by the time the second album was released. But for now, The Knack reigned supreme! |

Fieger was starting to feel the pressure with this one. While a good
effort, it just didn't have that magical spark that Get the Knack did. |

great record! The Knack return to form - very sad that nobody heard
it. Even more sad that they broke up after this album was released. |

LOVE THIS RECORD!!! After 10 years of relative (recorded) silence, The
Knack returned with a powerful collection of 12 power pop gems.This band ROCKS!! Why they aren't selling out stadiums is a crime against nature. Thank God for The Knack! |

really need this one, since every song is previously released. Oh, except
for the Bruce Springsteen song ('Don't Look Back'). That, and it's a Knack record, so I had to have it. |

| Y'know,
if it takes a multi-year break in order for there to be a great Knack
album, then so be it. Seven years after their last original release, and MAN, does this thing ROCK! Plus, they had the foresight to get one of the greatest drummers alive, Terry Bozzio (Frank Zappa, Missing Persons). Though he was just along for this album and tour, he infused the band with an incredible backbeat. And any band that can carry off a sequel to one of the greatest songs ever ('Terry & Julie Step Out' = 'Waterloo Sunset' - The Kinks), is my kind of band! |

| Why?!?
Why can't great bands like The Knack get a record deal and have tons
of airplay, even in this homogenized era of rock music? Why must they resort to internet sales to survive? Guess I shouldn't complain . . . at least they do have the internet to get their music out. Thank God for small favours. |
