Product Description

Amazon.ca

Their debut album went gold in record time and the initial hype from the Beatles' own label (Capitol) was that this was the group destined to be the next big thing--which they were for this one album. "My Sharona" and "Good Girls Don't" were the big hits. But the hype and their overnight success set off a "Nuke the Knack" backlash that saw their subsequent records fail miserably. Get the Knack, however, is great power pop. "Your Number or Your Name," "Lucinda," "Oh Tara" and "That's What the Little Girls Do" are all top notch pieces of songcraft, brought to their fullest potential by the flawless production by Mike "Commander" Chapman. --Rob O'Connor

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT SQUEEZER EVER July 7 2004
By Sound Profiler
Format:Audio CD
This POWER POP BAND rocketed quickly after release of this album.That means social environment thirsted for this kind of 60's RIVERPOOL SOUND REVIVAL.This band is one of the followers of THE BEATLES,such as CHEAP TRICK,BIG STAR,etc.... In this album,THE KNACK members did not parodied themselves as a BEATLES CLONE,but they could update their style in the late seventies.
All in all,this album maybe a miracle hit,but their catchyness still lingers on in the 21st century.Let's kick the KNACK running.

I won't go on and on, just let me say that this is one of the all time powerpop masterpieces ever recorded. If you don't like it...you just don't get it.

4.0 out of 5 stars One singular sensation. Jan 6 2003
By M J Heilbron Jr.
Format:Audio CD
What a pop time capsule THIS is! Crisply performed, energetic and slightly naughty, The Knack's debut took the world by storm. This was quickly followed by a backlash heretofore unseen in pop music...a widespread resentment of the band only because we liked them too much. They didn't molest any children. They didn't offend any racial groups. We just loved them, and then hated them because we felt stupid loving them.
That's a shame, 'cause this is timeless catchy pop rock that will outlive any "knuke the Knack" memories.
By the way, "My Sharona" is STILL one of the greatest mindless pop singles ever. Admit it. You know it. You love it. Get over it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The lost art of Rock 'N Roll !!!
This album is Rock 'n Roll perfection. Honestly, this is one for the archives that can be securely placed next to any Beatles, Stones, or Kinks material you can name. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A really solid album from first to last. Classic
Despite those who think they're too "hip" to like the Knack, this group can play. Forget the reviewers claiming they're a bunch of no-talents. Read more

The Knack came out of nowhere in 1979 and scored big with their smash "My Sharona". They combined pop and new wave together and the combination was instant success. Read more
