Opening titular cut advises, "You don't wanna fight 'em when the numbers ain't on your side." Glancing at the battle-ready poses from this quintet on the el pee's cover, I'd lay odds with the bookie on them to Knuke The Knack.
Sure, the usual suspects of power pop show their faces (Badfinger/Raspberries), but bloody noses and blackened eyes reveal a Brownsville Station-cum-Slade willingness to mix it up. Cub Koda musta slyly smiled at the menacing treatment of "Keep-A- Knockin'," while Noddy Holder woulda, uh, nodded towards the riff-a-rama cheekiness of "Hey Boys" (misheard lyrixxx: "She feels smooth as silk/Just like a bondage film/But she can put you in your place"). "Good Fun" and "Dandelion" ice the wounds with chilled balladry; the latter being a James Taylor-esque Brian Jones dedication sung by the rhythm guitarist.
Almost a steal from fye (Lynnhaven Mall, Va. Bch.) at the working-class price of $4.99.
