Essential

Review Score: (10/10)
Good luck finding ANYONE who doesn't like this album...maybe that crotchety old woman down the street who still calls rock music "noise". Try finding any other album (or band) that both new wavers and classic rockers both love. This album is my favorite, featuring such great numbers as "Good Times Roll", "Just What I Needed" and "Bye Bye Love". If there's something bad to be said, it's the occasionally silly lyric ("Let them brush your rock and roll hair", "I needed someone to bleed"), but they sing and play with such conviction you don't notice. Buy it and play it loud enough to annoy that old lady.
