Great but often overlooked album The title track is will blow you away as will others. This is a great cd from the queen of noise herself. It's a shame this album has not gotten the credit it deserves.
a definite Joan Jett buy
this album may be even better than Up Your Alley . . and that's saying a lot. The songs that aren't absolutely great (most of them) are better than her usual not-great songs . . . .
Another Great CD From The Queen Of Guitar Rock!
So Jett makes another kick ass cd! not surpiseing to me! This CD is not quite as good as some of her others but it still rocks! Well i must say my favorite song on this is"Roadrunner"! I crank that song up as loud as it will go every time i hear it! This is another one of them cd for the long haired guitar rockers! Well Well Well i guess she don't need the runaways does she! lol!.
Outstanding
There is a whole lot of great songs on it: „Good Music", „This Means War", „Roadrunner" (by Jonathan Richman), „Fun Fun Fun" (by the Beach Boys) and „You Got Me Floatin'" (by Jimmy Hendrix). In my opinion the best studio album of the queen of rock'n'roll. My favorite Joan Jett song however is „Light Of Day" (by Bruce Springsteen). (Caution: This title is not contained on all CD versions!). Also the semi autobiographic movie with the same title is quite worth seeing. I am still waiting for a live album of Joan Jett!.
Hasty recording
The title track(despite some forced, car-commercial uplift)is tuneful(and much better here than on the butchered-for-time 45 release)and "If Ya Want My Luv" is decidedly ominous, but new fans of Jett's won't appreciate this album being layered in a sugar-coating that gets repetitive, at times even annoying. Recorded very quickly by Jett, just after she completed her acting chores for "Light Of Day", Joan signed to a new label and gave them a soft, hurried sell. And the record is awfully brief--couldn't they have issued this with some outtakes(the B-side of "Good Music" was "Fantasy", which ended up on FLASHBACK)?.
