A Rare Jewel
And you just gotta love the album artwork. I stumbled across this album in a Dollar Tree which was an amazing find, and I must say the music on this album is a real jewel, from slower relaxing tracks like Won't Let Go to some of the more upbeat ones like Doin' The Dog.


High energy take no prisoners rock
Bone crunching guitar riffs, great solos, great vocals and great drumming. For me this is probably one of the best Knack albums released. This is one album you can play from beginning to end and enjoy every track. BnB Beatles Depot.


Make sure you are ordering the correct version!
Make sure the seller you're buying from has listed the correct CD! You may want to ASK the seller before ordering if it is indeed the 2002 re-release with four extra tracks (16 total). I ordered this CD three times, from three seperate dealers and always ended up getting the 1991 Charisma records release, without the extra tracks.

Great comeback album for the Knack! Not "classic" Knack, but certainly an interesting direction!

Plenty of fun for Knack supporters
These guys still have that same edge and sound to Serious Fun. I am a die hard fan of The knacks self titled album and was pleasantly surprised to get my hands on this CD. Some bands change over the years but the knack still have what initially made them more than one hit wonders as far as I'm concerned.
The production and songwriting material is ace with classic knack vocal style and lead breaks with a catchy choruses just be aware the album requires more than one listen to grow on you. .

Road Trip!!
I was shocked to see it go so quickly to "cut-out" in its first release on CD. The Knack's best, but largely unappreciated, album. Great to see its re-genesis with the Knack remasters. BY FAR, the best "road" disc you could ever take on a trip. The miles fly by as you bop maniacally in your seat. If you don't have this one--get it!!.
