They Defenitely Kept it up Slightly more of a pop sound than before but still a great album. This album is awsome. The keyboards sound wonderful. I seen them in concert back in 1996 and they still rocked the house. Let's all get together and bring back good rock music!.
Cool album!
The band was still under contract with Columbia Records,making this album their third since 1980. KEEP IT UP is Loverboy's third album and these guys are still rocking hard. Hits include QUEEN OF THE BROKEN HEARTS and HOT GIRLS IN LOVE. The other songs are good.
Third and Third-Best Loverboy Album
I thought they were going to become and remain huge. I used to love Loverboy back in the 80's. What they really were was a fad and this album was the beginning of the end for them.
I think this is actually a very good album, but the singles, "Queen Of The Broken Hearts" and "Hot Girls In Love," are definitely not the best songs. I think they were released as singles merely because they "sounded" like some of their other hits (most notably, "Working For The Weekend"). Most of the other songs on this album are way better than those two.
If you like classic Loverboy, I highly recommend this one. .
Four excellent songs and five good songs
I hope they bring it back into production. You can't go wrong with this album, if you can find it. It includes four outstanding songs (Hot Girls in Love, Strike Zone, It's Never Easy, and Queen of the Broken Hearts) and five good songs. "It's Never Easy" is a beautiful bittersweet song about falling out of love. Mike Reno wears his heart on his sleeve, and you can feel the passion and honesty in his singing.
too easy
Back in the early 80s, when Keep It Up was released, I thought it was great. This is almost too easy-- like shooting fish in a barrel. "Hot Girls in Love" was the radio favorite, and I liked "Queen of the Broken Hearts" the best. Now, it all sounds like crap. The synthesizers sound cheesy, the vocals sound strained, and the music sounds like an average hard rock band being played through the speakers of a 1980s video arcade game or a mono television.
Loverboy's debut album was better. Sad to say, their later albums were even worse than Keep It Up.
Keep It Up? I suppose they couldn't.
