Yeah!

With ten great songs, is an album that lives up to its name -- quite possibly the only fully realized LP the band ever made. Eight covers, all given the treatment, and two originals -- one of which sold two million copies. is the quintessential "nice little record" -- it won't take up a lot of your time, and it's got a very friendly vibe to it. The cover songs span a wide variety of musical styles, which isn't that surprising, considering that guitarist/vocalist has a deep knowledge of music history. From 's to then-unknown to the band pumps out all of its songs in a chugging, lighthearted manner that ends up being nothing but fun. Lead vocals were previously the exclusive domain of bassist , but emerges as a singer as well; may have been the more prototypical rock singer, but it was 's sleazy, nasal snarl that worked to perfection on the classic hit single While the success of opened a lot of doors for the band, it also pigeonholed them in such a way as to render them almost un-arrestable only a couple of years later. Between their wild onstage antics and the fact that the follow-up album, , was a blatant attempt at cashing in, the band lost a lot of the credibility they had earned by playing straight-ahead rock & roll. Although would never again capture the magic here, easily stands the test of time -- it's truly delightful. ~ Geoff Ginsberg
