I’ll Make You Happy
Perfectly acceptable 80s pop rock. Continuing that Blondie/Go-Gos/Knack/Joe Jackson angle pop with an eye to bigger venues. Totally listenable and yet a perfect representation of the era.
The second half, which is a healthy dose darker and more experimental, is also a letdown after the scintillating Side A. Only redeemed by the excellent Easybeats cover “I’ll Make You Happy”, which Rick Springfield would also breath life into about 20 years later.
