The 1981 Listening Post - Dirty Looks - Turn It Up

 Dirty Looks - Turn It Up




#583

1981 Housekeeping

Dirty Looks 

Turn It Up

Genre: Clones of the Knack

2.75 out of 5




From the first track I am immediately reminded of another band that made a stellar record and then spent the next one trying to hard to continue that sound while pushing an envelope no one asked them to: The Knack. 

I get a pulsating sense of ….but the Little Girls Understand from Turn It Up. 

I’m sort of stunned at how much “Carrie” sounds like a Weezer song but I shouldn’t really be surprised. Weezer’s DNA seems to be coursing through with Feigerisms. 

Sadly, while the songs are certainly o-kay, this is not nearly as good as their debut and it’s all pretty repetitive. 

It really feels like the lesser of all The Knack output. 


Missed:? Not really.



It’s on the second half of this:
