Loverboy
Lovin’ Every Minute of It
Genre: Rock
3.25 out of 5
Highlights:
Friday Night
Look, I can not and will not make excuses for how many times I’ve sung the words “Lovin’ every Minute of It” when something good is happening in my life.
No apologies.
That said…hoo boy, that’s not only not a great song it’s also a blatant attempt to sound like Def Leppard. It’s unabashed in how badly they want to get some of this space. And it should come as no surprise that it was written by Mutt Lange. I mean, it’s SO Mutt it might as well be called “Mutt’n Every Minute of It”. Also that they hired the producer of Leppard’s On Through the Night.
Anyway.
Like Heart this is an album of mostly songs that the band bought from others. Unlike Heart most of them crackle with that mysterious Canadian energy and production.
