Album Notes & Community Reviews

Catapulted to unimaginable global fame by the iconic riff of 'My Sharona', The Knack's debut is a masterclass in impossibly catchy, Beatles-inflected power pop. 'Get the Knack' is an incredibly energetic, highly melodic, and wonderfully playful record overflowing with undeniably tight rock hooks and unapologetically lustful, teenage hedonism.
