Album Notes & Community Reviews
Attempting to expand their sonic palette beyond the strict, punchy power pop of their massive debut, The Knack incorporated jazz and psychedelic influences into their third album. Despite the ambitious songwriting and crisp production, 'Round Trip' failed to reverse their rapid commercial decline, leading to the band's initial dissolution shortly after.
