"Get Lucky" is Loverboy's best album. When I was in middle school in the
early to mid 1980s, this was my favorite album. I had it on cassette, and
I played it so much that I wore it out. Everyobdy knows the song "Working
for the Weekend." It's a truly great song. But it isn't necessarily the best
song on here. Actually, there's so much diversity on this CD, it's somewhat
hard to say what the best song really is. "Take Me to the Top" gets big credit
for experimenting with non-conventional song structure. That keyboard riff is
so awesome! And then combine it with all the other great instruments, and Mike
Reno's perfect singing, and you have a true classic."Jump" is also excellent.
I don't remember ever hearing this one on the radio. That's too bad, because
it could have made an excellent single. It's got a great guitar riff, great
lyrics, great drumming, and a certain urgency and seriousness that give it
strength and power. "Gangs in the Street" is a good social commentary. How
nice to hear a song about this subject that doesn't contain any vulgar language.
"Lucky Ones" is a song about how some people have better luck than others. Again,
Loverboy does a good job at making social commentary. Yes, it does idneed seem as
if there are some people in the world who have everything handed to them, without
ever having to put any effort into it at all. Now that I think about it, every
song on this CD is excellent. There is no filler here at all.
