EXTD=ke a re-energized and de-sleazed version of Get the Knack, Zoom i
EXTD=s the best album the maligned power-pop band has recorded since t

EXTD=meback. -- Stephen Thomas Erlewine\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: (Re-Zoom
EXTD=) The Knack's 1998 release, Zoom, was their, let's see, fifth alb
EXTD=um and third comeback attempt. Unfortunately, Rhino utterly dropp
EXTD=ed the ball on its release, and when the rights reverted back to 
EXTD=the band, they reissued it in early 2003, concurrently with their
EXTD= sixth album and fourth comeback attempt, Normal as the Next Guy.
EXTD= A big improvement over 1991's largely dire Serious Fun, this alb
EXTD=um also benefits from the presence of new drummer Terry Bozzio, a
EXTD= fellow victim of changing popular tastes and a far-superior drum
EXTD=mer than the MIA Bruce Gary. In fact, Re-Zoom is probably the bes
EXTD=t Knack album since 1979's Get the Knack, with at least a few fin
EXTD=e examples of pure L.A.-style power pop and a psychedelic closing
EXTD= ballad, "(All in The) All in All," that's among the group's fine
EXTD=st songs. Unfortunately, most of the band's failings are still on
EXTD= display: Although Doug Fieger's lyrics have lost their original 
EXTD=misogyny, they're still rather smug, and he sings them with a sel
EXTD=f-satisfaction unwarranted by his flagrantly derivative musical s
EXTD=ense. (At least "Terry and Julie Step Out" makes its borrowings f
EXTD=rom the Kinks' "Waterloo Sunset" plain.) It's not for nothing tha
EXTD=t by far the best song on Re-Zoom is the untitled 17th track, a j
EXTD=angly pop/rocker with some excellent, wordless "ooh-la-la-la" har
EXTD=monies. Competent but unnecessary covers of Elvis Costello's "Gir
EXTD=ls Talk" and Badfinger's "No Matter What" are also added. -- Stew
