Editorial Reviews
With their second album, 1981's GET LUCKY, the members of Loverboy followed the famous old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it. " The hard candy-pop direction of their first album is mined once again, but this time the songwriting is even stronger and the sticky sweet hooks somehow catchier. Besides spawning such radio hits as the uptempo "Working for the Weekend" and "Lucky Ones," Loverboy enjoyed even bigger success thanks to it's videos constantly airing on the then-new music television channel MTV. One of the more unforgettable (and now rather goofy) images of early MTV remains Loverboy singer Mike Reno posing for the camera, sporting a headband.

Musically, the album is strong. Great songs, and great production. The keyboards are sometimes a bit cheesy... but when Johnson sticks to adding foundation to the songs... it really works well. (2017 edit: his keyboard work is VERY good. I have a lot of respect for his contributions. I've been re-listening and he does add a lot to the songs. The intro to WHEN ITS OVER and TAKE ME TO THE TOP are the cheesy sounds I was referring to previously.). The heart and soul of this release is the rhythm section of Dean, Frenette, and Smith. When I listened to WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND, I found it amazing how well the guitars, bass, and drums lock together. They created a really pleasing groove. Dean is very tasty, and his guitar licks are well placed and awesome. His tone overall is very meaty, but without a lot of distortion. This is a guy who knows what he's doing, and you can hear the maturity in his playing. His solo tone on WHEN ITS OVER is really nice... a great solo. Smith sounds great on the bass... he's adding so much to the foundations, but his bass lines are also adventurous and fun to listen to. The drummer Frenette is really good as well... lots of really awesome fills and breaks. His snare sound is really great, especially on WORKING FOR THE WEEKEND. Reno is the unmistakable frontman, and it shows. His singing is great, and works well with the songs. This was (is) a really great band... lots to enjoy. A great CD to crank in the car!

"Working for the weekend" demo is a gem
Sorry for meandering...on with the review! For those who know Loverboy already, you may know the hits (of which there are quite a few) but if you never heard the entire "Get Lucky" album, you may not realize how good the deep cuts are. I have this on LP from "back in the day" but never owned the cd until now. When I saw it on Amazon for a ridiculously low price, I had to get it. This is one of the classic AOR albums of all time. There's no real filler on this album and the band put in fine performances. If you are unfamiliar with this album at all but are at least mildly curious about it (likely since you are here looking at the reviews), it's definitely worth purchasing at this price (under $6 at the time of this review).
I've always felt that Loverboy never got the recognition they deserved for the quality of hard rocking "pop" they produced. Paul Dean is an incredible guitarist with a keen sense of how to write catchy hooks. I think the name "Loverboy" caused many hard rockers to keep the band somewhat at arms-length; yet, I think many of those same folk secretly admired what Loverboy did on their early albums. I enjoy this slice of 80's bliss just as much as I do "Back in Black" by AC/DC or "Restless and Wild" by Accept. Great rock music is great rock music no matter how you slice it.
The early 80's produced a plethora of slick, hard rock that was dynamic and incorporated aspects of many genres. After Def Leppard and Quiet Riot showed record labels just how much money could be made via hard rock / heavy metal, the corporations began producing cookie cutter rock that was marketed for image over music. MTV didn't help either. The groups from the first years of the 80's, I've always felt, still had a dose of musical integrity and were less tarnished by corporate imaging. Billy Squire's "Don't Say No," Shooting Star's "Hang on for Your Life," Sammy Hagar's "Standing Hampton" and albums of their ilk, stand as testaments to the classic pre-digital, AOR sound. Loverboy's "Get Lucky" belongs there, too. Great music, less sullied by the extravagance of the mid to late 80's.
