Free Music Notes for Are You Okay

Free Music Review: Wow! (Not Wow?)
Hit: 5 Stars

"Smile" sung by the Knack's Don Fieger is more poppy and memorable than anything on "Meet the Knack", and that album sold zillions. It's saying something that the weakest track, "Betrayal", also sung by Fieger, isn't half bad.

"Man vs the Empire Brain Building" was my philosophy of life for much of the eighties. It's hilarious AND infectious. Just try to get it out of your head.

"(Return to the Valley of) Out Come the Freaks" is better here than the recycled version on "What's Up Dog?"; here the melody rocks rather than rambles.

But the best track is the opener, "Knocked Down, Made Small (Treated Like a Rubber Ball)", a growling R&B shiv that skips the Was "brothers" trademark tongue-in-cheek and reminds you why you have a hammer, anvil AND stirrup.

This was absolutely one of my Top Ten albums from the entire 80's decade.
