 Rating: - Joe Jackson - Great Debut AlbumIf ever there was such a thing as a rock n roll chameleon, Joe Jackson would be it. Over the years he has done albums that encompassed punk, new wave, pop, jazz, swing, album oriented rock, and even progressive rock. On this his first album Jackson burst on to the scene mainly appealing to the punk and new wave crowd, but unlike most artists of this ilk, Jackson could actually play the hell out a piano and wrote lyrics that were both biting and incredibly intelligent. Joe's debut would rocket him to stardom with the smash hit single "Is She Really Going Out With Him" and three other lesser hits "One More Time", "Sunday Papers" and "Got The Time". Joe's lyrics are cerebral, cynical and at time hilarious as he portrays the angst of a 20 something ...

It's really one of the most overlooked, underappreciated rock albums that history isn't doing any favors for. You may know Joe Jackson for his smash "Is She Really Going Out With Him?", which, in the days of Kazaa, was commonly attributed to The Cars not unlike how "Dancing in the Moonlight" was pegged to Van Morrison instead of it's true performers, King Harvest. "Is She Really Going Out With Him?" topped out at number 21 in 1979 in the US and 13 in the UK and propelled the album to reach #20 in the US and #40 in the UK (credit: Wikipedia). Look Sharp! features a ton of fun rock, early pop/punk, and dancible ...

Not that it hadn't been great in its day, but it was getting slow and tired. Then, starting in 1977 with Elvis Costello and Tom Petty, a new sound started to seep onto the airwaves. The subversion continued in 1978 with The Cars and Warren Zevon, and then, in the spring of 1979, New Wave hit the US with a vengeance. Combining hard rock and disillusionment with a pop sensibility, it was a fresh sound. The Police "Roxanne", Talking Heads "Take Me to the River", Blondie "One Way or Another" and "Heart of Glass" (despite its disco beat), Costello "Accidents Will ...

Holds up extremely well over time. As "sharp" today as when it was released. |
