The Knack - Zoom (2015) [Reissue]

Seven years after the failed comeback Serious Fun, the Knack reunited with new drummer Terry Bozzio in tow and recorded Zoom. Sounding like a re-energized and de-sleazed version of Get the Knack, Zoom is the best album the maligned power-pop band has recorded since their debut. Doug Fieger's songwriting is sharp and melodic and the band delivers the tunes with vigor. A few cuts are a little undistinguished, but there are more solid, memorable songs here than on most of their albums, and that alone makes it a successful comeback. AMG
