Editorial Reviews

Ted Nugent's final album of the 80's is undoubtedly his strongest of the decade. Reuniting with producer Tom Werman, Nugent had a particular sound in mind when he set out to record this in Los Angeles circa 1988. Features the Jon Bon Jovi/Ritchie Sambora collaboration That's The Story Of Love. 10 tracks digitally remastered with updated liner notes. 2001 reissue.

5.0 out of 5 stars My buddy Snoo introduced me to the wacky world of Nuge and, December 9, 1998
By 
newman@snet.net (Storrs, Connecticut) - See all my reviews
my life hasn't been the same since. If You Can't Lick 'Em is a typical hard rock offering straight outta the '80's. The whole shebang is basically a sexist, innuendo-ridden tribute to Nuge's favorite physical activity...and I ain't talkin' about shootin' antelopes. Despite its leanings toward generic hard rock, the album still manages to get me fired up. Maybe it's due to the fact that the music is bright, up-beat, and easy to digest- musically that is. Nuge doesn't really strive to make his listeners think about the songs or bother them with ponderous social issues; he just wants his fans to feel good about life. Obviously the man is not totally hell bent on hedonistic pursuits- check out the melodic ballad "Spread Your Wings." Besides that track, all the rest are mid-paced to speedy rockers that rely on riffs that weren't exactly cliche by 1988, but were pretty darn close. It matters not; Nuge makes those tired sounding guitar riffs sound fresh and sparkling. His vocals really ain't too shabby t'all, but do suffer from that I'm-the-lead-guitarist-so-I-think-I-can-sing-syndrome. I believe that Ace Frehley suffers from the same malady. -David Newman 1998

3.0 out of 5 stars It's decent but not as good as the 70's albums, September 24, 2003

This review is from: If You Can't Lick 'Em Lick 'Em (Master Series) (Audio CD)
If You Can't Lick Em...Lick Em was a return to Ted Nugent's rocking roots after his previous effort, the disappointing Little Miss Dangerous. Although Derek St. Holmes would return to his band around the time of this album's release, Ted sings all the lead vocals here. The majority of the tracks are very good, among the best being "She Drives Me Crazy", "Funlover", and "That's The Story Of Love", which he co-wrote with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora. The title track is outstanding and a welcome return to the long guitar jams he'd excel at with the '70s classics "Stranglehold" and "Writing On The Wall." The very laid-back "Spread Your Wings" is also a strong track. The remaining tracks on the album's second half such as "Bite The Hand" and "The Harder They Come (The Harder I Get)" are not among his best work but still better than most of the tracks on Little Miss Dangerous. While If You Can't Lick Em...Lick em is not among his best work, it's definitely worth a listen.

1.0 out of 5 stars This Album is Just Not Very Good, February 6, 2005
This review is from: If You Can't Lick 'Em Lick 'Em (Master Series) (Audio CD)
I like hard rock and Ted Nugent has put out some good stuff, but this album sucks. The guitar is OK, but the vocals and the songs are just weak. You can use this album as a big giant coaster during a Super Bowl party.
