5.0 out of 5 stars Geils knows how to mix rock, dance, and humor, February 21, 1999
This review is from: Love Stinks (Audio CD)
OK, I admit it: this takes me back to the high school days of crack a few cases and turn the tunes up really high. In those pre-CD days, you had to be careful to mount your turntable out of the way of the pulsing speakers and the out-of-control dancers who got off on the music. This one was a standard. Peter Wolf manages to sing like he's got a joke that he's just dying to share with you except when he's pulling out the soul on Desire. Magic Dick on the harp blows energy to match the great guitar leaps and bounds of J. Geils (himself) and the Steve Winwood-esque manic accuracy of Seth Justman on keyboards. If you go through life without hearing "No Anchovies Please" then you've had a sad, miserable and partially empty existence. I am desperately hoping that the Coen Brothers eventually film it. Bottom line: rock and pop and dance and all the genres that music has divided into nowadays used to exist in a sort of frenzied detente and this album represents the best of what can happen when it happens.

4.0 out of 5 stars The last huzzah!, January 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Love Stinks (Audio CD)
For me, this one was the original J. Geils Band's last unqualified sucess of an album, though a case could be made that the radio-friendly FREEZEFRAME, which came after LOVE STINKS, was the bearer of that honor. Maybe so, but it's hard to argue with the good-time holler of the title tune, the garage rock of "Just Can't Wait" or the "we're-still-live-and-kickin'" spirit of "'Til The Walls Come Tumblin' Down." Peter Wolf is a singin' man possessed here, the band backs him to to the hilt all the way through, and when you've got album where even the comedy filler kicks in ("No Anchovies Please"), that's not half bad. A nice end to the Seventies that nurtured this group.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top of their form..., February 27, 2006
This review is from: Love Stinks (Audio CD)
I agree with the reviewer that said the bad boys from Boston entered the 80s in style with this album...yes, we all know what they were capable of with live classics like Full House and Blow Your Face Out...this is a band who had nothing to prove in 1980 and they were just having a great time doing what they were doing, and it shows. The fact that 26 years later, their version of the Strangeloves' song Night Time is being used in a TV ad says to me this was the definitive version, with Peter Wolf's confident strut all over it. The other-worldly comic bit No Anchovies Please is just a break in the action, and the boys step it up right afterward with the mighty drum-accented title cut...from the new-wavish opening track Just Can't Wait to the harmonica-soaked bluesy closer Till the Walls Come Tumblin' Down, this is classic Geils all the way. The reviewer who thinks it's the album that stinks just doesn't get it. The band knew they couldn't just do the same album over and over and get anywhere. This was one of their finest, and most fun!
