Length 9 tracks, Release Date 1 January After making a promising start with their self-titled debut, Loverboy hit the big time in with Get Lucky. This canny combination of AOR hooks and new wave production gloss boasts some memorable radio-ready tunes but isn't as solid an album as its success might lead one to believe.
The best tunes on Get Lucky were the songs that became its hit singles: "Working for the Weekend" is a party anthem that blends some gutsy hard-rock guitar riffs with a synthesizer-drenched new wave rhythm arrangement to become a huge hit, while "The Lucky Ones" layers clever … read more.

And top it they did. Not only did Get Lucky have one of the most incessant, not to mention long-lasting, pop rock singles of the s, but it went on to sell four million copies and spend a whopping weeks on the Billboard album chart, the kind of Stateside success Canadian bands at the time could only dream of. Most importantly, to the delight of millions and the dismay of just as many, it would kickstart the career of producer Bruce Fairbairn, and help usher in wave after wave of poodle-haired pop rockers who would follow the Loverboy template for the rest of the decade.
With music as garish as those tacky red leather pants on its cover, Get Lucky is actually a rather odd album, top-heavy with three well-known singles, and six filler tracks that sound like the band was still trying to find an identity.
Of course, those three singles are the main draw, and deservedly so. The rest of the record is more of a mixed bag. You better take care!
