Joe Jackson A&M, 1979 He didn't have 's way with words, or Graham Parker's blue-eyed-soul-man style. But Joe Jackson's debut showed that he could match his rival angry young Brits where it counted: song-for-song. Is a near-perfect short, sharp New Wave-pop album, toggling from wiry punk ('Got the Time') to witty ballads ('Is She Really Going Out with Him?' ), from social commentary ('Sunday Papers') to bruised romance ('One More Time').
Secret weapon: Jackson's ferocious little four-piece band, especially bassist Graham Maby, who nearly steals the show.
Joe Jackson Look Sharp Tab
A brilliant, accomplished debut, established as part of that camp of angry, intelligent young new wavers (i.e., ) who approached pop music with the sardonic attitude and tense, aggressive energy of punk. Not as indebted to pub rock as and, and much more lyrically straightforward than the latter, delivers a set of bristling, insanely catchy pop songs that seethe with energy and frustration. Several deal with the lack of thoughtful reflection in everyday life ('Sunday Papers,' 'Got the Time'), but many more concern the injuries and follies of romance. In the caustic yet charming witticisms of songs like the hit 'Is She Really Going Out With Him?,' 'Happy Loving Couples,' 'Fools in Love,' and 'Pretty Girls,' presents himself on the one hand as a man of integrity seeking genuine depth in love (and elsewhere), but leavens his stance with a wry, self-effacing humor, revealing his own vulnerability to loneliness and to purely physical attraction. Is the sound of a young man searching for substance in a superficial world - and it also happens to rock like hell.
