I Love Rock and Roll

VINYL FORMAT. "I Love Rock N' Roll, Joan Jett's first record with the Blackhearts, was a tougher, louder album than Bad Reputation, primarily because her new backing band gave her a more coherent sound. That dynamic, hard rock crunch is what made the title track into an international hit, but it also gives the album dimension - not only can Jett and the Blackhearts tear up heavy glam rockers, but they also pull off the mock psychedelia of Tommy James and the Shondells' 'Crimson and Clover' with aplomb...the band's muscular, gritty sound makes the album just as good as Bad Reputation." - All Music Guide
