After the creative and commercial misfire of their third album, Strictly Personal, Detroit's the Romantics took a step in the right direction with their next effort, 1983's In Heat. While the hard rock production of Strictly Personal was pure overkill, In Heat was the band's leanest effort to date, and though producer Pete Solly doesn't reprise the neo-Shel Talmy sound he brought to their debut, he puts the focus here on the group's strengths - straightforward pop/rock tunes with a big beat, big hooks, sharp harmonies and plenty of energy. It also helped that Mike Skill returned to the band for this LP as bassist, bringing a knack for a good tune with him, and Coz Canler learned to rein in his guitar style, giving the performances on this disc a tighter and more compact sound that fits the material just right. The band nodded to their musical roots with a pair of pair of appropriate covers, 'Open Up Your Door' (a big hit in Michigan in its original version from Richard & the Young Lions and 'Shake a Tail Feather' (a rocked-up version of Andre Williams' R&B perennial), and while the album's two big hits, 'Talking in Your Sleep' and 'One in a Million,' are a far cry from 'What I Like About You,' they're clever and memorably hooky, and after Strictly Personal they were a breath of fresh air. In Heat was the Romantics' most commercially successful album, and while it certainly isn't their best, it's an entertaining showcase of what these guys did well.TRACKLIST:1.

This is a must have for 80's afficionados, sometimes referred to as the RED album, it contains the best line up the band ever had. It was the vocals and harmonies of the drummer and bassist combined that really sold this album. This is a bit of 50's rockabilly with 60's pop combined with 80's new wave all together in a hit making combo that has boosted 'What I Like About You' into the national best loved-played-at-every-game-hit that it is.
'Talking In Your Sleep' was a great follow up, but no sooner did the band start to get attention, they changed the line up. 'In Heat' has some of the tracks with original members, but the on-stage performances were a let down and the band clings on the edge of oblivion.

Their 'Strictly Personal'or 'Pink Album' was confusing, and latest live offerings, extended offerings and the awful 61/49 are better left behind. Cole and Marino were the sound, and they could be like their peers, enjoying a renaissance of their own if only they could get it back together today. Metaldiva Sez: Great addition to your collection. This was the band at it's peak, it brings back memories of shoulder pads, high heels, teased hair and boogying at Bookies in Detroit. Music was fun then and this must have album personnifies this great 80's rock band and makes you pine for Jimmy and Rich's touch today.' ' A rock 'n roll treasure, it simply doesn't get any better than this!' 'The Romantics' 1979/80 release (self titled) is the finest powerpop release of the last 25 years.
The track 'what I like about you' has risen to the status of 'legend' and has become one of the most played and recognizable rock 'n roll anthems of all time. 'What I like' exists in the same timeless and cherished rock 'n roll universe as songs like 'you really got me', 'louie louie' and 'wild thing'. But, before you label the Romantics as one hit wonders you'll need to get your facts straight; 'What I like about you' never reached the top 40 and was never a 'hit', the highest billboard chart position of the song was #49. The album itself turned in something less than a stellar performance. The HUGE success of the song in later years is a testament to its 'magic' and the raw talent and brilliance of the Romantics. There are too few 'happy endings' in Rock 'n Roll and these guys DESERVED the long over due success! It's an absolute shame that the Romantics are continually neglected in various rock 'n roll 'guides', books and by the many so-called 'authorities' and 'critics' of rock.
The Romantics kept the flame of powerpop alive in the early 80's and finally had a pair of hits with 'Talking in Your Sleep' and 'One in a Million'. These tracks represented a turning point within the group, away from raw guitar riffs and toward a more 'mainstream' rock sound. The group continued to grow and tour (even during a decade long legal battle for their rock 'n roll soul) and eventually released the CD titled 61/49 in 2003. When sampling the Romantics catalog of material you'll learn that they managed to churn out 'hit worthy' songs by the truck load. You'll also find a group that never lost sight of it's roots and that will take you on a ride through sweet powerpop, raw garage rock, a bit of funky R&B tinged rock, a few Motown inspired efforts, British invasion inspired tracks and of course blues based rock.

This release can stand solid next to the best efforts of the Kinks, Who, Stones and Beatles. In an era ruled by disco and dinosaur rock the Romantics had the heart, vision and talent to bring the Rock 'n Roll dream back to life! If you claim to be a collector of REAL rock 'n roll your collection will not be complete without this CD.TEN STARS.'

Taking a cue from the early Kinks, Rolling Stones and the Who, the Romantics excel at beat and riff driven rock 'n roll. If you're a fan of any of the aforementioned 'legendary' rock acts from the 60's and have never taken a listen to the Romantics you'll be amazed at the sonic GOLD they created!
Fans of modern 'revival' groups like JET should certainly check out the Romantics.Nothing quite compares to the debut release by the Romantics, but 'national breakout' is a very strong release with some very cool tracks.Tomboy - a bit weak lyrically, but strong on riffs.Forever Yours - The Romantics deliver some sweet power-pop.Stone Pony - Plenty of Power Riffs here! Great song!New Cover Story - Another 'sweet' power-pop effort.A Night Like This - More Riffs from garage heaven!National Breakout - Lots of Power on this Track!21 and Over - Cool!I Can't tell you anything - Kind of sounds like a Rolling Stones song.Take Me Out of the Rain - A great 'pop' effort. Very Cool!Friday at the Hideout - An Amazing track, the RIFFS will blow you out of your chair!Poor Little Rich Girl - Great track with a 'fierce' ending.There isn't anything on this release on the scale of 'What I like About You' or many of the other essential tracks off of the debut effort, but a song like 'Friday at the Hideout' cannot go overlooked, it's a garage rock classic!The Romantics would falter (only once) with their next release titled 'strictly personal' (due to the HORRIBLE production of Mike Stone).
They would recover nicely with 'In Heat', an effort that would finally generate two top 40 hits (One in a Million and Talking in Your Sleep) and which had some major riff driven tracks like 'Rock You Up', 'Got Me Where You Want Me' and 'Love Me to the Max'. Strong releases 'Rhythm Romance', 'Made in Detroit' and '61/49' would follow.If you consider yourself a fan of Power-Pop, Mod, or Garage Rock and you don't own this release, your collection is not complete!' 'This a good 'Romantics' album-but the question is-WHY IS IT SO DARN EXPENSIVE?! I originally got this 'way back in the Early 80's when it first came out on vinyl and I remember thinking it was a little harder edged than their first album. Are there just certain 'Romantics' cds that are out of print?
It's too bad if they are-they're a great 'Party Band' 'VA - Romantics And Friends-MIDWEST POP EXPLOSION!

'Strictly Personal' finds the band rocking along, oblivious to a new phenomenon called MTV and unwilling to change a thing about their delivery. This is both good and bad as the band delivers reliable Romantics standards on songs like 'In The Nightime', 'Spend a Little Love On Me', 'She's Hot', and 'Bop!'
Things get dragged down into repetition on tracks like 'Why'd You Leave Me' and 'Can't Get Over You'. There are no great Romantics tracks here, but no real bad ones either. Pick your 4 or 5 favorites and add them to your iPod playlists, then forget about the rest.' 'Another great Romantics album. This was there third release and they tinkered with sound a bit before going back to basics with the next album, 'In Heat'. When it came out a friend of mine likened the more aggressive sound of this album as, 'Romanitcs meet Kiss'. I still think he was right.
The sound is dirtier, with more punch. Fans of the band and power pop will love this.if you can still find it! Should been huge, ya know? 'This album probably is my favourite one from this band, though the first one is better in general, but man, how the drums sound in this one!! 14 Comments: said.Follow-up to the Prince song - Erotic City (clean edit / radio edit).
