专辑简介
Ted Nugent's final album of the '80s is undoubtedly his strongest of the decade. Although that isn't saying much. Reuniting with producer Tom Werman, it's evident that Nugent had a particular sound in mind when he set out to record If You Can't Lick 'Em...Lick 'Em. If the album's sound marks a return to the classic compact Nugent guitar sound, the songs once again leave a lot to be desired. Recorded and mixed at Conway Studios in L.A., Lick 'Em suffers from a lack of consistent material, pontificated by the fact that Nugent sings each and every song on the record — making it sound completely one-dimensional. In an effort to garner FM airplay, the Nuge collaborates with Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora on "That's the Story of Love"; sadly, the track sounds like a bad Kiss outtake. The "Little Wing"-inspired "Spread Your Wings" never takes flight either, as the ridiculously titled "The Harder They Come (The Harder I Get)" is anything but hard or cutting-edge. Once again, hiring the best studio dogs that money can buy (like stellar drummer Pat Torpey or knack engineer John Purdell) can save Nugent from himself.
