album review
In interviews, Pat Benatar made it clear that she had no desire to be stereotyped as a hard rocker -- often adding that she preferred new wave's melodic keyboards over hard rock and metal's crunching guitars. Indeed, Get Nervous was the most melodic album she'd done since In the Heat of the Night. This isn't to say that Get Nervous was a return to new wave-ish leanings; in fact, songs like "Anxiety (Get Nervous)," "The Victim," and "Silent Partners" are intense, forceful jewels that rock aggressively. But at the same time, the album's pop elements and strong emphasis on melody leave no doubt that the last thing on Benatar's mind was recording another Crimes of Passion. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide

Nothing to be "Nervous" about

- "Get Nervous" is a straight-forward hard rockin’ album, driven by a one-two punch of Benetar’s street-tough attitude and strong vocals combined with the tight guitar work of her husband, Neil Gerardi. Even the one ballad on the album is given a rock hard edge with Gerardi’s guitar work.
Favorite songs on the album? The title track is my favorite, but there are three other strong cuts which stand out in their own right, including the title track, Shadows of the Night, and Looking for a Stranger. But this album is chock full o’ the hard rocking tracks which made her one of the queens of rock radio in the early 80s. - Be the first person to rate this review!
