Got it used for a dollar...and I wonder if it was my copy from way back when.

I hadn't heard "Boys Go Crazy" and "Another Lousy Day" before. (Until today I didn't even realize there *was* a third album by The Knack!) Very peppy music. That *would* be wild and funny if you actually bought back your own old casette, Screen.
I'd say in these two songs their strength is their instrumentation and not the lyrics, although they are both nice songs. The documentary about The Knack said how frustrating it was for them when people would always say, "When are you going to play another song like 'My Sharona?'" because they knew they could never top that. Ah well, that's the downside of fame. It always ends sometime!
