Up Your Alley returned
Joan Jett to the pop Top Ten with the catchy, crunching rocker "I Hate Myself for Loving You." Despite that success, however, the rest of the album doesn't quite add up; a cover of
Chuck Berry's "Tulane" is the only track that matches the single's energy, and the
Desmond Child collaboration "Little Liar" was a minor follow-up hit, but most of the material is rather thin. [A Japanese reissue of the CD appeared in 2004.] ~ Steve Huey
