Review

'Freeze Frame' hit the scene in 1981, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer for the J. Geils Band. This album wasn't just a hit; it was a chart-topper, sitting pretty at number one on the Billboard 200 for a whole month. Talk about making a splash!

What really sets this record apart is its musical diversity. You've got your catchy pop-rock anthems like 'Centerfold' - which, by the way, skyrocketed to number one on the Hot 100 - alongside some seriously funky, jazz-infused tracks that'll make you sit up and take notice. 'Angel in Blue' also made waves, cracking the Top 40.

Seth Justman, the band's keyboard wizard, was the mastermind behind this album. He wrote or co-wrote every single track, and his production skills really shine through. It's slick, it's polished, but it still packs that raw rock energy the J. Geils Band was known for. Sadly, this was the last hurrah with Peter Wolf on vocals, marking the end of an era for the band. But what a way to go out, right? - Omar
