Album Review
"Picture This" found Huey Lewis & the News developing a signature sound, but they truly came into their own on their third album, "Sports". It's true that the record holds together better than its predecessors because it has a clear, professional production, but the real key is the songs. Where their previous albums were cluttered with generic filler, nearly every song on "Sports" has a huge hook. And even if the News aren't bothered by breaking new ground, there's no denying that the craftmanship on "Sports" is pretty infectious. There's a reason why well over half of the album ("Heart Of Rock & Roll," "Heart and Soul," "I Want a New Drug," "Walking on a Thin Line," "If This Is It") were huge American hit singles -- they have instantly memorable hooks, driven home with economical precision by a tight bar band, who are given just enough polish to make them sound like superstars. And that's just what "Sports" made them. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
