In Brief:

** The Knack, “Serious Fun,” Charisma. Those Beatles clothes never really fit back in the new-wave-phenom days. Now after a long layoff, Doug Fieger and crew try on some musical togs that are better-suited, but a little harder to identify. The Raspberries? The Sweet? No! It’s Boston! That’s it! All smirk, no soul, even with Fieger’s old Detroit pal Don Was producing. Albums are rated on a scale of one star (poor) to five (a classic).
