Get Nervous by Pat Benatar

Get Nervous, Pat Benatar's fourth studio album, hit the racks on Chrysalis in 1982 with a reshuffled band behind her. Guitarist Scott St. Clair Sheets had walked after Precious Time, and Charlie Giordano came aboard on keyboards, his first time on a Benatar record. The formula still runs on that big voice cutting through a wall of rock guitar, but the keys give the whole thing a sleeker, twitchier sheen, which suits the title fine.

"Shadows of the Night" is the keeper, a brooding, dramatic rocker that won Benatar her third Grammy for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in 1983. "Little Too Late" and "Looking for a Stranger" followed it out as singles, and all three landed in the US Top 40. The album didn't sell like the two before it, but it still climbed to No. 4 on the Billboard 200.
