Like This is the third studio album by American power pop band the dB's, released September 12, 1984 by Bearsville Records. On this album, the band performed as a trio following the departure of Chris Stamey. The album included a re-mixed version of "Amplifier", the lead single from their previous album, Repercussion.
The album's cover is a collection of stills from the music video for their 1982 single "Neverland", which went unreleased until 2008.[3] Stamey, who was present for the video shoot, was edited out of the stills present on the cover.
