 | The Cars [Read More ...]
Description: American art-rock was often stilted and lacking in humor until the New Wave arrived. Liberated by the influence of the Velvet Underground, Roxy Music and punk-era fellow travelers like Blondie and Suicide, the Cars methodically linked hookiness (enough to produce three hit single... |
 | Candy-O [Read More ...]
Review: Stellar: Since the Cars had created a perfect album with their 1978 self-titled debut, it would be nearly impossible to top it. Instead of laboring long and hard over a follow-up like many '70s bands did after a huge commercial success, the band cranked out their sophomore effo... |
 | The Cars - Greatest Hits [Read More ...]
Description: The Cars' blend of New Wave experimentation and trad-rock values made for nearly ubiquitous radio presence in the late '70s and early '80s. Often jumpily ambivalent and marvelously pop-wise in the same moment, Ric Ocasek captured the zeitgeist for people to whom even Talking Head... |
 | Heartbeat City [Read More ...]
Description: Buddy Holly-meets-Roxy Music was the hook-filled formula Ric Ocasek and crew fell into on their classic 1978 debut--and it's one they continued to milk throughout the first half of the '80s. As in any formula, it seemed to dilute a bit with each subsequent release. Heartbeat City... |
 | Panorama [Read More ...]
Review: Difficult third album one of The Cars' finest...:At the time of Panorama's release it was deemed difficult, awkward and overly-arty. Time has proven that these things were not such bad things for The Cars. Given the somewhat agreeable one-two punch of the two stellar albums that ... |
 | Shake It Up [Read More ...]
Review: Shake It Up...The Last Great Cars Album:Shake It Up is a fantastic album. Although I didn't realize this upon first listen, a few listens later I understood this album to be exceptional. It incorporates more synthesizer parts than before but the arrangements are good, and every g... |
 | Just What I Needed: The Cars Anthology [Read More ...]
Description: Despite musical roots that branched from the Velvets to Steely Dan and the likes of then-new wave icons Roxy Music, the Cars never strayed far from the crucial, hook-conscious, three-minute pop song sensibility which made them one of the most successful and long-lived radio stapl... |
 | Box Car Racer [Read More ...]
Description: Playing punk pop for teenagers hooked on MTV may inflate your bank account, but it doesn't do much for your credibility. Fortunately, Blink-182 guitarist Tom DeLonge and drummer Travis Barker, two-thirds of the multiplatinum crew, found a way around this quandary. The pair formed... |
 | The Cars: Deluxe Edition [Read More ...]
Description: American art-rock was often stilted and lacking in humor until new wave arrived. Liberated by the influence of the Velvet Underground, Roxy Music, and punk-era fellow travelers like Blondie and Suicide, the Cars methodically linked hookiness (enough to produce three hit singles a... |
 | Door to Door [Read More ...]
Review: Underrated sure but not illogically so...:For all intents and purposes, Door To Door is the black sheep of all Cars albums. It's lyrics are somewhat faceless, inoffensive and are nearly generic in stance. Which is a shame because it doesn't have too much in common with anything e... |
 | Let's Never Get Older [Read More ...]
|
 | It's Alive! [Read More ...]
Description: Let the good times roll - again. This ain't your father's automobile, or your older brother's for that matter, but the emergence of The New Cars, comprised of original members of The Cars. Joining Elliot Easton on guitar and Greg Hawkes on keyboards is an all-star group of rocker... |
 | Please Describe Yourself [Read More ...]
Description: While Interpol claims Joy Division and The Killers take on Duran Duran, this Scottish band seems to delight in digging through the '80s bargain bin for its influences. Sure enough, its debut album sounds like a collision of the most unfashionable players of the era: Dexy's Midnig... |

 | Batch [Read More ...]
Review: This rocks:Ok, Frank Daly needs to get ... into another band right now. He has to be one of the best singers of all time, and his work on this album rocks. I know he was in that band All Systems Go, they rock too, but since then I havn't heard anything from him. I can't believe n... |
 | The Waking Hour [Read More ...]
Japanese reissue of sole album, originally issued in 1984, from duo comprised of Bauhaus vocalist/lyricist Pete Murphy & ex-Japan bassist/composer Mick Karn. Packaged in a miniature LP sleeve. Imperial. 2004. |
 | Box Car Racer (Clean) [Read More ...]
awesome album!:It sounds like Angels And Airwaves and Blink 182 but without the funky beats and vibes. Just guitars and drums. You can see how this album influenced Blink 182's last studio album. |
 | The Passage [Read More ...]
Description: Boy Hits Car are known for playing the sickest, loveliest, ugliest, prettiest, most beautiful, melodic, heartfelt music that the band dubs "Love Core". Their most recent masterpiece, "The Passage", is an intense journey from start to finish down the road of passion, loss, anger, ... |
