New Album from The Cars "Move Like This"

It's on my listen to list but haven't yet.

The Cars do not get the level of respect they deserve. They really were a major factor in tilting the rock music landscape in a different direction back in the late 70's and into the 80's, at least in the college music scene of the time. Plus the sound quality on their debut album when it came out was killer for the time compared to most of teh competition. There was no album during that time that got more airplay in college dorms and events. It was fresh and catchy! PLus they are a group whose catalog I can still listen to regularly and enjoy.

Plus,

Ric Ocasek is married to an incredibly hot model named Paulina Porizkova (sic?). They used to hang out at an Italian restaurant near me in the East Village. One look at him and one look at her....and you knew that being a rock star is a great thing!

The music's fun, too.

So insurance underwriting isn't going to get me an incredibly hot model? Where were you 30 years ago when I needed that advice?

The first three albums hold up very well and still sound great. For me, Candy-O is their masterpiece. I heard that a new album was coming out, and I will try to take it for what it is, but I won't expect it to be the same without Benjamin Orr. I really felt the loss when he died.
They have a lot of talent, and Elliot Easton is still one of my favorite guitarists. It's not the seventies anymore, but they might still have something interesting to say.

Move Like This is great, one of the more enjoyable discs I've picked up in quite some time. Highly recommended!!!
