The Cars

ну я не дослушал, чот всё понятно стало к третьему треку уже

Agradable, letras sin complicaciones

Classic hits. Good background/driving music

Part of me wants to hate The Cars for spawning a dozen shitty imitators, but I guess that's not actually their fault. This is a fun album. Best track: Just What I Needed

I'm going to out on a limb and say that more albums have been ruined by off the rack synths than by any other single factor. And yet The Cars, on their debut album, managed to make off the rack synths sound not just funny, like Devo, but actually--gasp--cool! How the hell did they do it? Most importantly, they used synths for either single note contrapuntal lines or color, never chords. Secondly, guitarist Elliot Easton was almost always way up front in the mix. These are very guitar oriented tunes--the synths are generally secondary. The arrangements are like the interlocking gears of a watch, cunningly constructed. There are no extraneous lines or pieces. Everything fits together perfectly. It turns out that Roy Thomas Baker was the perfect producer for The Cars. There is a clarity in the production that encourages the listener to pick out the separate lines in the arrangements. The only way that Baker deviates from this plan is with the vocal choruses, which are big, full, and vibrant. It's a magical combination. Notice I haven't said a thing about the tunes themselves yet. That's because if the elements I mentioned hadn't been present, this album would have sucked big time. As it is, the music gods were smiling down on The Cars because every last tune is a knockout with strong melodies and big fat, rhythmic hooks, performed to perfection by the band, so that the album comes off as loose, hip, modern and most of all fun. And to top it all off, the lyrics are simple enough to understand on a first listen and yet sardonic and multi-layered. There are plenty of albums that are more complex, more ambitious, and more innovative than The Cars' debut, but it would be hard to find one more perfect.

Doesn't really have the song-to-song magic of Heartbeat City for me but still a strong album, especially for a debut. Just What I Needed was..... a high school classic for a boy like me Already Saved: Just What I Needed Saved After Listening: My Best Friend's Girl, Moving in Stereo*

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Just What I Needed, Don't Cha Stop, Bye Bye Love Cutting Edge: My Best Friend's Girl Overall Notes: I knew a little about the Cars (ie just Shake It Up) but I'd heard that they were one of the most underrated New Wave bands by the mainstream, despite the fact that I wasn't a huge fan. Sure enough, this was not very good on first listen, mostly because of what I feel to be fairly laidback vocals. However, repeat listens uncovered sublime little bits of guitar, base, and drums that elevated the album from a 2 to a 3. Don't think I'm in Touch with Your World got away though, that track is HORRID.

Surprisingly enjoyable. Strong songs.

easy rock listening, nothing outstanding.

Nah

Hit after hit! If you had asked me to name a Cars album, I couldn't have done so, but it turns out I know half of these. Great stuff.

There were many excellent songs on here but this one falls into the trap of being too popular and becoming generic.

Two classic songs that I never knew were by this band. Drummer is a g but everything else is just ok. For the time era I can see how it’s a classic but it’s just not for me.

6 of the 9 tracks on this album get regular radio play to this day. So yea, it’s pretty damn good. And the other three songs? Also pretty damn good.

A comment on this album on YouTube was that this could be a greatest hits album. Boy, are they spot on. That one-two-three of the first three songs on it, man! I’ll be honest, I was not a big fan of The Cars. Mostly because of “Drive.” (So overplayed when I was a teenager.). But this first album is really good. They really have the songs down. Very concise and well-written.

Like other new wave bands, I'm not sure any of the members of The Cars are going to win awards for their outstanding playing ability. But they are plenty capable. And their song-writing ability is very high. I am not ashamed to profess my love for the catchy Good Times Roll and My Best Friend's Girl. And I think they do well to show their multidimensionality with the edgier sounding Just What I Needed or Moving in Stereo. I know the former is one of their most popular, but it has a lot of depth and is less poppy than others. It's almost one of those albums that is good from front all the way to back. Tracks 4 and 9 are ho-hum and Track 5 is fun but not as good as the others. Still, I'll let that slide. Their later albums never matched the same high, but this album is one of the best new wave / pop rock albums of all time.

I don't think I ever gave this band enough credit. The first 3 tracks are well known hits but then you have the tracks that aren't singles. They may not have the same 'hook' that the singles have but they're all solid songs. This album definitely made me want to check out the rest of the Cars' discography

Great album start to finish. The Cars have a certain sound and a certain formula that can be heard across most of their songs, but it just WORKS. The beginning of Good Times Roll is such a great opening and the song is simply cool all the way through. In fact, the first three tracks (GTR, My Best Friend's Girl", and "Just What I Needed") are such classics I'd call this a 5 just on those tracks alone, but the rest keeps me interested and wanting to hear this album again and again (and of course "You're All I've Got Tonight" and "Bye Bye Love" are also classics). I'll also point out that this is a great pairing with Blondie's Parallel Lines which we randomly got a few days back. Perfect one-two punch of new wave.

It was okay, nothing really stuck out though.

finally a regular classic rock album Good classic songs, but "I'm in touch with your world" is odd and not that great Sorta flew by fast, was a short album but it really did have some hits in there

Overall this was a really good album, no huge stand out songs, but this is what I want when listening to a full album 4.7

Oh yea Let The Good Times Roll. I hear DEVO and hair rock in this, blended together for mutual benefit. The first 3 tracks on this album are some of the best openers ever. This album kicks ass. Its like a best of but its the first release.

Catchy moments but overall makes me feel unsatisfied. All the songs were enjoyable but none of them left me with the sense of awe, or the feeling of having to go back to it.The vocal production has too much reverb for my liking. The standout song for me was "Just What I Needed It," for the punchy guitars, the sharp synths, and the straight-to-the-point lyrics.

8. The Cars - The Cars. 9 tracks. What a pleasant surprise this was. Not all tracks are great but the one's that are make the album well worth a listen. Just what I needed is just what I needed. 3/5.

Didn't really like it. But theres some interesting songs i like

September 17, 2021 Love them.

I thought the three songs "I'm In Touch with Your World", "Don't Cha Stop", and "All Mixed Up" were pretty bad but the rest of the album was so good they more than made up for it. 4.5 stars.

I liked it. Obviously I knew The Cars for ‘Just What I Needed’ but this album as a whole was pretty good. 3.5

this feel modern even today. great blend of styles. tracks: good times roll, best friends girl, moving in stereo

Pretty solid album. Great start. Lost me a bit near the end.

Maomeno

my first rock album, i give it a solid 3.5

One of the classics, so many good tracks.

I better liked the movie.

Vrolijk album met leuke deuntjes. Heel goed te luisteren, maar ook bij dit album mis ik weer de x-factor om het echt bijzonder te vinden. ***

Mwah

Saai

I was transported back to the 80s, where I starred in a movie, sitting through Saturday detention, stealing the Ferrari belonging to my friend's Dad, or being forbidden to dance within city limits, and this was my soundtrack. A pleasant enough listen, but nothing very interesting.

Very good music, but the 80s super-clean production makes it sound very sterile.

What may have been interesting and innovative at its time doesn't always translate into good music today. It all sounds really bland and boring and the songs tend to drag on (not so much because they're so long, but because they're so uninteresting).

Basically every song is a hit. Impressive debut album.

What a debut

Great stuff, enjoyable new wave pop, particularly on classics like My Best Friends Girl & Just What I Needed.

A bit of a shaky start in that a couple of the earlier tracks reall are not to my taste, but on the whole it’s a really enjoyable album with a couple of great tracks. Definitely worth a revisit

Fun guitar and odd singing, but it works. A band I'd never listened to, so it was nice to hear their debut as an introduction.

Pretty impressive debut album. I've never been a big Cars fan, something about Ric Ocasek's voice that I just don't like, but I can't deny that this album is full of catchy, radio-friendly tunes. Amazing there were at least 5 hit songs off of this one album. 4 stars.

Really liked it!

yeah this one slaps

this feels like it would've been a revelation in 1978 - i didn't realize it'd been out for that long. even the less well-known tracks here were strong. plus, you know, hometown heroes!

5/5. This is the kind of album you expect to find on a list like this. Every song is great.

Amazing songs

Está bueno. Escuchar cuando no sé qué escuchar

3.5 stars. Better than I was remembering.

Good times roll is my favorite track from this album. My best friends girl, and Just what I needed are also outstanding tracks.

I had listened to this one a couple of times before and it has always made me feel good. Overall a pretty fun album.

Not as bad as I first would have thought Some pretty good tunes. You're all I've got tonight was catchy

Great album from beginning to end. Some of the best power pop ever recorded. Sadly, The Cars never released another LP of this caliber.

NOt so great

3.5/5 It's pretty good, typical late 70s early 80s pop rock

new wave go brrrrrrrrrrrrr

5/5 Love the album. Fav songs are (Just what I needed, Good Times Roll, Best Friends Girl). Iconic album.

This was 'Just What I Needed' after the crap punk of the last album. I'm sorry for that one. This is so much better though. It has some of that 70s vibe but also some proto-80s feel too. I'm also a fan of the band chiming in to sing sometimes.

a lot of radio songs which makes it a little tired for me, but solid album front to back.

Liked most of the album. 1 or 2 songs that I could take or leave but overall very good album

Every track is a banger

Solid! Some classic for sure. A bit early for some of the tunes, but greats nonetheless

Very refreshing music. Seems out of place and unlike anything. I will listen to it again, definitely.

Love this album. The first 3 tracks are absolute gold and it doesn't really drop off too far from there. I've loved Just What I Needed for years and can't believe it's taken this long to give the rest of the record a run. Amazing.

I mean, each track is a 5 star track, so what more can really be said about this album? Musically, The Cars nails The mix on Moving in Stereo is fun and meta as they play with the left and right channels. There's a high toned keyboard melody in All Mixed Up that punches out of the left speaker in such a delightful way.

It was pretty cool and knew more songs than I thought

Great pop album, can't really pick any huge standout tracks but enjoyed pretty much all of it

I mean it’s hard not to give it 4 stars, since almost every song is a hit. But, still I’ve hear them all like 4,007 times

Pretty good, easy to listen through. Love the popular singles that everyone else does.

Its okay. hella white person music. you can tell a lot of 80's rock (like Boston) were inspired by them. 3.5

There's an amazing EP in here with, yep, the 5-6 singles/radio hits (however you want to count them) - "Just What I Needed," "You're All I've Got Tonight," "My Best Friend's Girl" - all amazing songs, great songwriting and really snappy performances. The rest of the tracks though... "Don't Cha Stop" and "All Mixed Up" are fine I guess? Honestly, compared to the singles, they're filler. And "I'm In Touch With Your World" is awful. It's all obnoxious studio effects and a tedious chord progression. How did this make the cut?

really good, cant believe i never listened to this before.

Album of only hits and misses. The misses are so bad that they almost outweigh the hits.

The Cars fait partie de ces groupes formés de l'article "The" et d'un nom commun au pluriel (exemple: The Doors et son imperturbable organiste Manzarek). Pour autant, ce n'est pas aux Doors que le style des Cars nous fait penser mais bien à celui de Queen. L'album s'ouvre en effet sur une introduction intitulée "We Are The Winners" suivie du titre "Don't Block Me Now". Quelques pistes plus tard apparaît soudain le titre "Nonconformist Rhapsody". Pas assez flagrant pour vous peut-être ? Alors comment expliquez-vous que le dernier morceau s'appelle "We Will Move You" et que l'on voit dans son clip le batteur taper deux fois ses mains sur ses cuisses avant de les taper une fois entre elles ? Rendez-vous à l'évidence..

A great mix of new wave cool and radio-friendly pop, the Cars' clever use of synths also really helps to elevate this album above normal rock/pop fare.

i don't have high expectations looking at the tracklist. first song sounds okay. second song: can't ever stand clapping in songs, wonder why that is. well, i'm done. there wasn't anything special about this album. nothing stood out. but it wasn't awful so, a 2 it is.

🎸🎸🎸

I don't know if it's because I listened to this album every day for months or because they had a strange release plan, but I remember like seven singles coming from it. Plenty of great songs that sound like a more romantic Devo.

I love the cars, but it's one of those bands I never know it's them until someone points it out. It helps that I love the first song on the album. OOOOOO I know the 2nd one too. Yeah no doubt, I like this album a lot.

What a fab opening riff - followed by another - then another. Three of my favourite songs in a row. Joy. I haven't heard this album since 1980. Sadly not all to that same high standard, but then they couldn't possibly be, and even the duff tracks are pretty good. Loved it. I was also prompted to put some of these onto my running playlist. To criticise, I felt the vocal melody lines weren't always as good as the guitar lines underneath them. I generally like Ric Ocasek's vocals and on some tracks he's perfect for the vibe of the track; when he's right, he's really right; but sometimes he takes the low road when the high road is just inviting him along. I can't help thinking that with a stronger singer, they could have taken over the world - but overall, it's still a great sound.

Found this to be quite good. Much better than I expected

Two great hits in My Best Friend's Girl and Just What I Needed. The rest of the album was good too. I like the singing style and found it to be a god solid bunch of tracks.

This album and band’s influence is over so many things I’ve liked for most of my life

Crap

unerwartet moderner Hardrock und Synth für die Zeit

actually liked it a lot! v nice

decent

The Cars had a lot of hits, they kind of sounded the same, but they had a lot of hits

Next 6/7 on newtonian scale 6/7 25.0075 pas Like you're just listening to the song halfway through wanting a bullet througj the head until this song fucking ends. SHE USED TO BE MINE

Un album sympa mais pas revolutionnaire, même si j'ai apprecié la prise de risque au moment où Flash Mc Queen utilise Bessy la goudronneuse pour tenter de réparer la route 66 avec l'aide de son acolyte Martin la dépanneuse.

The Cars define everything I like and don't like about the 80s. The songs are well crafted enough but I find them somewhat formulaic. They have a bit of new wave and electronic push riding over a rock base. While they define the 80s sound it doesn't quite settle with me. I think a lot of their popularity came with timing, they got a ton of play in the early days of MTV which had huge viewership. A lot of the songs go a little over the top with the added electronics. Songs are fine, I just never was drawn to their sound. Best song: My Best Friends Girl I'll give it a 3 but more a 2 1/2 for me.

This is the Cars at their peak. Many of their greatest hits all packed into one quick listen. It falls off a little on the back end, but it's truly hit after hit for this one. Favorite Song: Just What I Needed

Tough one to rate. I can sense the innovation, very tight new wave rock. For some reason, I was getting a sonic connection point between the Cars and Queen, but that might be a little off. "Just What I Needed" has an insane build up to the chorus, and I'll love them for that, but overall I was uninterested with the music halfway through the album. Fav Track: "Just What I Needed" Rating 2.5/5

Not my cup of tea, per se. This record just doesn't inspire a strong reaction from me: it's just kind of inoffensive, middle of the road. There's not much here that would make me stand up and notice. I can appreciate the meticulous production and radio-friendly songwriting, though. There's something about it that feels exceedingly well-crafted, but lacking any particularly stirring artistic vision or compelling expression. The lyrics are particularly boring. Favourite track: "Just What I Needed"

Such a consistently good pop rock album. Not a bad song on here. I love how the cars kind of mixed bluesy rock with synths. It really influenced so many bands afterward.

Very 70s rock, good choruses, Queen style backing and linear guitar riffs

Está divertido

Excellent. Never heard of them before but will listen again.

Absolute rubbish

Fun, enjoyable, rhytmic rock.

Easy rock listening, knew a few of the songs

Exceeded my expectations.

Disappointed to say the least! I misread this as the Corrs and was beside myself with excitement only to find out it was the bloody cars!

A good 'un.

Dog shit

Clásico. Lo mejor en el power pop de los Beatles pre drogas y los Nerves.

The voice is is cloying on about half the songs.

The Cars greatest hits, and it was their debut album!

I'm not a huge cars fan, but I actually own this album. I think I picked it up at a thrift store... Anyway, It's synth heavy rock that doesn't offend me. I won't switch stations if it's on, but I don't have them on any of my playlists either.

Hit and miss. Some of the quirkier ones hit the mark but most is mor bollocks.

enjoyed this - wee bit dated, but good tunes and tight band.

Bad Queen tribute band

un par de canciones buenas

3/5

Couple of nice tunes, enjoyable

Movidito, peor no me capturó mucho. Supongo que esto es la idea que tengo del rock genérico, lo cual no es necesariamente malo, pero no me quedo con ninguna canción. Según Spotify agarraron mucha influencia de Velvet Underground, pero no veo dónde o cómo se refleja en este disco, quizás creé altas expectativas por leer su bio. Creo que la que más me gustó fue Don´t Cha Stop irónicamente porque es la que suena más basic, pero me parece chill y divertida. Mood: Ruta 66

Dope. Some solid gold hits plus some other good songs.

komplett 70er style.. stark rockig aber mit leichtem punk einschlag vorallem auf den vocals.. coole e-gitarren riffs und solos. geht ein wenig in die richtung der talking heads.. ok richtung beschreibung wär new-wave gewesen haha my best friends girl kannte ich schon, den rest nicht wirklich.. nicht 100pro mein sound aber schon fettes album

Unexpected treat

Never heard of em before. Very pleasant surprise

Just What I Needed is a certified bop but the rest of this album is sexy as hell

4.7 - Everything I love about Boston. The fucking attitude. The speed. The intelligence, craft and skill. Everything you want packed into 37 minutes, kid!

Buen disco siendo de los setenta recuerda a los ochenta

6

Thought I would like this, but apart from the obvious hits, I wasn’t enjoying it very much.

Mezcla de pop-rock de finales de los 70. Disco que se puede escuchar fácilmente, pero sin muchas pretensiones. Parecería que es más clásico, pero es el estilo que crearon. Bien para rememorar.

#3 olorcillo de Bowie, rollings y Byrne

Je vois les influenceurs du groupe the killers, de la pop mais back par des instruments et pas des criss de musique fait à l’ordi.Au début je m’enlignait pour un 2 mais la fin de l’album est moins pop mais plus rock, Je lévite; moving in stéréo !!! Fort ça , un toune j’écouterais dans mon char .just what i needed!! Don’t cha stop Je l’évite my best friend girl, Ouff c’est pop bonbon quétaine noir

Cool unique infusion of electronic synthesizers and the early hard rock that was seemingly just getting popular during this time. “Moving in Stereo”

The hits are amazing. The rest is okay. Totally thought All Mixed Up was a Red House Painters song until I heard it here.

2

I enjoyed these tracks

I didn't realize how many classic rock songs came from this one album.

70s pop rock at its chart-topping peak

groupe culte musique pour road trip ils portent bien leur nom

The Cars es una banda estadounidense de rock que surgió de la escena new wave a finales de los años 1970, proveniente de la ciudad de Boston, Massachusetts. Liderada por Ric Ocasek, y conformada además por Benjamin Orr, Greg Hawkes, Elliot Easton y David Robinson, se formaron a mediados de los años 1970 en pleno despegue punk; en 1977 consiguieron un contrato discográfico con Elektra Records y en 1978 lanzaron su primer disco, el cual hemos escuchado este fin de semana. Decir que el disco tiene una música muy pegadiza, típica de la new wave. Los temas están muy bien hilados y es un disco que se puede escuchar pero sin grandes pretensiones. Los mejores temas desde mi punto de vista son Good Time Roll, You're All I've Got Tonight y Bye Bye Love. De los demás se puede destacar también My Best Friend's Girl y Just What I need. Quizá me resulta un poco pesado el uso escesivo de los sinetizadores porque considero que a veces están poco metidos de re-lleno, sin ir al compás de la música. 2,5 / 5. Disco Correcto, sin más.

Great!

Lo disfruté mucho, es el tipo de rock que sí me gusta, yo digo. Muy de soundtrack, me lo imagino en las tardeadas de los jóvenes setenteros. Sobre todo, me gustó a partir de "Don't Cha Stop". Mis favs quizá "You're All I've Got Tonight" y "Moving In Stereo". Creo que alguna vez ya había escuchado algo de The Cars, pero muy contento de escuchar este álbum. 9/10

This album impressed me like Thatcher scares tories. Didn’t do much for me

Let the good times roll

Grand, some decent songs on it but not sure if I'd bother listening again.

Año 1978. 9 canciones y menos de 36 minutos. Me sigue impresionando lo poco que se necesitaba en esa época para completar un LP. El arranque ya merece la pena y suena realmente moderno incluso más de 40 años después. Comenzar con "Good times roll", "My best friend's girl" y "Just what I needed" sobre todo esta última a la que tanto le deben los Weezer.

Already listened! A personal favorite

This sounds very of the era to me, perhaps its why its on this list. Its not something I personally would seek out and listen too again. I can appreciate the popy and catchy songs for what they are. Perhaps I am just a simpleton but this album like a few others did not surprise me in anyway. Perhaps I am not understanding the purpose of the list. Top 3 Bye Bye Love, You're all I got Tonight, and Good Times Roll 2of5

Rock indie

Un trois étoiles mais un bon 3 étoiles. Avec des tounes plus Upbeat come Don't Cha Stop ou catchy comme Bye Bye Love. Je suis surpris qu'ils n'aient pas vraiment de gros hit à leur actif.

Groundbreaking and fun. Perfect little album.

80s classic rock / dad rock. It's a good album without any filler (literally zero filler), but I couldn't keep myself from picturing old dudes saying "now this is REAL rock and roll" the whole time I listened to it

Forgettable

I recognized quite a few popular songs on here, so they have to get credit for that. Overall not bad. I think in the right environment this would be fun music, but sitting at my desk during work isn't that environment.

Lovely album, every song flowed nicely and connected to eachother

I liked this more than I thought I would. Still don't like the songs where they bring in the backing vocalists, but the music is solid. Ric Ocasek's voice doesn't really help much.

Niceee

One of the greatest new wave albums. First three songs are perfect pop songs. 8/10

Straight jams back to back.

first 3 bangers, the next one is weird, the rest have some diamonds in the rough. solid album

Pretty classic late 70s

Didn’t realize I knew so much about Cars

The cars. Yes

honestly a banger

Another awesome selection from the generator. We do just what I needed in the band I’m in. Love the cars. Such feel good music

The cars sound like the cars

classic

This was more enjoyable than I Initially expected. A decent rock album.

Top three Cars album, but the bar is pretty high. It's probably the one most packed with hits, so maybe just a tad over-played for me? Either way, can't get enough of that guitar tone....

Meh.

Holy cats, so many singles. I didn’t expect to like this album as much as I did. I’m still surprised at how thoughtful the music itself was of pop music from this era, far more interesting than contemporary pop music.

I like

Aye this is a banger, I think it would be a 5 but it does dip pretty hard in the middle

Was hoping this would come up. So cool. It’s looking forward but so much of it is 70s af. Big hit.

I like it, I like it a lot. I think my ratings got messed up and I began rating things too high Whatever, this is still a four

fuck yeah

Solid classic rock album - added 3 tracks to 'the highway' playlist

Knew more tracks on this than I thought!

Incredible. One of the best debut albums of all time.

I’m fairly certain I’ve heard every song from this album in classic rock radio at some point. It turned the Cars into megastars in the 70s into the 80s and I can see why. Pop-rock radio friendly hits for the whole family. Got some cool guitar tones and synth sounds to boot. Favorite song: Just What I Needed Least favorite song: Bye Bye Love

Never knew about these guys. Pretty good!

Pretty generic classic rock, didn't feel like there was anything super special about it.

FUN cars

Seminal. Moving in Stereo moved me the most, interesting blend of prog rock and 80s synth sound.

Was ok

Not many individual highlights. Good album but did not catch my attention during the first listen.

I don't know any music by The Cars so this was my first time hearing them and I am not impressed.

Really fun rock album with several classics.

I thought this was just okay. Nice tone to it though

false

Fave Song: Good Times Roll

da riascoltare!

4-5

This album is so good. No skips. Every song is so fun and iconic, this album is one of my favorites of all time

Wall to wall bangers.

A great one from my youth.

Knew all the songs, but first time listening to it as it was meant to be listened to, I did them wrong for so many years. Really 3.5 but I guess I have to round up.

Cool transition record from 70s rock to 80s rock, but too heavy with hits and has a hard decline after that

I've never heard of this album, but apparently its the soundtrack for every movie ever. Some real bangers in there though.

Some great songs but looooots of filler.

What a great, great album.

A fun, catchy album. You can really hear how this album would go on to influence the synth, new wave pop of the 80's.

We put 80s in your 80s music. Nice rhythm guitar, nothing to complain about.

It's nice but a bit repetitive I found. Especially the lyrics. I enjoyed and then quickly got bored of most songs. Had a second listen and really liked it

One of my favorite albums of all time, perhaps my favorite pop album of all time. Just an absolute titan from beginning to end 5/5

Definitely a staple sound back then, I love this punk rock mixed with some funky tunes

Fedt pop album med flere gode ørehængere på. Skal lyttes på igen. Nogle af numrene er måske lidt for lette, men overordnet godt

A lot of classics on this album

Reminds me of my childhood and made me think about the great relationships I have and had with all of my family members and how great full I am for that. I am also very stoned and thinking about quitting my job.

Classic. Great songs and sounds.

Great album, you can tell this inspired so many future rock bands. The mixing and mastering really is excellent, every track is polished and catchy.

Actually 3.5 stars but I liked it way more than I thought I would

Hit after hit! Awesome

Good album, fun band.

Ok, so.... this is New Wave. BUT. It's also full of iconic tracks for a reason. The Cars might be the best of the new wave movement. Good Times Roll, My Best Friend's Girl, You're All I've Got Tonight, Just What I Needed... monsters of the era. It's synthy but not bloopy. And the guitar tones on You're All I've Got Tonight and Bye Bye Love are killer no matter the genre. It's got an edge and an energy that is just missing from the vast majority of new wave albums. I expected to hate it but didn't. Solid album.

Some classic dad rock anthems on this jawn

Everything the 80s got right

Classic rock

Kinda boring. Too pop-rock-y

Forget how much of their songs I know until I’m listening to their albums

I guess you’re just what I needed!

no more albums by men society has progressed past the need for albums by men
