Parallel Lines

I came in heavily biased to this one, and really wanted to let loose with a 5. Blondie is a blind spot for me that's always seemed ripe for uncovering some real tasty gems that perhaps even the most elitist music snobs wouldn't fuck with because they were massively successful and led by a woman. I held my hand out with 5 fat stars. It was there for Blondie to take. Hit play. Blondie didn't want the 5. By the middle of the album Blondie reached in for the stars but I quickly pulled my hand back to my hair and said "too slow!" I gave a star away to my neighbor who stopped by for dinner. I put another star on the WalMart grill and cooked it for 45 minutes. Blondie pretended not to care about the leftover stars. I think we're all just ok with how things worked out. B-

Everyone knows all the Blondie staples, most of us don't realise they all lived on one album. This might be one of the best albums ever created. I forget how great this stuff is, it's not until you sit and pay attention that you realise how awesome it is. Not a bad track in the bunch.

What a terrific album. Front to back, every song on here is worth listening to - Debbie Harry's voice is fantastic and oscillates seamlessly between the punk-ier vibes of a song like 'One Way or Another' to the lighter, airy vibes of songs like 'Fade Away and Radiate' or 'Heart of Glass'. The album ends perfectly with the delightfully melodic and catchy 'Just Go Away'. Worth many, many listens.

The perfect pop rock album. Blondie is mostly seen as the epitome of early New Wave alongside The Talking Heads and Devo, but they were able to blend countless genres in a way that was still consistent and accessible to most audiences. Beyond the synth-heavy New Wave, these tracks are full of power pop, punk, and pure rock. "Sunday Girl" takes inspiration from 60s R&B, while "Heart of Glass" is the perfect disco song despite contemporary resentment, and classic Buddy Holly is covered in the rockabilly "I'm Gonna Love You Too." Blondie would further show later skills in their reggae "The Tide is High" and hip hop "Rapture." One of the best track placements I've ever seen. Starts off with a banger of an intro, which is apparently a cover. It has all punk energy with appropriate synths and catchy lyrics (both chorus and verses). Then it just transitions straight into an even more intense and catchier classic, "One Way or Another" which is more rock and less punk, but matches the first track's strengths in every way. Things tone down slightly in "Picture This." I'm really glad that Debbie Gray is the vocalist of all these songs, she's able to sing to such a range of moods that it keeps the audience looking forward to each track. There is no filler in this album. Sure, there are tracks I'm not a huge fan of, but I still like them all, and in fact, I would listen to the majority on their own casually. That's how great all of them stand out. In case you're curious, the one song I'm indifferent about is "I Know But I Don't Know." I like the wacky vocals and sound that almost reminds me of Devo, but the beginning is a tad bit annoying, and the rock solo is generic, but I really like the last minute. I love how the album ends with two more punk-like tracks, as if there's no need for the full pop facade (excluding the "Just Go Away" rock solo), going back to punk roots. I probably would have swapped these two tracks since the Buddy Holly cover is a slightly better closer. Favorite tracks: One Way or Another, Picture This, Fade Away and Radiate, 11:59, Sunday Girl, Heart of Glass (I had trouble excluding some as my "favorite" cause nearly the entire album would be on here)

Debbie Harry, the legend! Blondie is cited so often as an '80s staple that I didn't realize they began making music in the '70s. This sounds a lot more rock-oriented than I expected, it makes me wish we'd get some other, older Blondie records on the list. Anyway, I dig this one. It's got two classic hits and plenty of excellent album cuts. Long live Debbie Harry. Favorite tracks: Heart of Glass, 11:59, One Way or Another, Sunday Girl, Hanging on the Telephone. Album art: Iconic. It's black and white without being black and white. Debbie front and center AS SHE SHOULD BE. Perfect color contrast, and the red font is great. This could be an all-timer. 4.5/5

Obvi so good! And finally a strong female presence!

I came into this album expecting the hits to be good and the deep tracks to be mediocre and uninteresting, but man was I wrong. I loved how different each song was and how different the lead singer sounded in each song. Blondie shows off her true talent in this album that I didn’t know she had. Also the guitar work and production on this album are solid. This album stays interesting throughout making it the perfect length.

A perfect Pop Rock album? Definitely a solid track list with timeless classics like "One Way or Another" and "Heart of Glass" but solid gold behind it like "Hanging on the Telephone" and "Sunday Girl", though for that song you should make sure you get the Frenglish version that inexplicable s'est mis au français à mi-chemin. Pourquoi? Je n'en ai aucune idée, c'est vraiment super mimi et bien plus tard Zooey Deschanel a repris cette chanson avec She & Him et elle correspond parfaitement à son esthétique. Mais je m'égare... 4 étoiles

I've come to the conclusion that Blondie sounds like something you'd hear playing at your local worn-down rock pub. 'Heart of Glass' and 'One Way Or Another' are a step up and really catchy songs, the rest I could do without. Not consistent enough to warrant any higher rating really, so will have to land in the middle.

Nr. 144/1001 Hanging On The Telephone 3/5 One Way Or Another 3/5 Picture This 3/5 Fade Away And Radiate 3/5 Pretty Baby 2/5 I Know But I Don't Know 2/5 11:59 3/5 Will Anything Happen 3/5 Sunday Girl 3/5 Heart Of Glass 4/5 I'm Gonna Love You Too 3/5 Just Go Away 3/5 Average: 2,92 New-Wave is just a genre I can't seem to really enjoy.

Parallel Lines The best of Blondie was one of the official minidisc albums I got when I got my minidisc player for Christmas in 1998. Nothing to do with Parallel Lines but whenever I hear Blondie I think about that Minidisc player. Sweet memories aside this album is just a terrific rush of pop perfection, right in the sweet spot of new wave, disco, reggae, pop, power pop, little bits of country and rock, with a slightly crazy number of classic bangers: Hanging on the Telephone, One Way or Another, Picture This, Fade Away & Radiate, Pretty Baby, Sunday Girl, Heart of Glass, I’m Gonna Love You To. Some of the less famous songs are great as well, I Know but I Don’t Know has a great seedy pop snark to it, 11.59’s slight doo wop wedded to power pop is super, Will Anything Happen is an excellent bit of new wave vaguely rockabilly synth pop and Just Go Away is a lovely bit of attitude. All bangers, all the time 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 Playlist submission: Heart of Glass the obvious one, but I love Fade Away & Radiate.

Loved this Album. Debbie Harry has such a powerful voice and she wasn’t afraid to be different in a very tumultuous time for rock and roll, and thus helped to influence a revolution. Add that to Chris Stein’s unique guitar compositions and you have a band that was made to break the mold of rock in the 70s and open up a new era of punk and pop rock music.

Probably the band's best album. It's got most of the band's hits, and they're great, but it also shines with its lesser known songs. The album is just a great listen from start to finish. Debbie Harry has a wonderful range, from a little rasp that shines through when she gets louder to the soft whispers in the quieter moments.

What I took away from my most recent listen was irrepresible urgency. If you don't answer, she'll ring your phone right off the wall. To get ya, she'll follow your bus downtown (and spy you in the supermarket buying rat food?!). She'll "wait until morning [to] take tomorrow by the hand" because "today can last another million years". She wants you to make it, but if you do "will anything happen?" For these fatefully spirirted youngsters Something. Must. Always. Be. Happening. We're all dying to live, rushing straight ahead in our own parrallel lines. This catalsym of sexual, intellectual and emotional energy is the sound of those lines converging.

This is just a really good album. High points include the hits ("One Way or Another" and "Heart of Glass"), and tracks like "Hanging on the Telephone" and "Fade Away and Radiate" (I hear Fripp, I like). I've been listening to it repeatedly for several days now and I keep noticing all kinds of great touches and I'm not remotely getting tired of it. Most albums I rate as a 5 really have some aspect that blows me away and I can't say this album has that, but it's just good start to finish. That's worth a 5 also.

fantastic. so re-listenable. he voice is everything

- 'Hanging on the telephone' is a good opener - Did NOT know 'One Way or Another' was their song, ICONIC!! - 'Picture This' really conveys what I want in life: "All I want is 20/20 vision" - 'Fade Away and Radiate', 'Pretty Baby','11:59' - very good run - HEART OF GLASS IS ALSO THEIRS AND FROM THE SAME ALBUM??? WHAT?? How in the world have I never heard their name? Another ICONIC song!!!! - 'Once I Had A Love' may I use the word iconic again?? Never heard of Blondie before, but today I can surely say what an amazing album this is, of course the word to summarize it all is definitely ICONIC, the only reason it didn't had 5 stars is that it could be done without one or two songs that were subpar but overall GREAT

Really solid album. It starts of strong right from the get go. A ton of catchy tracks on here as well, especially Heart of Glass. It does have a few songs, that didn't catch my attention, as some of the other tracks did, but none of them were terrible. Definitely listening to it again.

Debbie Harry spent most of her career looking down her nose at her audience like she was so much cooler and better than them. Well... it's because she was. The band aren't far behind her either. Every note played is impressively tight in a way that many bands weren't able to be before click-tracks, sequencers and time-alignment. Slick, energetic, fun, and never outsays its welcome.

If you don't like this album you hate women I'm sorry

Parallel Lines is the album where Blondie transcended the NYC punk scene and became one of the biggest pop groups in the world. They didn't abandon that aggressive, slightly weird, punk/new wave ethos of previous albums but built on it, with more emphasis on their Phil Spector 'Wall of Sound' influences, which had always been there but really fill out the soundscape on this album. There isn't a bad song here and so many hits it is like a best of - Hanging on the Telephone, One Way or Another, Picture This, 11:59, Sunday Girl, Heart of Glass - all of them played by a really tight band, Mike Chapman's '60s pop production, great drumming, crunchy guitars and, in Deborah Harry, the most charismatic, captivating front woman in rock and pop history!

Masterpiece of new wave music. Almost a greatest hits album

I first heard Blondie on the Muppet Show when I was a child in around 1981, but let's not dwell on that. When I was teenager, my mate Shawn's parents had a caravan at Kendall's Beach, near Kiama, and they kindly let Shawn and his friends (including me, Philippa, Tim, Jessica, Irina, and few others) head down there for the occasional weekend, unsupervised. We were generally a well-behaved bunch, and didn't get up to much trouble beyond splitting a bottle of lambrusco between of us (which is not a lot of cheap wine per person). We would often go hang out at the pizza place at Surf Beach, just over the headland, eat pizza and feed coins into the jukebox. A vinyl jukebox was almost an anachronism by then, so it was a bit special. They didn't update the singles very often, if at all, so it usually had the same reliable songs available whenever we visited, including a bunch of Blondie singles. We always played the Blondie singles. Always. When Shawn and Tim and I formed a band a few years later, we mostly played (terrible) originals, but Heart of Glass was a regularly featured cover. As a result, I mainly think of Blondie as a singles band. The Best of Blondie is a guaranteed good time, and a record I keep in my DJ crates for dance floor emergencies. They had a magnificent streak of amazing pop singles through the late 70s into the early 80s. I own a few of their albums (including Parallel Lines) but I rarely play them because I live under the misapprehension that they just were a singles band, and that the albums are full of filler. So, giving Parallel Lines a proper listen today was quite a surprise. Blondie _are_ a phenomenal singles band, and they were at the height of their powers here. There were six (SIX!) singles released from the album, and they are all pretty great (with chart-topper Heart of Glass the clear standout). But even the album tracks are pretty damn strong. This is a really consistent album of power pop all the way through. The songs are awash with hooks and strong melodies and a beat you can bug out to. The covers are well chosen and sit well with the originals. Their cover of Buddy Holly's 'I'm Gonna Love You Too' is my deep cut discovery from this listen (although, in fairness, it was released as a single. I didn't know that). Mike Chapman had a hard time wrangling the famously undisciplined band into playing, you know, _well_, which he managed to do without smoothing off all their energetic edges. The band is muscular and taut and melodic. Debbie Harry's vocals are tough and expressive and charismatic, even if not always technically perfect. Charles Shaar Murray famously wrote in a 1975 overview of the CBGB's scene that Debbie Harry was cute, but lacking star power. By 1978, I'm sure he was eating his words. Fade Away and Radiate is a bit of the odd track out, and I understand why some people don't like it, but I love the moody weirdness, embellished by Robert Fripp and his idiosyncratically Fripp-y guitar playing. Always love a bit of Robert Fripp. Based on this listen, I am prepared to re-evaluate my prejudices about Blondie. They were an outstanding singles band, one of the best of all time, _and_ capable of producing high quality pop albums as well. All killer, no filler (as they say). Five stars.

As a female who plays bass and loves tempo experiments, this album has been a favourite for years now. I've tried today to analyse why. It's Blondie's 3rd album, and it shows in its confident production and aural layering. Thematically they're still experimenting, not settling on one emotion or vibe for too long. Listening through headphones I can hear multiple understated stabby guitars & sparkly synths. The bass has a really fun bouncing energy in most tracks (which is guaranteed to hook me). Several of the songs have a schoolyard teasing vibe ("nyer nyer!"), especially noticeable in One Way Or Another after the lyrics change from "I'm gonna getcha" to "I'm gonna lose ya". This is a band that doesn't take themselves too seriously :) But then! Oh, they follow up with Picture This, a sweet nostalgic longing, with a hint of desperation. Heart of Glass is wonderfully polished, with a trip hazard in the first half of the bridge where the tempo loses a beat (7/8 time not standard 4/4): a reminder that life isn't smooth & predictable, so take care not to drop & shatter the heart. To follow this up with I'm Gonna Love You Too and its wild, unrestrained, loose energy is just lovely. My favourite of the Blondie albums, and when my vinyl wears out from overuse I'll be replacing it for sure :)

Fantastic album. It starts with a phone ring and then punches straight into Hanging on the telephone. One of the best "intros" of any album. The album continues with a mix of punk and new wave, fast and slow. All in all, a very well put together album.

This was one of the very first albums I bought - actually my brother bought it, I bought ELO's Discovery, the only time he has demonstrated better taste. Only two things to note on one of the easiest 5 star reviews: I never knew that Hanging on the Telephone was a cover until very rcently, and you need to make sure your copy has the 5:50 disco mix of heart of Glass and not the single edit some early pressings of both vinyl and CD use (including my brother's copy I quickly inherited and still have).

What an album - really torn between 4 and 5 - the non-hits probably a bit too weak for 5, but the hits are exceptional!

Blondie are absolute icons of new wave, and I'd honestly argue that Heart of Glass is one of the greatest singles of all time. There are plenty of other great singles here too: One Way Or Another, Hanging On The Telephone, and Sunday Girl. Ultimately, I see Blondie as a singles band, and that's where this album falters just slightly - a bit too much filler between the hits.

Debbie Harry does not disappoint here. Solid album across the board. Heart of Glass is still a banger - a childhood song that still lands. The rest of the album is very good, not quite a 5, but a solid 4 for me. I find myself wishing for more granularity in the scoring on this site. For example, this one would be like a 4.3 for me (which like a 3.6) is still a 4. So it is what it is. Surprise songs were Sunday Girl and 11:59. Enjoyable listen.

have listened before a classic! fav: heart of glass

I think I remember my dad introducing me to Blondie. What I definitely remember is not knowing that Blondie were a band, and thinking that that was just Debbie Harry's real name. It should be tbh. Iconic. Songs added to playlist: - Hanging On The Telephone - One Way Or Another - Heart Of Glass - Just Go Away

Glittery pop-rocking set of songs. “Heart of Glass” makes me happy. The rest is solidly enjoyable.

Some fillers, but enough killers to make this an pleasent listening

Not my jam but way better than what I’ve been served lately 3.4/10

Tough one as I'm a bit ambivalent about Blondie. Parallel Lines rightfully deserves its classic status and boasts a handful of cracking hit singles. Somehow though, for me, that still doesn't add up to an album I want to have on heavy rotation. So, I enjoy hearing it now and then but not really enough to compel me to score it more highly.

Didn't hate it. 2.7

Part of me wanted to like this bit I didn't that much

Way more punk rock than I was expecting. The singles naturally stood out, heart of glass is a great song. Catchy and warm throughout, but very “of the time” sounding. Still enjoyed but probably wouldn’t listen to it again.

This was a good album. I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it again, but it wasn't bad. The hits are classic ofc, and there weren't any necessarily bad songs. Just kinda a regular album.

Pretty enjoyable even outside of the obvious hits. Can't say it's something I'd listen to off-hand, but pleasant overall.

I think that this sat in an overall mediocre position, great singles, consistent sound, but samey, and not a ton of interesting stuff going on.

The highs are smashing but the lows are disappointingly bland on this one. 'Heart of Glass' still slays though

One Way or Another ist ein Banger

A few good bops does not a good album make. The thought that came to mind while listening was "Isn't there six people on this album cover? Six people and they can't make more interesting music?" 2/5

Honestly wasn’t really that good besides the iconic songs

Just two hits, rest of the songs totally boring

New wave sucks, that's been established. Blondie isn't a very good band, and they're in a genre that sucks. There isn't much substance to anything here, including the singles. The non-single tracks are bog standard late 70s crud. But Debbie Harry is a fucking babe, so an extra point for that. 2/5.

Honestly, despite the hits like Heart of Glass and One Way or Another, not that good of an album. Was disappointed:/

Overfamiliarity with the (admittedly great) singles added to some fairly meh album tracks means an entertaining-enough but ultimately pretty shallow experience.

2 hit wonder. Pass

banger

ugh i love blondie

Blondie is honestly unmatched. When the tone of Sunday Girl kicks in that’s just kinda the peak of music ya know. To then lead into heart of glass holy moly. If i don’t get to hear call me at any stage of this project im gonna scream*. * it’s a single 😩

New Blondie fan!! Another classic review of mine where I’ve finally connected songs I’ve heard before to a name. Had never heard Pretty Baby before though and it’s the first song in all of this list’s listening to reach instant repeat on a loop status. I wish I hadn’t just read that it’s about a 13 yo Brooke Shields, but musically it’s addictive!

You don’t /really/ need me to explain this, do you? The Bang a Gong cover was a nice treat 😌

Wow another album with a women, I was beginning to think Kate bush might be the only one on the list.

Classy stuff. The well known tracks are truly excellent and the album as a whole is first rate. Great compositions and vocals. Distinctive and quality sound. Definitely one for the desert island discs list, difficult to pick out a favourite track. So good.

Banger after BANGER

#40/1001 🇺🇸 What an absolute belter of an album. I'm rating albums musically, but this also has an iconic cover too. Where to start? Side one is pretty much perfect, the first 2 tracks are fast and furious, then we've got a Picture This - lyrically brilliant, an unsettling love letter. Fade Away... gives old movie nostalgia and Pretty Baby is perfect pop. I know but i don't know has a heavy hypnotic riff and whilst its not one of their best known tracks i think its a belter. Moving on to side 2 we have paranoia and dread in the brilliant 11.59. Sunday Girl is power pop and Heart of Glass absorbs the disco influence of the time. Just Go Away is another big favourite of mine too. This album really catches the band at a pivotal moment in their career, moving from punkers to mainstream power pop. I love Debbie Harry's vocals on this record - ranging from a gravelly growl to ethereal cool. Best tracks: Picture This, Fade Away And Radiate, Heart of Glass, Just Go Away, Hanging On The Telephone, 11.59. I mean pretty much the whole album.

Amazing! Split between a 4-5. There were some AMAZING nostalgic songs on here.

I’m a big fan of Blondie. They were part of the New Wave movement. Heart of Glass was a huge hit.

Before this I had heard of the name Blondie, but that was pretty much the extent of my knowledge. Then I saw all the names of the songs on this album. All the hits. All bangers all the time, even the ones I had never heard before.

Ripping fun. Instant mood lifter.

Debbie is such a great fronter and the band keeps every song feeling fresh. A great album for almost any mood or occasion

So fun

If this is not a 5, what is? Deathless bangers.

No question that this gets a 5

While Blondie are worshiped now as punk icons, my first memory of hearing them dates from the summer of 78 (best year ever, once again) when my only source of music was top-40 radio. How did they pull that off? (The same way Nirvana did--accessible songs and cute singer.) Totally holds up. Heart of Glass is a miracle, underwear ad notwithstanding, and I love 11:59.

Classic

Absolutely love this album. Bought this as a teenager and listened to it constantly. Just a perfect album.

GOAT TRULY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Longest yeahh boiiiiiii.mp3 So so great. The opening 3 tracks are just sheer excellence and the rest just builds to Heart of Glass and you're like... damn. Debbie Harry. Unreal woman.

*Great pre-punk/pop album

Yes. Yes. Yes. Every song on this is Blondie at their best. One of my favourite new wave albums for a reason.

Самые лучшие хиты собранные под одной обложкой. Однозначно идет в плейлист любимого

One of the greatest albums of time.

Nice, really good

It took me by surprise just how good this album was , the sound is in your face straight up pop rock , with classics such as one way or another , picture this , the iconic heart of glass which sneaks in a very clever little 7/4 groove into the keyboard / singing break of the song Don’t hear that much often in a pop setting The songs are punchy well crafted with killer choruses and great instrumental breaks you can really hear the drummer clem Burke pounding those skins relentlessly with headphones on , another thing I like is the blend of the organ as well playing some nice higher register chords in the background to thicken the guitars out , To imagine this coming out at the time must be quite a revalation to think how it changed music and inspired bands and even today you’d be hard pressed to find a band that can produce a decent song structure like blondie and a good chorus so For me it deserves a solid 5 stars

Zweiundzwanzigstes Album, das ich schon kannte. Und dann ist es noch eins, das ich mir gelegentlich anhöre. Was soll man sagen: Keine schlechten Songs und vor allem gegen Ende wird es nochmal richtig stark. Durchgängige Atmosphäre, ohne dass die Songs zusammenfließen und es macht einfach Spaß und gute Laune. Sogar das Albumcover ist genial.

After 17 days, I am finally blessed with the voice of a woman. Debbie Harry and Blondie have a number of hits and most of them are featured on this record. A collection of power pop, disco influence, punk, mixed with notes of hard rock this record offers a diverse collection of songs ranging from the doo wop loveliness of Sunday Girl to the tension building and never-ending crescendo of Heart of Glass, the broad spectrum of feelings and musical presence of the band supporting Debbie Harry’s vocals makes for a phenomenal listening experience. There’s a reason why many of these songs are considered classics. To have them all on one album is phenomenal.

If I were to rate this off of the bonus tracks it would get a 3, maybe 4 out of 5. But considering it’s off the remastered edition, I’m going to be lenient. I hate when they add bonus stuff to records. I get the sentiment… but to rate the album that has additional poor live performances will inevitably make me like the record less. Imagine listening to a Nirvana record and hearing the bonus and horrible live performances. If you are a die hard fan, I’m sure those are welcomed. But it does take away from the record as a whole. But back to Blondie. This record was perfect. Every song was enjoyable. There is a song on here called I Know But I Don’t Know and it sounds exactly like a Rush song. Which is either kind of cool… or dumb. But it’s different enough within the song to feel like it isn’t stolen, or an homage if anything. Anyways…. Great record. Great riffs. Great rhythm section. Great vocals and lyrics. The singles are world wide recognized. I miss this type of rock and roll.

What a great album!

Awesome. Didn't know so many of the classics were on one album.

Hanging on the Telephone, One Way or Another, and Picture This are an amazing opening sequence, only to be followed by Heart of Glass and Sunday Girl towards the end. Which isn't to say it lags in between, but three songs in they've already covered more breadth and versatility than most albums, and just warming up. Its anything but parallel lines, it's a twisty turny rollercoaster and Debbie, Clem et al are gleefully squeezing your hands as you ride along.

GREAT listen. I didn't think I would enjoy this, but I really did. Every song was a banger. I will gladly listen to this one again.

I remember listening to One Way and Heart of Glass with my cousins, since my uncle had this album, but I never remember listening to the full thing. I thought I'd rate it a 4 but I have to bump it up to a 5. I forget how powerful Debbie Harry's voice is.

On a re-listen this album is much worse, but I still think it's good because although an unconventional choice I think "Sunday Girl" is a top 100 song of all time.

Incredible album of rock and great for its time. A couple of classics and very raw but tidy. Forgot about the oasis cigarrettes and alcohol innovation. Is a solid 9

loooooooove this album 10/5

Banger after banger after banger

At last. A five star album. Remember it coming out. Bought it on vinyl recently. It almost lost a star for the poor ending to each side. But everything else is perfect. Packed with hits plus 11:59 - probably my favourite song on the album

Very good

I was sceptical about listening to this again as I thought it wouldn’t have the impact of when I first listened to it. I think it benefited from my not having listened to it for a while. I don’t think there is not a bad track on the album. There are the obvious singles but my personal favourite is Fade Away and Radiate, which brings a welcome touch of melancholy to the album. The drummer seemed to be having a great time too.

Absolute bangers

Before listening to this I only knew some of the most popular songs but now I wish I'd listened to more sooner! This album has such great variety and definitely some catchy hits!

had this on one side of a bootleg cassette and Eat to the Beat on the other in elementary school and I still love these songs to this day. 6 stars.

classic: one way or another heart of glass once i had a love love it!

Finally some good fu king music. I can see why the popular songs off this album are the well-known ones, but the others are still worthwhile. Great sound, great energy, iconic performances.

Discovered two new liked songs and rediscovered Hanging on the Telephone. 5 favorited songs and a reminder of how powerful Debbie Harry's voice can be...5/5.

An iconic album that lives up to the status. Starts off hot, and doesn't really let up after that.
