.
A truly wonderful album.
Didnt know they were the people that sang "one way or another" song.
Not bad, but not my jam.
Competent pop rock. Not sure what else to say...
Some bangers
Meh, never really got it.
Not a huge Blonde fan but can appreciate this
Oldies but goodies - heart of glass & one way or another . Great upbeat voice and good lyric writing
The very best songs are some of the best pop songs ever which makes some of the weaker songs stand out like a sore thumb.
A singles album really, with a mix of great and shite.
absolute fire. such a great album, and it had a lot of Blondie's hits on it
Meh
That was really good but not great
Obvi so good! And finally a strong female presence!
Delightful Punk pop from one of acts that defined the genre. Starts strong, definitely drops off a little and then picks right back from track 9 onward. 4/5 as the good bits are bloody great.
"I'm in the phone booth, it's the one across the hall If you don't answer, I'll just ring it off the wall" (Hanging on the telephone) "All I want is a room with a view A sight worth seeing A vision of you All I want is a room with a view" (Picture this) "Today can last another million years Today could be the end of me It's 11: 59, and I want to stay alive" (11:59) "Don't be cruel Be a thing - sweet thing As a rule" (Just go away) El meme de Gordon Ramsay diciendo "Finally, Some Good Fucking Food".
Blondie is class
From 78 and not sounding old. Some hits. Voice with style
Lo logró esa banda

Ótimo Álbum, New Wave bom pra quem tem preconceito começar a ouvir.
Fun album! A couple of hits along with some new ones that I liked as well. One Way or Another and Heart of Glass are both fantastic classics and I enjoyed Sunday Girl as well. After yesterday, this was a welcome change of pace and I'm digging the album cover as well! A beautiful lady surrounded by many similar looking white men. Look at all the parallel lines!
Perfect pop
How do you turn off One Way or Another and a Heart of Glass? Though a lot more of the album just sort of passes me by.
Hh
Well produced, diverse set of tracks that I'd be happy to hear on the radio, but would never feel like putting on myself.
Not bad, has a couple of great songs.
Disco ameno y entretenido. Muy adelantado en su momento, lo que hace que siga sonando fresco a día de hoy. Incluye canciones que probablemente han sonado sin parar desde que se publicó el disco.
Was going for 4 stars, then Heart of glass came on late. Also liked Fade away and radiate, I know but I don’t know (Iggy Pop?). Diverse genres that rallies all pen types to write
Good solid album. Knew i'd like it and i did. It's a good un'
I really like Blondie. Their lyrics straddle that line between playful, serious, and contemporary commentary. I also think it sounds like they're having a lot of fun when they're making their music. This album has no filler and is a great one.
2 hit wonder. Pass
Plusieurs classiques. Un bon album, mais plus pour ces hits que l’ensemble. 3.25
I didn't mind this, but I still would change the channel I think if it was on the radio. its 2.5 stars for me but ill give it three because its one of the more different sounding 80's albums I have heard.
Best track - 11:59 Let down slightly by the last 3 tracks (not the live ones).
I once saw Blondie live, I thought It would be interesting but wasn't expecting to know most of the songs and for it to rock as hard as it did... this is a great and entretaining album that slaps
Some I recognised
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
4 - Ein Traum, würd eigtl ne 5 geben, aber 5er sehe ich nur bei Ausnahmealben. Trooootzdem so nice. Auch das One Direction cover geht ins ohr.
I don't like pop music. Ein paar songs kennt man wohl. Finds aber ehr mittelmäßig alles. Brauch ich nicht nochmal. Aber es war jetzt nicht bodenlos. Deshalb 2*
Na endlich mal ein Album, das man auch kennt. "One Way Or Another" oft schon mitgesungen. Auch wenns einige leidige Coverversionen gibt. "I Know, But I Don't Know" gibt mir auch etwas. "Will anything happen" beschreibt oft mein Gefühl für diverse Alben, die hier schon rezensiert werden mussten. Aber es passiert irgendwie nicht so viel. Alles in allem: Würd ich mir wohl schon nochmal anhören, aber haut mich auch nicht von den Socken.
This was REALLY good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Classic pop rock I reckon. I think the hits (and there were many on this album) are the hits for a reason... but other other songs were still fun, but didn't necessarily stick with me
typical music idk
I liked this more than Tracy Chapman, and One Way or Another still goes so hard. Did find one or two I really enjoyed.
The singles are great. Rest of the album ranges from pretty good to middling. 6/10

I always thought that One Way Or Another was a one hit wonder. It was interesting to hear their other songs
I mean, it's the best Blondie album. Call Me?!
Love the vocals. Really good new wave music. Lots of classic songs.
Classic Blondie's best songs
knew like 2 songs. cool sound. not fitting for doing art. too hectic and gives off socialising vibes
Lots of greats
Damn, these guitar sounds sound fresh. Love her expressive vocals. "11:59" sounded like a deleted scene from Grease. Largely really liked this - more than enough to make me want to listen to more Blondie. That alternate version of Heart of Glass (Once I Had Love) was freaking dope.
A few big hits
It's a fine album, but nothing that made me be like "yassss!!"
much wow
Fun pop album with some rock vibes
fun early pop punk
This album had a couple classics and a few other good songs. Solid!
Quality
I don’t have a ton to say about this one, probably should have paid closer attention to it, but a good listen, wouldn’t mind coming back to it.
First album on the list, hard to rate. Enjoyed it, interesting history to heart of glass (disco vs original). One way or another most recognizable track.
Kule trommer, mye mer punk enn jeg trodde. Raspete stemme
C'mon, it's Blondie! This is the kind of power pop with emotion, and a very distinct voice that I feel deserves it's place on so many record shelves to this day. Favorite song, Heart of Glass.
nah
Looking at this bbn playlist I wondered if I was going to recognize anything other than One Way or Another. Heart of Glass was the only other familiar song. This album came out considerably earlier than I would have thought. The musical style of many of the songs I didn't particularly recognize surprised me
Stuff from my youth.
My favorite Blondie album and one of Maya's favorite albums as well. It's in constant rotation at my house. Practically plays like a greatest hits album. Listened to non-remastered version and prefer it.
Some high highs and low lows on this album. The Blondie hits on this one are good, but there are a lot of songs that don't really need to exist on the album as well.
Klassiker! Låtarna man inte känner igen är väl inte king direkt, men fortfarande godkända.
Decent album, Debbie Harry has such a lovely voice!
Why don't people put Blondie on the same type of pedestal they put Madonna? I'm disappointed this was not the album with Rapture. Heart of Glass is the best of the album.
The album that bridged power pop and CBGBs for the masses. Had two huge hits on it and was solidly produced. The instrumentation on this album is really good for music of this type. Blondie is always really good to come back to at any time. Favorite song: Heart of Glass Least favorite song: Sunday Girl
Stylistically inconsistent and occasionally annoying, but hasn't aged poorly and was still quite fun.
Enjoyable. Little too "pop" for my tastes for the most part. Heart of Glass really hard carries this album.
Bottle blonde at best.
fantastic. so re-listenable. he voice is everything
Better then I thought it would be. Lots of songs on there that I knew of but didn't know they made. Lots of classics on it. Some songs were a bit dated/weren't my style but most of them still bangs.
Good upbeat sound
Nice guitar tone, good melodies, nice lines sung, kept it on repeat.
Pretty great album, some great summer tappers on there. Check it out for some songs to play in the sun
It's a banger that's for sure
Best of new wave, banger after banger
Recognized one song, and liked that one the most out of the bunch. Not my cup of tea though
Have this on Vinyl. Love it!
Very nice !
blonde is a very talented song writer. This album has heart of glass. Other than that, a very average album.
eh
Honestly, despite the hits like Heart of Glass and One Way or Another, not that good of an album. Was disappointed:/
Pretty great rock+punk (and slightly new wave) sound. I enjoyed this album quite a bit, but not quite enough to give it 5 stars.
Excellent pop/rock record. Fantastic melodies and hooks, and the band is superb - really cool guitar parts set against a super tight rhythm section. A classic that still sounds great today.
I don't have a lot to say about his album either, but it's just really solid. Just when I start to feel like it's bogging down, they drop Heart of Glass, and it's amazing. This album doesn't really feel that dated either. If I didn't know who it was and you told me it was from the 80s or 90s, I would completely believe it.
nice dude
Awesome
Enjoyable for the most, especially some old favourites. 4.2/5.
rätt ösigt utan supercatchiga refränger
Really dig the last portion of the album
Good.
Overfamiliarity with the (admittedly great) singles added to some fairly meh album tracks means an entertaining-enough but ultimately pretty shallow experience.
Blondie’s awesome! Great album
Amazing
You know, this was surprisingly enjoyable. Not what I expected. It rides the edge of punk without ever quite getting there but it's entertaining not the less.
Blandet 70’er popmusik, flere gode numre
Got better as the album went on. Some really good melodies in there.
Fun pop album. I gotta say I like new wave Blondie better.
Pleasant. Upbeat. Perfect for a roadtrip. 7.5/10 F.T : Hanging on the Telephone
Classic
Not bad, not my taste. I would never desire to listen again.
Three and half stars
Great guitat album and awesome vocal performance (Fade Away and Radiate is my favorite) but i'm really getting tired of Heart of Glass. Some tracks are a bit skippable and are not that unique.
Quality pop
This is up there in the pantheons of pop rock... ace record!
Incredible songwriting, brilliant arrangements, combining punk, pop, disco and a bit of prog. The Strokes were taking notes!
Debbie, will you marry me?
