It's an okay rock album. Nothing stood out to me accept the hits which were really good. Just boring.

this is pretty objectively good

Staring with the five singles those are out of the gate bangers. There is a reason two of them are still major players on the radio 37 years later. Their cover of The Nerves' "Hangin' on the Telephone" deserves to be up there with "One Way or Another" and "Heart of Glass". (I do miss the French lryic on "Sunday Girl" which adorns their *Best of* Lp.) The other Jack Lee song "Will Anything Happen?" and the Frip enhanced "Fade Away and Rotate" are great stand out tracks. Most of the rest feel a bit like filler comparatively, but they do a great job covering Buddy Holly and "11:59" has great energy. (8.8) ★★★★

Not my favourite style, but I think Debbie Harry is a really good vocalist. I love "Heart of Glass", bit I have never liked "One Way or Another". 4 stars

Blondie's always been my least favorite band that came out of the CBGB scene in the 70s. I do think there's some good songs here -- I always liked "One Way Or Another" and their cover of "Hanging on the Telephone", and even though I've heard it a million times, "Heart of Glass" is a good tune. I think the rest of the album is kind of a mixed bag for me. 3.5 stars.

Very strong 3.5. You have a spate of bona fide pearly classic singles amongst of which the shimmery sleek discoey Heart Of Glass is my favourite. And Debbie Harry is on pretty delicious top form throughout. One of the coolest front ladies. But then besides that you have a strong delineation of quite firmly so-so new wavey filler. The white lines on the album cover were all actually filled in with Poly Filla. Definitely a top 1001 album cover and probably a top 1001 as well.

Power-pop masterpiece and their best album. 5 stars.

3 songs: 5 stars the rest: 1-2 stars Album: 3 stars

The album is really good from the musical standpoint. Every member of Blondie makes the album sound great and the production is top notch. However I found that the album was too long for the type of music it's about (Spotify told me it was 16 tracks) and halfway through it, I lost interest in it.

A bit of punk-type guitar stuff, but the vocals are amazing, and really fit into a niche which I guess nobody else was hitting at the time. The synth stuff is also really cool and adds textures without really taking over the songs. Some songs are just ok though. Favourite songs: hanging on the telephone, picture this, fade away and radiate, Sunday girl, Heart of glass, Once I had a love, The T.Rex cover at the end is great too. Overall around 7/10

Surprisingly good album for a pop artist. It's a lot of fun to listen to but there is also a lot going on in the instrumentation and the raspy voice is iconic. I'm not going to call it anything ground breaking but you can see how an album like this inspired a lot of similar artists like Pink and Gwen Stefanie a couple of decades later. It's a lot more than just the hits too. This album doesn't take off any tracks and treats each song with a lot of creativity.

Parallel Lines показує, що Blondie чудово розуміли, як будувати поп музику, яка чіпляє, але при цьому, так повністю в ній і не розчинялись, зберігаючи панковий дух. Структурна чіткість, стриманий драйв, продумана простота — це той випадок, коли «хуковість» працює як інструмент виразності, а не як кліше. Майк Чепмен, продюсер альбому, допоміг гурту зібрати матеріал у щільний, фокусований набір — тут немає зайвого, і кожна пісня тримає слухача. Навіть умовно “прохідні” треки працюють на загальну динаміку, створюючи ефект цілісного, але різноманітного альбому. Звучання — чисте, але не стерильне. У вокалі Деббі Гаррі — іронічна відстороненість, яка додає пісням характеру. Альбом не перевертає уявлення про жанри - це просто гарний power pop/ поп-рок, насичений арт-панківським вайбом. Ну і звісно - диско, його елементів я також почув чимало. Він наочно демонструє, як у межах простих форм можна зробити щось унікальне - Дуже і дуже гарна робота. Між іншим, пісню Heart Of Glass більшість з вас точно чула в TikTok)

Bubbly, fun, and more rock driven than I expected. This was a really fun listen. There was no dip in quality throughout this album, but certain songs hit me was more than others. 11:59, Will Anything Happen, and Hanging in the Telephone were the big standouts for me and will be mainstay listens for me

Thumping new wave with disco influence and yet another classic album that Robert Fripp has turned up to offer a bit of texture to. What's not to like?

Random Blondie thoughts: I don't have a lot of vivid memories from my early childhood - probably because of a combination of trauma repression, general old age, and alcohol killing brain cells - but one of them is of lying in my parents' bed and watching Blondie sing "The Tide is High" on Solid Gold. That song is not on this album, of course, but it's usually the first thing I think of when this group is mentioned. The second is the hip-hop "pioneering" they did in "Rapture." And the third is that Maggie and I used to have fun doing "One Way or Another" on Rock Band 2 on the Wii. I had never listened to this album start to finish. Now I can die. (lol)

Extremely familiar with the hits but never listened to the whole album. Super fine. This album could come out today and be a critical smash.

I love how Blondie changes their sound and vibe through the album.

Amazing ALbum. Some classic hits and fun rock music!

Timely album. RIP Clem Burke. Wildly underrated drummer.

Solid album. Big hits.

Solid! Brought me back to the time when I owned the CD!

Great, several hits and has a nice feel

Punky pop rock at its most charming.

3 It’s ok. A few of the songs I remember from when I was I kid but it’s not really me. 2 or 3 out of 5

LOVED!!!!

pretty good

A classic new wave album. Lots of Blondie’s best songs are from here. Heart of Glass is a top tier song.

4 solid bangers, a couple snoozers that I could learn to love.

4.5/5 What a stellar voice! Debbie's ability to create a variety of sounds and moods is incredible. This album has such strong presence. "Hanging On The Telephone" is the perfect intro to the album with "One Way Or Another" following on its heels. "Picture This" provides a nice mood change while keeping the energy. "Fade Away And Radiate" gives such a rich sound to the album as a whole while "Pretty Baby" keeps the album light and fun. Anthem-like pop rock song "I Know But I Don't Know" has some funky sounds. "11:59" almost has a folky sound to it? Totally rocks though. "Will Anything Happen" has such a fun tone and drive that makes me want to dance. The overall upbeat mood of the album is kept by "Sunday Girl" and "Heart of Glass" while "I'm Gonna Love You Too" digs into those catchy, funky sounds. With its catchy melody, unique vocals, and synthy drive, "Just Go Away" is a great outro for the album.

Good album, lots of Blondie classics

absolutely a great album

One of the defining albums for punk/new wave. Very solid!

I knew a couple of Blondie songs going into this listen, and I was left a little underwhelmed by the album. One Way or Another and Heart of Glass were, of course, fantastic. I also loved Picture This. However, the other songs were just alright. I felt the sound of some of them began to feel slightly repetitive as the album progressed.

First time really listening to Blondie. Dug it a lot. Will go back and revisit.

Two classics on here but overall it was just an alright album.

Bought this on CD several years ago and genuinely thought it was a greatest hits. Fantastic LP

I liked some tracks a lot, but i wish it was more disco-y, apple music lied! I wonder if the recording on it is affecting my perception… feels kinda flat just like the talking heads

What a worthy addition! Parallel Lines is fun and energetic new wave. Every song is unique and brings a different vibe to the album. Their original "One Way or Another" song is so different from the many covers and I'm obsessed with the punk aspect. Debbie Harry's vocals aren't the quality of someone like Cher or Dionne Warwick, but god her imperfect vocals are rich, enticing, and aptly used in every song. I definitely noticed the influence Blondie had on other musical acts, No Doubt in particular. Gwen Stefani's early look cannot be a coincidence, considering Debbie Harry's iconic image.

Many of Blondie's most well known songs are straight from this album, and those songs alone are worth their weight in music gold. That said, the rest of this album which may be a bit lesser known to many casual listeners deserves its flowers, too! Blondie does a really good job here in the late 1970s of straddling several genres -- disco, pop, rock, punk, and new wave. And maybe even more impressive, they manage to do it all in their own style while sounding effortlessly cool, both in instrumentation and the irreplaceable voice of Debbie Harry. This isn't a band that is necessarily known for pioneering any sounds, but damn they sure knew how to take a sound and make it theirs, and "Parallel Lines" exemplifies that.

Rare, I know.

Mucho mistrust… good album

Classic album alert!

always really liked these albums .. i just dont think i understand CGBG at all... like the first band i associate with the club is the ramones (punk rock?) but so many other bands associated with the club are like pop rock bands like this ? random ass club

Absolute classic.

Wow I think the keyword is 'fun,'. This is a super fun record, filled with massive hit singles. For a pop record, it meshes a lot of different genres together. One of the best female frontmen ever. Just super fun Maybe one of the best so far. Heart of Glass is a stone cold classic. Sunday Girl is brilliant. All good

Starts off strong with hanging on the telephone and the guitar and instrumentation is really nice! ONE WAY OR ANOTHER IM GONNA FIND YAAA, omg so she sings this! I can’t believe I’m so uncultured and naive lmao. All I want is 20/20 vision, realest words ever spoken. Heart of glass is really good sort of funky but with elements of pop? I think I maaay have heard it before but still good!

I really enjoyed this one

Great album!

Really 3.5*, couple bangers rest solid, the sound you'd expect

Whew. This one is not for me. It was hard to get through it.

I know the hits, but nothing else. I'm liking the deep cuts, Fade Away and Radiate being a favorite. Great tack. I Know But I Don't Know is groovy, too. Several different styles blended together on this album. It's better than I thought it would be. Heart of Glass is an all-time great. This is a 4.1.

Chomping at the bit right out of the gate with power pop punk rock n' roll. They bring the energy, and keep it up with the hit "One Way or Another." I never noticed how the bass line keeps a country bounce through the verse while the drummer makes the whole song seem faster by playing a backbeat. There are some interesting turns on this with a short drum feature, an entirely different bridge, and a coda that is another melody line entirely until going back to a variation of the chorus. "Picture This" has a lighter sound. Though not reggae, I can hear Jimmy Cliff's "You Can Get It If You Really Want", and though not rock, I can hear the Stone's "Beast of Burden" in the verse melody. This and the slower follow up of "Fade Away and Radiate" finds Debbie Harry somehow channeling the 60's vocal styling of the likes of the Ronettes and Barbara Mason; classic, yet modern and edgy. The drummer's kickfoot gets a workout on "I Know But I Don't Know." Maybe it's just me, but main riff feels like it should be in 7/8; missed opportunity! Oooh, but they took it with the 7/4 in "Heart of Glass." I appreciate this project for forcing me to listen closely to some songs I've heard before and to find things I've overlooked. I can imagine Morissey singing a version of "11:59." This album keeps me guessing; it keeps evolving and re-inventing itself but never feels out-of-place or foreign. "I'd didn't expect them to do that, but it makes sense." Who else was doing anything remotely similar in 1978? This is peerless.

Love Blondie. Drummer Clem Burke just passed away. RIP. Faves on this album are "Hanging On The Telephone," "Fade Away and Radiate," and "Sunday Girl."

I liked this a lot. I've never listened to a Blondie album and was pretty impressed with this. Sunday Girl is one of the best melodies I've heard in a long time. Extremely memorable. Of course Heart of Glass is a monster of a song,.but then again I have a soft spot for disco. Debbie Harry is a great singer. I plan on listening through this album more.

Wonderful!! I love them. I had so many of these songs on the back of my mind. Even the Deep cuts (non singles) are great. I had to go after this and check out their Greatest Hits (2002) album to see how many songs I already knew. Turns out it was most of them. I think I like this band a lot, even if I never really paid attention to them. I even love Deborah's terrible rapping on Rapture. So awful but so iconic lol.

The best album I've heard all week. I'm definitely not exaggerating. Why didn't I listen to "Parallel Lines" sooner? Every song is very good at its worst. It's rare when the big hit is the least good. 5 stars for "Parallel Lines".

Wat de covers van verschillende songs van The Nerves al doet vermoeden, is deze plaat veel meer powerpop dan dat het al echt aanvoelt als de klassieke sound die we associëren met new wave. Ook de zoete thema's en de retro 50s en 60s esthetica neigen meer naar powerpop bands als Big Star en Badfinger. Maar dat het powerpop-formule uiteindelijk de deuren zou openen naar een meer futuristische new wave sound was wel duidelijk, zoals we horen in de dance pop classic 'Heart of Glass'. Het vroege werk van Elvis Costello en The Cars, bijvoorbeeld, deed precies hetzelfde. Enfin, we hebben het toevallig dit weekend meermaals gehad over deze plaat. Dat we even vergeten waren hoe iconisch hij is, op cultureel en esthetisch vla, en hoe erg het voelt als een 'biggest hits compilation' van Blondie. Er zitten wel wat fillers op, die het new wave genre soms laten bungelen op het randje tussen catchy en obnoxious ('I'm Gonna Love You Too, bijvoorbeeld), maar je kunt er zo 6 a 7 liedjes uithalen waarvan je best kunt beargumenteren dat het hun beste werk is. 11:59 is dat voor mij, zwaar underrated. Verdomd goed pop album. 8,5/10 Highlighs: Picture This Fade Away And Radiate 11:59 Heart of Glass

Godsarrie, wat werd er toch veel goeie muziek gemaakt in deze jaren. En Blondie was er vroeg bij, een powerpop plaat bij uitstek. En mooi deze timing nadat we het er afgelopen weekend een paar keer over hebben gehad. Debbie heeft iets zeer aantrekkelijks op deze hoes en ik vind ergens de zwart-wit blokjes/balkjes esthetiek van platen uit deze tijd (Specials met name) erg vet. Maar dat is alleen nog maar de buitenkant. Ook de binnenkant is aansprekend. De songs zijn energiek en doen wat een goede popsongs moeten doen. Ze zijn raak, vlug en catchy. Ze blijven hangen en verlangen ernaar om nog een keer gedraaid te worden. Parallel Lines van Blondie is daar een onwijs goed voorbeeld van. Wat een tijd waren die laatste jaren van de jaren 70... 8,5/10

Borderline 4 stars

Quite enjoyed the album. Many of the Blondie biggest hits are on this album but there were one or two surprises I didn't know yet. Hanging on the telephone is a nice track to open the album.

Ganz oki, aber nicht ganz meins

Wijze dingen gehoord

"I know but I don't know" is more my style but that's probably the Stooges aspect. Some songs are too "beachy" for me but I can respect the path Blondie created

Such a cool album! And Debbie Harry is such an amazing rock star.

Your name is Topanga123.

I'm not normally a fan of pop music, but I have to say Blondie does it for me. I tend to be a sucker for female lead singers, and Debbie Harry has a great voice. There is enough experimental stuff and variety in here to keep things interesting.

Pet fav song: Will Anything Happen One of the greatest, most perfect albums ever made. Pure joy. No notes.

kinda fun

I've actually been surprised how much New Wave stuff I know and enjoy, but only from hearing it play around me, not that I search it out. A solid album that will be making it in my rotations.

Woman lead. Catchy tunes. Great album cover.

i love Blondie and i hate the cover of this album. it's like beetlejuice meets the beatles meets a bunch of fucking nerds. this album opens really strongly with Hanging on the Telephone and then moves straight into probably their most famous hit of all time. it keeps up with the high energy, more traditional-sounding rock for most of the album while keeping it interesting and creative. there's not a ton of variation in the sound on this album but when it's this good there doesn't need to be. overall this is super up my alley and this one squeaks just up to a 5 for me. 5/5 they should call the rest of them the brunette boys

Blondie is such an influential, interesting, and just awesome band. This album is badass and so well written and composed. So many absolute bangers on here too. Heart of Glass is a masterpiece.

LFG BLONDIE - I was itching to get some Blondie in here my mom put me on to this group via Autoamerican so I was expecting more experimental New Wave, but this was not quite that this album’s sound is slightly more straight ahead and there are elements peppered throughout that let Blondie be the freak that I was looking forward to hearing for me it’s an easy 5

This was my first college roommate’s favorite album. Played it truly every day. I like him but this is listen 300 something of this album. That said, phenomenal album. Debbie Harry is such a good vocalist and an icon for good reason. The fact that she is effectively a pop, punk, and rnb singer on this album is a feat, especially because she’s a perfect fit for every style. Quick shout out to Clem Burke who died literally today, great drummer, rip.

Blondie definitely pushed the boundaries, especially for the 70s, as the pioneered a new genre of music, which I respect. Although this album won't be on a regular listening rotation for me (it might), I definitely appreciate the impact of this band. Listening to Blondie reminds me of simpler times playing video games with my brother. I'm pretty sure every song on this album was on Tony Hawk's American Wasteland or GTA (they weren't). But it feels like it (again, they weren't). Like many others, Glass Half Full is my favorite song. I also enjoyed Sunday Girl, Hanging on the Telephone, and One Way or Another. I'm giving this a 4.

This is some of the best power-pop out there. Hanging on the Telephone is such a great opener from the staccato vocals to the sneaky little keyboards in there to the short and forceful guitar solo, its so good. It's a little harder to hear One Way or Another after growing up with it in so many movies and ads, but it's still a great song and you can't sleep on the guitar solo in this either. Fade away and radiate is a grower and a shower. Will anything happen is some good punky-pop, some might say pop-punk. Heart of Glass is one of the best pop songs. Is this what disco could've been? Every song on here does something for me. 5/5 Debbie Harry is so cool

I mean you know this a 5/5 so let's talk about Blondie. Did you know Blondie, specifically Debbie Harry, helped to put rap on national TV for the first time? In the early days of rap, it was the sound of the Bronx while New Wave and punk were appearing in Manhattan. Instead of staying completely separate, there were crossovers as the grafitti artists bridged the gap between the two art scenes. The downtown New Wave groups started to adopt rap styles in their songs. That's where Blondie's 1980 hit Rapture came from, and it was in 1981, on Valentines Day, that Debbie Harry, after bringing them onto the show herself, introduced the Funky 4+1 as they performed on SNL. That's The Joint by the Funky 4+1 is awesome by the way. Anyway, this isn't even Blondie's best album. That crown is held by the 2001 CD reissue of Autoamerican, which includes the first printing of their hit song "Call Me" on a Blondie album. Call Me fucking rules, it was produced by Giorgio Moroder and it fucking DRIVES, like all of Moroder's songs. It was also recorded for the soundtrack to the movie "American Gigolo" for some fuckin reason. A lot of the early synth masters did soundtrack work. Giorgio did Chase for Midnight Express. Jan Hammer did the theme to Miami Vice. Vangelis did Blade Runner and Chariots of Fire, and Wendy Carlos did The Shining and Tron. Funny how that works.

Nice, and a lot of iconic songs, but just did not get hooked on it.

Oof it’s like 4.5 really

Ok pop album. Not a good punk album. I don't like pop much.

smellinn popplög. ég gef þessu 3.

I have a much respect for Debra Harry and Blondie. Liked some of the deeper cuts as well. Like “I know but I don’t know”

Oh god it has 16 songs.... I am tryiinnggg to catch up ffs.... Hanging on The Telephone is catchy and fun. OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH One way, or another, im gonna find ya. im gonna getch getchahc asdcahsbcujaevbdujcaehbdc.... Hell yeah hahahahahahahaha. nice knowing the singer and the album of this song. I knew this song when i was a kid. Im actually singing this part with the song hahahah I even know Once I Had A Love whihc is a nice song too. This album is a vibe and good to know what it is.

Listened to this while working out so no track-by-track. Didn't care for much of it really. It was fine. Nothing offensive nothing amazing. Fav tracks: Hanging On The Telephone One Way Or Another

i <3 u blondie

Quintessential pop rock. I would potentially sell an organ to time travel into CBGB and watch Blondie perform live

Gotta love Blondie. Great proto-80's

straight fire

Blondie is another group I wish I liked more. I have heard all the hits from this album, but have never listened to the whole thing. It is a nice listen, but I'm not sure I would listen to it again.

Fun album with good range of sound. It comes out strong with One Way or Another, which stands out over the rest, but all the tracks are pretty strong. The lead singer especially puts a lot of emotion into her singing. I also love the reggae influence that comes in.

Amazing album. Her voice is incredible, and the mixture of different genres is awesome.

Bubble-gum with spikes. Still sounds fabulous, the singles shimmer like pop perfection but all so effortlessly cool, the band the strokes wish they could have been.

An unbelievable time capsule mix of pop, disco, and punk. There were some reggae chords in there at time. Great listen.

music for girl perverts. thank god!

I saw Blondie live once and it took my virginity. Also, my boss said he was a groupie for Blondie for a summer in college and followed them around the prairie states and got to go backstage and party with them the entire time. That was cool to learn.

A lot of bangers in here. I also think the organization of tracks on the album was done really well. 4.5 rounded up

Love that 80s vibe. A couple of classics and some additional catchy tunes. Debby Harry was so great, strong vocals. Can really feel the emotion in her singing.

Very fun album, concentrated 80s, lots of great tracks, very enjoyable, a few made the permanent playlist

She's so cool

She has such a great voice!

Dig their later LPs more, but this one is the best of early Blondie era

9/12, 75%

Enjoyed more than I expected 3 songs saved

A lovely 70s pop rock record

Individual Song thoughts: 1 - Consider me surprised. This song is pretty rockin'. I've only heard One Way Or Another before, so this has me a bit shocked how much I enjoyed it. Feels like so many bands would be influenced by this group 2 - Heard before. Still don't love it, just a bit cheesy. Didn't notice the growl of her voice before, which was cool. 3 - Pleasant! Enjoy the chorus. 4 - Epic dramatic opening, almost reminds me of prog. Lyrics come in and I'm shook. Insanely good instrumentals. Vocals of song don't really build anywhere, but it's more of a mood. 5 - Cool vocals. Nice song. 6 - VERY strange. Male vocals are off. 7 - Fun. I like her vocals so much. I can see this album being a good one to put on all the way through more than individual songs. 8 - Forward moving jam that feels kinda punk (almost). Chorus good. Such versatility in the breadth of songs this album has. 9 - Summery, sweet, fun. 10 - OH SHE DID THIS SONG TOO? THIS SONG IS SUCH A BOP. 11- Fun. Okay for a deep cut. 12 - Kind of cheesy, but not bad. Overall: Saved to my profile. Will definitely listen to this one again.

Cool as anything, this gets nine Debbies out of ten.

Good pop album, a couple of standout songs

As a whole album, this was hardly what I would normally listen to. The two hits ("One Way or Another" and "Heart of Glass") are the main things that stuck with me after two or three listens. Yet overall, I was quite impressed with Debbie Harry's vocal performance and the fact that every song had a catchy riff and chorus to it. I got to revisit this later, I suppose.

This one was pretty cool. I was familiar with one way or another but hadn't really sat down and listened to Blondie before

i loveeeee blondie. such a great album.

Definitivt noen kule tracks!

Banger after banger from Debbie Harry and company. The fact that they put a record out with this many hits was news to me. I’ll be listening to this again.

Bunch of hits on here. Really rocking. Great record to start off with.

pretty good, clssic pop/pop rock

ну хз не мое 3

Very good

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.

yeah it was alright

I love this genre of music and I also love a female led band but I've never really found myself coming back to this one. Heart of Glass is an amazing song though 6/10 Favourite: Heart of Glass Least Favourite: 11:59

Hanging on the Telephone One Way or Another Picture This Sunday Girl Heart of Glass

Mostly "shit list" classics with an upbeat happy vibe. Probably not a good listen for a Friday when you're ill with the flu. Could be a good album for early stages of a party--just when people are arriving!

Genuinely surprised by the scope of this album. "I know but I don't know" has riffs that wouldn't feel out of place on some Rush albums, and "Fade Away and Radiate" does a great impression of psychedelic rock. Kinda. Blondie is best at it's bounciest and brightest however. Sunday Girl, Heart if Glass, Will Anything Happen all slap. Keep it simple, stupid.

Awesome album from start to finish, every single track has something going for it, and Deborah Harry has a great voice, she did an awesome job going for a soft tone in "11:59" to and more aggressive delivery like in "One Way Or Another". This is just a fun album in general and I really appreciate it, it has a lot going for it and I can see why it is so loved, consider me a fan. Awesome album cover by the way. Rating: Fantastico (Decent ☆☆☆☆☆) Favorite Tracks: 11:59, I Know But I Dont Know, One Way Or Another, Fade Away and Radiate, and Will Anything Happen.

I've always loved this album

I love Blondie. It's New Wave. It's fun. I enjoy this so much. It's a time and place and feels like it in a good way. I like that they were trying different things.

Didn't hate it. 2.7

весело весене оптимистик

Honestly, pretty great. This is up there with the Pretenders album I reviewed as really clever pop-rock that has ambitious musicality and great production. Some tunes didn’t hit like others, but the ones that did hit hard. Good stuff. Must-listen #104.

It's a really great pop album without any real dips in quality. There's so many big hits on here, but even the ones I didn't know are good. It's just a very tight, consistently good album. Good hooks and melodies, and plenty of hits.

Why don't I listen to Blondie more?

Blistering new-wave post-punk rock-pop-disco

This album is just so listenable and is one I can never see myself not returning to. Yes, there are a few fillers on here, but it captures the post punk moment perfectly and is such a fun, fun, fun listen

4/5 Enjoyable to listen to. Gets slightly repetitive in the middle.

Didn't know the first one! Very fun. Forgot the mad way she sings the chorus of One Way Or Another. Also very fun. Great guitar solo halfway through Picture This - otherwise fairly BASIC. Rest are fairly forgettable, till Will Anything Happen which is pretty good - love the key changes, switching moods and tempos. Sunday Girl and Heart of Glass always excellent. Last two are forgettable (I'm Gonna Love You Too is so ditzy haha) but I like some of the Lyrics of Just Go Away: "You got a big mouth and I'm happy to see - Your foot is firmly entrenched where a molar should be" "Don't be mad or lose your medicaid cool" "Don't go away sad - Don't go away mad - Just go away"

Lubię zespoły z charyzmatyczną wokalistką. Wybijają się na tle innych. A to jeden z najbardziej znanych. Sama płyta wybitna nie jest, ale po pierwsze ma dwa ogromne hity, po drugie ma kilka naprawdę mocnych piosenek, a po trzecie niesie ze sobą ogromnego kopa energetycznego. Trochę to dla mnie za proste, abym się zakochała, ale doceniam. 7/10

Blondie is Blondie. I can listen to her or not. A so-so album for me.

I used to be OBSESSED with this album in high school. So much so that I got burned out of it and stopped listening to it for years. Now that I listen to it again, it feels like seeing a long-lost friend. I remembered the time I listened to Picture This for the first time. 8/10.

Very solid.

אלבום נהדר 2.8

תמיד אהבתי בלונדיניות

נהדר

As great as it has always been. Heart of Glass is by far the best track here and is a stylistic departure from the rest of the album that I wish they indulged in more. Very obvious influence on Regine from Arcade Fire.

Mästerverk, kan vara en av de mest perfekta popskivorna någonsin

Blondie is great, influencial sounding, great guitarist solos & riffs

This album starts really strong with several really catchy tunes. Unfortunately it starts to run out of steam before the album is done, but that doesn’t stop it from being a great time nonetheless. I can absolutely see myself tossing this on again for another listen in the future.

Been years since I listened to this. I think my opinion has only grown. Freaking 🔥

I said it once and I'll say it again Blondie walked so that No Doubt could run. there are nice songs on here, but it's pretty boring as a whole. I really liked "Sunday girl". and of course, "heart of glass" is an absolute banger. too bad "Atomic" wasn't on it otherwise it would have been 4⭐️

Interesting: my wife knew some songs that I didn't and I knew several that she didn't. Go figure. A nice strong album

This album went to down easy. Debbie Harry has the ultimate rock voice.

This album sounds ahead of its time, with lots of variety and styles. Fantastic voice.

Sign of a good album...enjoying the songs you don't know in addition to the hits.

Looking like an angry bride in front of a bunch of goofball groomsmen on the cover, this album has Blondie starting to allow herself to step into the brighter lights of the mainstream. Her band never really felt right neither in the punk nor the new wave circuit but as long as she kept that attitude and pep, it all feels cohesive. This is perhaps why you can hear her make pop songs alongside punk alongside disco and nobody bats an eye. Rolling Stones, KISS, Rod Stewart, and so many more legacy rock acts got dragged for a crossover but Blondie seemed to gain a pass with Heart of Glass. I think she got away with it not only because she was not a longtime legacy rock act, but because she was always experimental with her genres by nature. This album is no different, and I find it quite listenable, although the replayability between the standouts and the deep cuts is so vast.

I definitely like elements of this kind of post-punk new wave scene but the sound is, to my taste, far too clean.

Cool is hardly the word for this snappy collection of sexy hits, which goes genre-hopping with unusual confidence Favourite tracks: Hanging On The Telephone, One Way Or Another, Fade Away And Radiate, 11:59, Heart of Glass

I would never have listened to this on my own. I forgot how good One Way or Another is outside of movie needle drops. Debbie Harry has such a strong and commanding voice. Holy shit, that first minute of Fade Away and Radiate hits so good. Then you get the proggy I Know But I Don't Know. This album covers a lot of territory in the best way. I was all in by the time Heart of Glass hit, which sounded so good in the context of the whole album experience. 💯 Did not expect to dig this album so much

Huh. A bit of a disappointment I gotta say. “Heart of Glass” is a certified banger and I thought this would be an album full of them. Most of the tracks are really bland and forgettable. I’ll have to poke around and see if Blondie has any other options.

A really good pop album, where the only real song is the sixth track. The rest are enjoyable. Of course I knew that Hanging on the Telephone and Heart of Glass were bangers, but 11:59 and the great Buddy Holly cover were nice discoveries as well. Btw, check out the original version of … Telephone as well. Didn’t realise it was a cover un til today

I signed up on this site that sends you an album everyday from the list of “1001 albums you have to listen to before you die” via mail. And parallel lines is a good album to start with! I’ve listened to it before and I’ve heard songs like “heart of glass” and “one way or another” definitely more than a couple of times, but it was nice to revisit it and refresh my memory.

Fun music. Nothing special, but a good time all around. The instrumentation keeps it fun and interesting. Ahead of its time for 78. Standouts: 11:59, Heart of Glass, Just Go Away

Heart Of Glass and One Way Or Another are classic jams but Will Anything Happen, Sunday Girl and Fade Away And Radiate are excellent deep cuts, so don't sleep on those. The whole album is solid from start to finish, down to the Buddy Holly cover

Blonde is special. The iconic post-punk superstar of a generation. I am sure nobody today knows this really, but she was a model and conventionally good looking and instead of being a pop-star, she went more hardcore and edgy and pushed that social convention. She never shaved her head or tattooed her face or "showed" her punk roots, she remained feminine in a conventional way yet proved her fierce, take no shits nature still worked. She did not have to take on some persona to be taken seriously. She changed a standard that women could present as they wanted and not lose power. Thus her band "Blondie" dared people to deny her that hardcore status. This album is not my favorite but still, she remains an iconic character in my music memory box.

Blondie is essential late 70's/early 80's music that has staying power, hits and instantly known tracks. This album is part of the new wave and includes rock/alt/pop radio staples "Heart Of Glass", "One Way Or Another", and "Hanging On The Telephone" and great glue songs like "Picture This", "I Know But I Don't Know", "Will Anything Happen" and "Sunday Girl". I know Blondie and this album helped usher women and girl groups into the new wave of the 80's so it's got the influence factor any album in the T1001 should have. The hits are there - "Heart Of Glass" is a megahit that everyone knows. The longevity is there. Not sure it would make my Top 1001 but I see the merits of including it in this list.

Great sound.

Fun poppy rock album. Was familiar with a few songs already, the ones that were new to me didn't blow me away, but overall enjoyed the listen and the energy

Blondie is here to save me from my previous days mid uninspiring album! What a great voice, what great catchy tunes!

Solid, all around. I definitely didn't know a lot of these, but they're good. Heart of Glass will always be so good.

01) Hanging on the Telephone - 10,0 02) One Way or Another - 10,0 03) Picture This - 8,5 04) Fade Away and Radiate - 8,5 05) Pretty Baby - 8,0 06) I Know but I Don't Know - 8,5 07) 11:59 - 8,5 08) Will Anything Happen? - 8,5 09) Sunday Girl - 10,0 10) Heart of Glass - 10,0 11) I'm Gonna Love You Too - 8,5 12) Just Go Away - 8,5 TOTAL: 8,96 (90/100) Current ranking: 53/475

A pretty nice album. I don’t love it, but every song is good. That’s all I have see you next time

Fun album. I always thought of Blondie as a "her" not as a band. I knew the two popular tracks: "One Way Or Another" and "Heart of Glass". And actually I don't think I realized it's the same artist. Interesting how the album spans disco / new age / almost aspects of punk. It's a solid album but not quite my thing enough to enter 4 territory.

When I was in 6th grade my brother got a boomnox, and because it was the floor.model, it came with a copy of Best of Blondie in it. We listened to hat tapena ton and I have a lot of affection for those songs. Sadly, the non-singles on this don't live up to quite that greatness. But still better than most of the stuff on this list.

Even if every song isn't a total smash, you're never bored listening to this album as they veer from an almost 50s pop revival (Pretty Baby) to borderline punk (I Know but Don't Know.) The steady new wave thread is present through out, held down by ultimate cool girl Debbie Harry's vocals. Might be more like 4.5 stars, but rounding up because Debbie Harry is a bad bitch.

Some albums are just perfect aren't they?

The singles are so good that it kind of drowns out the rest of the album. But the rest isn’t bad!

This is a 4.5 for me, justice for half stars etc, but I love Queen Harry too much to round down here

Too cool

Solid album, “Heart of Glass” is a 5

You can see why Blondie were successful - when they get it right they're a brilliant band, and there are obvious stand outs in Hanging on the Telephone, Heart of glass, one way or another. Several other songs are interesting, and nothing is terrible, although some songs are a little forgettable. I feel like the grit of the first two songs is missing in a few places, it doesn't quite reach the level of 5 for me...

Was a 3 until the buddy holly cover! Hilarious that was the lead single when there are actual iconic songs on this

Absolutely fantastic album from the start to the finish. Watched Blondie on TOTP back in the day and was instantly in love with Debbie Harry!

An album that helped punk and post punk evolve into new wave, which just happens to be my favorite of the waves. My absolute favorite of the Blondie albums as well.

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

Albums used to really be ALBUMS. This is all killer no filler.

Probably my favorite New Wave album I’ve listened to all the way through. As one of the creators of the genre, it’s only fitting that they do it the best. Parallel Lines doesn’t have the same punk attitude as their self-titled, but that anti-establishment flair does glimmer from time to time. 4.5/5

Perhaps the greatest new wave album of all time.

Can’t believe it’s been five years since I first heard this, its ggggrrreeeaaat

Pretty good

Nästan det bästa ett pop album kan vara, stiliga idéer som utförs rent

Some classics, the rest of the tracks are good, but not fantastic musically. Punk scene of the late 70s early 80s on display, but not my fave. Would be a worthy addition to a playlist of the genre but don't see myself seeking it out.

This is one of many albums that brought new wave into the mainstream and always a good listen. I have always loved Debbie Harry's vocals and the rest of the band compliments her very well.

Canción favorita: Heart of glass. La voz distintiva y rasposa de la cantante vuelve a las canciones únicas. Letras pegajosas acompañadas de una buena banda sonora.

One of the best albums ever!

Had fun stuff going for it. Fun to listen to a Blondie album when ove only heard like one of their songs.

another classic instance of 'hey, this is pretty good!' followed by that one popular song that shows you why this album is in the list.

Dang, this pretty good. Solid. Like glass. Of the heart.

A particularly good Blondie album! I mean, I’ll be honest, Blondie is a band I mostly know from the hits but this seems like a particularly good album. So good for you, Blondie!

Dang. Banger after banger. The songs I hadn’t heard before were bangers. The hits were obviously bangers. A great album.

A couple of classics on this one, including a few I recognized but didn’t realize were by Blondie. I was never a major fan of this band but it was nice to hear a full album.

Fucking Debbie Harry ya know.

Oh I really liked this

Carried by the better songs but not great, just good

Good Solid album.

From the start, Hanging on the Telephone rocks. One Way... followed, I think, and was equally a banger. Then things slow down some, but do not drag. Love when her voice gets gravelly.

Pleasantly surprised by this one. Beyond the hit singles, was a nice somewhat eclectic mix of moods and musical ideas.

My first Blondie album. I enjoyed it- lots of hits. Some of the deep cuts I didnt care for as much. But still, good albu

Geniales.

Some great songs (Heart of Glass really is a class of its own), but overall I kinda dislike the new wave style. I hate to admit it. It just sounds too.. noisy? I'm not sure if this is the producing style or whatever but I get tired really fast with any new wave albums. So overall there's some great songwriting here and amazing hits, but as a whole, I got tired really quickly and don't want to go back to this too soon.

Kinda boring but her bangers were on here

Burde sikkert likt Blondie bedre men

Heilt ok. Tidvise klassikere

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

I like the energy in the earlier songs, and the harsher rough vocals. The popular ones are good hits, the rest didn't do much for me. I feel bad saying bad about Blondie though, she's lovely.

Tengo dudas con este álbum. Venía con ganas de oír más de alguien que me gustan mucho sus grandes éxitos, incluso poniéndole un 5 si necesario. El problema es que sí, por lo general está muy bien, pero no siento una gran variedad en el disco y hay canciones bastante flojas. Por tanto, se va a quedar en un 4. Canción destacada: Heart of Glass

Classic Blondie. I like the vibe.

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

Aww Debbie Harry! Classic with hits and a few hidden gems.

This album starts out with some great hits. It's still overall good. I love how that album cover is a reciprocal version of Robert Palmer's album. She was so ahead of her time and defines sexy cool. I feel like I should be listening on a 8-track in a Ford Pinto.

Fun pop music. Both ahead of its time and kind of a throw back.

OMG, how long ago was it when I listened to this album? It must have been ages. It's still one of the greatest pop albums ever. Harry's voice and this almost crazy mix of different genres with a breadth and depth seldomly seen created something very special.

Great album, lots of variety and a great voice on Debbie Harry

Easy listening rock. Good vocals

Blondie is a powerhouse. The band does a great job mixing punk, pop, disco, and new wave into catchy as hell songs while Deborah Harry is equal parts sultry and sassy as she purrs, croons, and belts out her siren song.

Stone cold classic. First album in a minute that I finished listening and now it’s in my head.

Great album. Standout Tracks: - Hanging On The Telephone - One Way Or Another - Sunday Girl

Love her voice! Rock vibe is so unique!

Equal parts gritty punk and bubble gum pop, really fun listen

The lead singer of Death once wore a Blondie shirt, making this band one of the “acceptable” pop acts to enjoy for adult children in YouTube comment sections who say things like “Horns from South Dakota 🤘” or whatever. I mean I’ve heard the hits and it sounded like run of the mill pop to me. Reading the track list, there are some recognizable ones in here, so hook that hair dye into my meninges and let’s get on that telephone, brother, err sister. I started to write that I feel bad, but why should I feel bad for not liking this? The chorus is fine, but the vocal pattern in the verses induces motion sickness. Corny. I don’t know if it’s the remaster, but this sounds so flat. Also I’ve heard this a million times in what feels like every movie ever, and I hate the growling female vocal. It’s drunk karaoke. The instrumental break that you never hear is actually pretty cool. It would be nice to hear these untarnished, but it sounds like she needs to clear her throat and I can’t escape the montage(s) in my mind. Nice start to “Picture This.” Simple pop song, sweet sound, better vocals. Ugh except when she gets shouty, but otherwise, nice little “chune” as the English may say. Cool opening. Very cool. It’s kind of going nowhere. It’s dawned on me that someone born in 1955 would’ve been 23 when this came out. They’d turn 70 this year. Time is wild. Ended up being a boring song. I’m not falling in love with this song. It’s so generic and bland. Is this an 8-but Rush cover? The fact that this riff is even bringing Rush to mind makes it the best thing going. Is this Carpathian Forest? I like the synth. Not bad. Not great. Will anything happen? That is the real question. Nah this hasn’t been that boring. This song however? Well, YOU be the judge. Wait. This is my opinion. Yes. It’s boring. Ooh I like the upper register vocals here. Is that falsetto? Whatever. This is a sweet, 50’s-esque pop song that I quite like. Oh whoa another hit. I forgot about this song. I like it. Always have. That higher vocal she does is so much more captivating than the honky tonk bar growl that so many bad vocalists co-opted moving forward. Excellent track. This isn’t too bad. It’s kind of silly. I would never advertise that I listen to this in any way shape or form because it is super dumb. I don’t hate it though. Except the riverboat piano underneath. And the somehow farm-based chorus. Clear your throat. Go away?? Jeez I’m sorry blondie, you don’t have to clear your throat. Shut up? I suppose I’ve been so mean to so many artists, ol Debbie is putting me in my place. Well, I’m not going anywhere Blondie. This sounds like some drunk former musicians playing in a garage. I’m filing a noise complaint. And with the arrest of the pompadour brothers on the right, we fade into the silence of forever. I await Monday, where I can expect another steaming pile of album to be slid into my now empty trough. Oh I have to sum up Blondie. Uhhh. It was fine. There were moments that surprised me with how interesting they were and then there was also a heap of underwhelming songs featuring surprisingly awful vocals. This album falls in the “ok” category. Nothing terrible, but certainly nothing special in my humble opinion. You can’t be humble if you say you are. Ugh. Whatever. Let’s move on from this. My fingers grow weary of typing about this album. It initiated more spills than thrills and without the invention of rap on “RAPture,” I don’t know if I can say I had a good time. Hanging myself with the telephone. See you Monday. 2-2.5 HIGHLIGHTS: Picture This, I Know But I Don’t Know, Sunday Girl, Heart of Glass

Blondie rocks

tbh just fine 3 stars

blondie's third album, as well as their other early entries in the late 70s and early 80s are a spectacle. with plenty of generational hits and forgotten tracks as well, this is a really solid punk rock album. miss debbie harry alone has a tough and unbothered energy all her own, and even with tense recording sessions, the band and her voice go hand in hand. this album is significant in the fact that it played an absurd part in shaping the rebellious, counterculture new wave sound that would blossom like a rose in the 1980s.

This was a solid record from start to finish. One of the middle songs takes an odd turn, but I really love the chorusy guitar parts and fun melodies.

The thing about some early punk albums is that they can kinda blend together. Blondie does not have that problem. The bits of pop, disco, new wave, and I think even a bit of reggae? An great showing from a fun band

A perfectly fine pop/rock album with excellent vocals throughout. The hits are good and you probably know them, but a lot of the middle bits are pretty samey. At the end of the day, I likd most of it, but don't feel the need to revisit it much.

Pretty alright. I recognised two of the songs on this list despite 80s music being pretty far outside the music that interests me. It's from the 70s? That's nuts. Definitely ahead of the curve and deserving of the place on this list. While I'm not crazy about this album, I respect it.

I fw this heavy I knew some of the songs

Useampi tunnettu hitti mutta laatu pysyy! Todella hyvä poprocklevy tälleen bändin punkkikauden jälkeen 4/5

Taas kerran hyvä pop-rock-levy, joka toimii megahitin ulkopuolellakin. Ja se megahittihän on hyvä! 4/5

had some tunes

Good fun.

My second repeat. I really enjoy the core sound. However, the songwriting feels largely unmemorable and a bit uninspired this time around. good vibe for when you aren't listening too carefully. The hits are hits for a reason, and a couple hidden gems. Best tunes: one way or another, fade away and radiate, pretty baby, will anything happen, sunday girl, heart of glass

Hi, I feel Side1 in stronger than Side 2. Debs vocal range was unexpected and to read the producer felt the members were sub-par is a tribute to getting everything he could out of a lazy band. NY v. LA thingster.

I listened to this already with my other account and it was eh? Liked some songs and some were mid imo

Amazing amount of hits here in just one album, some absolute classics here as well 4.5*

I like it but not really more than that. The singles off here are great, to the point where it might as well be a greatest hits album. I don't really care for the rest of the album though. It's nice disco flavoured punk / new wave but it's not really interesting enough for me. There's a lot of better music in this genre from the same period.

I tell you, my face when I realized that Heart of Glass is 1). on this album, 2). a Blondie song. Overall, same with Rumors, this seems just like very of the times. I'm don't think there was a concept album here, seemed like a lot of songs that they just came up with, had the same sound, and put on an album. I mean, so many of the songs are just like absolutely seminal (One Way Or Another and Heart of Glass but I feel like there's other that I can't recall even though I have the track list pulled up).

Great singles, but the rest suck.

I know the hits from this record. Never listened to the album. “Fade away and radiate” is a wonderful song. I can’t believe this is the first time I’m hearing it.

Got a bonus star for the rudy can’t fail rip off

all killer no filler. Perfect pop and new wave blend.

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!

Actually nice 70's rock. Enjoyable back to back.

I really enjoyed this album all around. It had variety and her voice was good. Excellent listen.

It was decent. I hadn’t listened to them before and they did not blow me away for better or for worse

Eh. I never really liked Blondie's hits all that much and this album didn't change my mind. Mid pop from the late 70's. Sounded fine but really didn't do it for me.

was only familiar with the 2 singles off here & was pleasantly surprised with rest of album. her voice is stronger on several other tracks. enjoyed the blend of a little punk/new wave/rock. it worked.

This album feels it was put together by record execs and it was one of the times they got it absolutely right. They didn't know what to do with Blondie so they did everything and it worked.

Never listened to the whole album despite knowing and enjoying a bunch of the songs. So much of this can be heard as influencing what would come for the next 4 decades.

Look, it's got "One Way Or Another" and "Heart of Glass", so, yeah, it's worth hearing. As a whole it's not great, as some songs are better than others, but it's enjoyable enough and a solid representation of Blondie's sound as most of us recognize it. I wouldn't consider it a must hear album, but I also don't mind that I listened to it.

The less famous tracks are great, too.

Banger after banger of feel good new wave

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.

Fantastic.

Also shite

3.5 rounded up

grocery shopping

- ganz cooles Album, ihre Stimme ist durchgehend gut, die Instrumentals machen Spaß und ich war dementsprechend oft am Mitwippen 3,25

The sort of music I think of if you say 80's pop rock. I can hear the new wave/punk influence in some of the guitar and bass lines in most of the songs. Really still love One Way or Another and Heart of Glass; not so much for Fade Away And Radiate or I'm Gonna Love You Too.

This album exists somewhere in the nexus of pop, new wave and punk. It launches with uptempo energy and mostly keeps it going. It’s got its share of hits — and a great disco crossover in “Heart of Glass” — but also some lesser-known quality songs like “Picture This”, “Fade Away and Radiate” and “Sunday Girl” that showcase a band capable of writing compelling, evocative songs.

Phuckyeah

Fun album

Wanted to like this more but I think there were too many songs that I felt indifferent about

Good opening salvo - bit played out but still some classic tunes none the less

Classic band, classic album with some classic songs.

The album with most of the songs you know by Blondie - runs out of steam a bit in the last 1/3.

Fun ride from start to finish. No need for polite and sombre analysis, the vibe was immaculate.

First impression - Blondie are such stalkers! Fade away and Radiate feels resonant for these times, just replace the glow of the TV screen with our phones and social media radiating through our lives.

Hard to believe they were playing this at CBGB's. Still, its gets a 3 rating - mostly for nostalgia.

Is it punk? Idk; but it’s a lot of fun. Hanging on the Telephone goes so hard. Three classics is really impressive for an album. The rest are good if a bit forgettable. To me this is just shy of a 5.

Fun album full of hits that helped pave the wave from punk to more poppy and melodic new wave.

You can hear what a diverse set of influences Blondie had from listening to this album. Reggae, punk, 50s rock, and new wave all have a place here and it all fits. I will say that the first two tracks completely tower over the rest of the album in my opinion. "Hanging on the telephone" is a thrilling start to the album, and "One Way Or Another" is great too, but then it lost momentum for me.

A perfect concoction of punk and pop with a hint of disco, shaken with feminist vigour — and it still tastes as good as it did back in '78.

По мнению А: 5/5 По мнению С: 5/5 ИТОГОВАЯ ОЦЕНКА: 5/5 (22.01.2025)

De meeste bekende staan er op

Good but I never vibed with Blondie

Ok, not that exciting to me. Probably pretty rad for the time.

It has some absolutely top tier tracks. It also has a few weaker tracks that almost made me deduct a star. But how could I not give ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ to the album that contains Sunday Girl, Picture This, I'm Gonna Love You Too, and One Way Or Another?
