It started a bit like relatively boring rock from the 60s/70s, with hints of what became new wave later. But it is getting better and soon enough I was dragged within its sound and rather enjoyed it. Not revolutionary, but good.

The Cars are probably best known for their MOR hit ‘Drive’ which was featured as part of the Live Aid concert in 1985, however this album dates back to 1978 and is categorised as New Wave which seems slightly odd. My first impression was that this was closer a 1970s art rock sound, along the lines of Roxy Music and that ilk. It was a pleasant enough listen, but nothing revolutionary - I remembered the track ‘Best Friends Girl’ which was a modest hit in the UK at the time, but the rest of it washed over me.
