| | Album notes | The Cars: Ric Ocasek (vocals, guitar); Benjamin Orr (vocals, bass); Elliot Easton (guitar); Greg Hawkes (keyboards); David Robinson (drums).Producer: Roy Thomas Baker.Compilation producer: David McLees.In the late '70s and early '80s, the Cars were the commercially acceptable face of American new wave. The fact that they were hailed as both pop breakthrough and aesthetic success speaks volumes about their singular artistic vision. As evidenced by their 1978 debut, they achieved this by combining old (AOR-inspired vocal harmonies and choruses, Elliot Easton's guitar) and new (Ric Ocasek's alienated lyrics and deadpan delivery, Greg Hawkes swooping, bleeping synths, drummer David Robinson's mix of acoustic and electronic sound sources). In that spirit, traditional rock subjects/structures are given an irony-laden new wave sheen on "Let the Good Times Roll" and "My Best Friend's Girl." At the same time, the Cars ventured further into the future of rock & roll with modoy, futuristic-sounding tunes like "I'm in Touch With Your World" and "Moving in Stereo," marked by Ocasek's trademark elliptical wordplay.
| | Editorial reviews | 4 stars (out of 5) - ...coming across like a new wave band, while acheiving mainstream success....Their slick, sparse, proto-synth-studded sound [is] effectively captured...
