At my first rock concert (Trooper, Vancouver BC) this album was played while waiting for the show. I was hooked and bought it next day.
Husband and I still love the album.

Interesting. This is catchy. Never became fond of the Talking Heads.

I'm shy to admit that I like it!

Mrs Poacher collects original (well, originally printed) Vargas images like on the cover. I approve and encourage as much as I am able.

I can still remember how it felt to take the album out of the sleave and put it on the turntable. For you see, I was 6 and it was the first time I was allowd to play a record by myself. I also think it was the first time I consciously knew I liked girls.

That guitar solo just RIPS IT! I mean, WOW! it goes way out along the edge of things at light-speed and then seamlessly turns back into the song again, and after all these years, I STILL never want it to end...timeless brilliance and verve from creative genius at its peak (and from a time in my life when I sure needed and appreciated it) — thanks, RP!

i do like some songs from them. this one does NOT belong to that list :-(
there is a thin line between "fun" and "just tooo much", which is definitively crossed here

Hmmm...though I love this band and album and it's cover artist, I never really took note of the artwork.
That seems to be a '72 Ferrari 365 GTC4 that she's on the hood of. I can't believe anyone would let that happen.
It is a cool thing though. Ferrari's are the best.

When this album came out the 365 GTC4 was a nice used car, not like the stupid speculator money that they cost now.

I must be old, looked at the car first on the cover.

I agree...this song, this tape, this band was playing in my '70 Cutlass almost every day the entire summer of '79! Rippingly good music!

I am also happy to attest that their new album shows they can and do still Move Like This ! Put it on and turn it way up! How invigorating it feels to be jamming to The Cars again like a crazed teen who can't get enough! YEAH!

One of my favorite tunes from the era. A good mix of the herky jerky rock of late '70s Cars with a nod to where they were headed on more synth-oriented albums in the '80s.

The original Cars, minus Ben Orr sadly, are coming back with a new album this Spring called "Move Like This." The release date is May 5, 2011 and song samples are available on The Cars' Facebook page. They sound damned good!!!
