As my good friend Metal Dave put it in the 70's, synth-pop-diddlers...

No, that would be, "...it takes a 70's band...".

Yeah, Daddy-o. Only the cool, NEW-sounding music is worth listening to.

Oh, you haters!  I don't even want to know what's in your musical libraries. All I know is that I have this CD in my vehicle, and I just can't stop listening to it. This is, to me, the very best of what The Cars can preview - and I'm betting there's better stuff they'll provide live.

Why, oh why, ONLY this song from the new album????!!!  There are other good ones and this is getting over-played....  Bill?!  Ok, my rant is over - promise no more comments on this topic - just thought a little reminder might do the trick?!  Apparently not.{#Rolleyes}

I have this in my vehicle's CD changer, and with the exception of one song, I absolutely love the whole thing. I'll probably listen to it until it won't play anymore...

This is definitely on my list of music when I can afford to spend a little money.  Every time I hear the opening chords, I perk up and do that whole "oooo-ooo-gotta-turn-this-UP" dance. (It's very unattractive to witness, so be grateful all I did was mention it and not go into detail.)

Meet the new Cars - NOT the same as the old Cars...

EDIT:  I caved. I bought. Can't wait to hear the rest of the CD. YAY CARS!

Time to drop the cars from the playlist. Nothing new here.

too simple...lacking substance
would've been cool if they had put an 'older' fashion model on the cover, sprawled on the hood of a sportscar.

I can't get over how much FUN these guys are having playing again — and it showed when they did this jammer on The Colbert Report — and DIG Mr. Easton's killer solo runs; forever wildly inspired yet always lively and crisp...  There are some other real tasty gems on this record, too.  Can't wait to see what they pull out of the garage next!

It is funny the two song they are playing are my two least favorite from this CD.  The other one is,  Drag on Forever.

Takes an 80s band to put out a current song with a decent guitar riff.

Ok, twice I've come to this page to make sure I'd rated this song, since it was undoubtedly an  "old" Cars tune that I didn't recognize (or remember) from the day.  {#Lol} Good stuff.  Maybe it's just me but it seems RP has been rockin' a little more and a little harder lately.  That's always good in my corner.

Not bad on first listen.  I loved the Cars when they first hit big.  "New Wave" was a breath of fresh air amongst all the disco and crap that was current.  I got to see them live in Philly just after Candy-O was released.  Probably at their prime right then.  It won't quite be the same without Ben Orr, but still nice to hear something new from them.

So often when a band comes back from the past like this they tend to over-produce their music to make up for ... what I don't know. Maybe the slower, more fallow members. I think of any pop-rock from the Stones to Peter Gabriel. They all fall into it. It doesn't seem like the Cars have though. Like somebody said in another comment, the sound is almost too jagged.

CRANK IT UP AND LET THE GOOD ROCK ROLL!
Have been rocking this since not long after it came out, and am PSYCHED to say that having a head full of jamming zingers like this makes the crazy world FUN again...
Nobody can work so much going on into such tight, well-crafted, catchy, power-infused MAGIC like these guys, and yeah, Ben, you'll live forever in spirit through the ongoing legacy, DIG IT. 
KEEP ON ROCKIN'!

I saw the Cars on tour a couple of years ago or so. At that time, Ric Ocasek opted out of the tour and Todd Rundgren filled in as the front man. Although I like Todd, it just wasn't the Cars without Ric. Great to hear them playing together again with new material that makes them viably 'the Cars' once again.

wow, this may be the surprise of the year. the only question is who's more frail and gaunt Ric Ocasek or Mick Jagger.

Needs more sweetness, the hard edge is a bit brittle...

Still, nice to see them back...
