| THE CARS- The Cars - 180gram Mobile Difelity Vinyl LP! |
One of the most successful and enjoyable debuts in history, The Carsâ self-titled album doubles as a greatest-hits collection. Thatâs because not one song here is unrecognized or unknown. A huge reason why the Boston quintet became Americaâs most popular new-wave band, The Cars launched eight tracks still regularly heard on radio stations everywhere. Consider the hit list: âYouâre All Iâve Got Tonight.â âGood Times Roll.â âJust What I Needed.â âMoving in Stereo.â âMy Best Friendâs Girl.â âDonât Cha Stop.â If youâre a fan of pop music, this album is mandatory. Just call it the best new-wave rock album ever made.
Led by Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr, the Cars managed to unite then-disparate styles: bubblegum pop melodies, angular art rock, progressive arrangements, and terse minimalism. Orrâs low, understated singing and Ocasekâs cool, detached vocals lend shades of doubt and double meaning to the lyrics, which are further counterbalanced by orchestral keyboard flourishes and electronic beats. The brilliant arrangements also benefit from a laidback cool and understated irony that remain uncommon in the over-the-top world of mainstream music. Obsessed with incorporating the latest technologies and sounds into its palette, the band spiced its tunes with delightfully quirky accentsâcountry-tinged guitar fills, echoing Syndrums, reggae splashes, hard-rock tones, robotic pulses.
The results are the sounds of a creative landmark. At once accessible and eccentric, edgy and catchy, The Cars explodes with emotion, energy, and hooks. Itâs impossible not to get caught up humming and singing along to every song, an appeal that comes courtesy of Roy Thomas Bakerâs stellar production. The legendary producer, best known for his work with Queen, ensured that the record seamlessly packed a smooth midrange, spacious imaging, and call-and-answer choruses in one tight package. Bakerâs trademark touches with harmony vocals abound.
And now, The Cars sounds better than it has in any previous incarnation. Half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelityâs numbered limited-edition LP allows the musicâs oscillating rhythms, futuristic keyboard passages, panned stereo images, and rippling textures to be experienced like never before. The songs take on a surreal quality, the Cars manipulating the vibrant music at will to mesmerize the listenersâ senses and hold them at bay. Mobile Fidelityâs unparalleled pressing epitomizes the sensation of âmoving in stereo!â
