The album of the 70s, it has some kick ass tunes, most notably Moving In Stereo

From Rufus 09/05/2012 23:56

Agree with everything already said - feels more like a greatest hits record than a debut one. After this one, I only dug a few singles from these guys but never a complete album. Guess I expected more after hearing this gem.

Superb debut album from The Cars. The first three tracks - wow! They are followed by a couple of OK tunes but, what about Side 2!

As is true with a lot of artists, the Cars blew their quality wad on their debut album -- it's jam-packed with pop-rocking classics. Five of these nine you should've heard already.

As others have already stated, this is pretty much a greatest hits album as it's lined beginning to end with classic tracks. The Cars best which they never came close to duplicating.

I spun this endlessly when it came out and it still holds up just fine today. Great album cuts like Bye Bye Love and All Mixed Up are still irresistible, along with the hits (which were all great songs, too).

Excellent album. Holds up far better than I expected. One of the better New Wave albums.

Great 80's tunes throughout, more like a greatest hits than a debut album.
