Full review
One of those few albums that I would call "perfect". Every track a winner, from those you may know to those you should know. Thankfully, now that we have CD versions of this album, we have eliminated the only bad thing about it. Having to turn the record over halfway through.
The rawness and originality shine through. The sound of past rock 'n' roll, the punk era and some future sounds, make this seem as modern as the day it came out.
I've got 6 versions of this album and treasure them all. No need to get any "Blondie's greatest hits" album, get this one. The only thing you'll not get is the feeling I got when I'd never heard any of their tracks, when I was 11 years old.
