Our Take

The self-titled debut album from The Cars is a playful romp through the world of new wave and rock, with a dash of retro coolness thrown in for good measure. From the infectious hooks of "Just What I Needed" to the synth-laden goodness of "My Best Friend's Girl," this record is an absolute blast from start to finish.

Frontman Ric Ocasek's distinct vocals are a highlight throughout, bringing a quirky charm to tracks like "Good Times Roll" and "You're All I've Got Tonight." The band's tight instrumentation and slick production only serve to enhance the overall experience, making for a sound that is both polished and undeniably fun.

But don't let the upbeat nature of the music fool you - there's a darkness lurking beneath the surface of The Cars' songs. Tracks like "I'm in Touch With Your World" and "Moving in Stereo" hint at a sense of unease and alienation, adding depth to an otherwise light-hearted album.

Overall, The Cars' debut is a classic of the genre, with its blend of pop hooks, new wave sensibilities, and rock attitude making for a truly enjoyable listen. So hop in your imaginary car, crank up the volume, and let The Cars take you on a joyride through the streets of 1970s new wave.
