"OMG! I forgot how good this album is. I owned it a long time ago on cassette. However, it and my cassette player have long withered away. Elliot is one of the best guitarist around. It's great to finally have this on CD!
I am a die-hard fan of "The Cars". They were my favorite band of all time. I went to see them in Kansas City during their "Heartbeat City" tour. It would be awesome to see them together again, but I know that's impossible because of Benjamin Orr's untimely death.
Although Ric wrote nearly all of the songs, it was the rest of the musicians that made the whole thing work. I own all of Ric Ocasek's solo albums along with Ben Orr's "The Lace". I can't begin to tell you how happy I am to have this album back in my collection. I hope to see Greg Hawkes "Niagara Falls" solo album released someday. I have never heard it entirely. Back in the 80's we didn't have Amazon or the Internet to find things. If the local market didn't carry it, you couldn't get it.
Elliot's bonus tracks are a great added feature to this album also. I like "The New Cars" and would like to hear more new songs from them. Even though there are only Elliot and Greg in the band, again, they have an awesome ensemble of musicians.
I recommend any avid Cars fan to check this album out."
