Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time - Rated 284/500! Numbered, Limited Edition! Half-speed Mastered From the Original Analog Tapes!
One of the most successful and enjoyable debuts in history, The Cars self-titled album doubles as a greatest-hits collection. Thats because not one song here is unrecognized or unknown. A huge reason why the Boston quintet became Americas most popular new-wave band, The Cars launched eight tracks still regularly heard on radio stations everywhere. Consider the hit list: "Youre All Ive Got Tonight," "Good Times Roll," "Just What I Needed," "Moving in Stereo," "My Best Friends Girl," and "Dont Cha Stop." If youre a fan of pop music, this album is a must-have. 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. Orrs low, understated singing and Ocaseks 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 accents country-tinged guitar fills, echoing Syndrums, reggae splashes, hard-rock tones and robotic pulses.
And now, The Cars sounds better than it has in any previous incarnation. Half-speed mastered from the original analog tapes, Mobile Fidelitys numbered limited-edition LP allows the musics 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 listeners senses and hold them at bay. Mobile Fidelitys unparalleled pressing epitomizes the sensation of "moving in stereo"!
The Cars album Candy-O (MFSL 1-324) also available on Limited Edition Mobile Fidelity 180g Vinyl.
