New Album from The Cars "Move Like This"

It's just great to have some new material from Ric and the boys. It' a little strange having Ric sing every song on the album so obviously Ben is sorely missed. No, the record is not quite to the same level as the original classic Cars albums, but how could it be? Still, it is a lot better than many of the other so called long awaited comeback records that have been released lately. A lot of people dismiss the cars music as over simplistic, but these people miss the point. The simplicity is completely intentional, and besides I think a lot of people would be surprised how difficult it is to write good coherent simple songs. I have been a huge Cars fan from the very beginning and I would agree with a previous post that Candy-O is their masterpiece, but of course the debut is an all time classic and Heartbeat City doesn't have anything resembling a weak track on it. Panorama, their third LP is arguably not their best effort but still remains one of my favourites.

I read an interview with Paulina and she said she was sick of pretty boys she did shoots with; no attraction. I guess that explains her choice of a goofy looking rich rocker like Ric Ocasick. Since we're on this side topic, the same can be said for J Lo's husband Marc Anthony; butt ugly!

Rcrerar,
I agree with you. I still listen to Panorama quite often.

Panorama is my favorite The Cars album. Their first two recordings were filled with catchy tunes that went down like a shot of smooth Boubon,easy on the ears. But Panorama was different,it took some time for that album to settle in on me which strangely was what i was hoping for. Sometimes we like our music to challenge us,to take us musicaly where we haven't been before.

The cars is not the same since Benjamin left this world. :(
