Heartbeat City by Cars (The) (CD, Jan-1984, Elektra Entertainment)

Delivered promptly, i am very pleased and will do business with them again.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This album marked an era, the era when the cars decided to slowly leave the music scene, which happened after the next studio release, but the inspiration this album has, is that it proved The Cars were prepared for any direction music wanted to go, and on this outing, they went there! With chart success after success, The Cars wondered why they were playing to empty auditoriums? A sign of the times, which they didn't have the future predicting ability to see then , but many bands were doing the same , except for holdouts like the Rolling Stones, and other heavy hitters who were part of the big arena scene before this album was conceived . This album finesses every spectrumof Rock and Roll song and mood that one could aspire to mimic, and the Cars did it with their usual talent of tour de force , and this album, then, went to the top to prove it , with top 40 hit after hit ! This is a classic, and can be enjoyed from beginning to end without one song seeming out of place, or off rhythm ! Enjoy this superb showcase of the Group known as The Cars, it's a classic that will never be topped in style or function!

Most of the songs were good on it except for a few slow songs.Radio Stations were playing it alot in the Summer of 1984! I had it on Cassette but wore it out and never went out and bought it till I saw it on Ebay.After this album the Cars went Solo with Ric Ocasik doing an album.They had another album later on with shake it up on it.Heartbeat City will always be my favorite!
