The Cars with The Cars

Trying to appreciate the ride of their 1978 debut album. Find it partly nice and interesting but in other parts a bit boring. Anyway the tracks are more complex and driven by detail than it first may seem, as their main purpose is american radio pop. Similar songmakers: Talking Heads, Roxy Music, Blondie, Boomtown Rats.
