Album Review

alfonso paradise [allmusic.com]

Wonderful fourth album full of catchy songs and good New Wave rhythms. Very diverse content and great song order selection. Album opens up with the melancholic ''Since You're Gone'', one of The Cars' best songs, continues with ''Shake It Up'', a very energetic and cheerful one, and goes on with the beautiful love-themed song ''I'm not the one''. After these three real gems, the album flows well but without maintaining the same level of excellence. ''Cruiser'' and ''This Could be Love'' add a different, rockier tone to the album, and ''A Dream Away'' can be a lot of fun if you like synthesizers and progressive rhythms and listen the song at high volume. Track 4 & 8, ''Victim of Love'' and ''Think It Over'' are more pop-oriented, while the last song, ''Maybe Baby'' is the perfect closure for a delightful album.
