5/10 p kodis (July 15, 2004)
That funny feeling that you have never been here...
A classic line from Tom Baker and Leela on Dr Who But at the
time it was the TV show to watch.
As we Moved along With Eat to the Beat When Auto American came
out Blondie moved into Rap and Pop...This Album caught me off
guard and at the time I didnt like it but the change hit me
hard too...Gone was the Head banging Blondie and here was
another cutting edge theme. Years later You can see the
change and Like it at that time it was hard to change gears.
Besides Rapture and The tide High Which are Blondie Classics
There are songs that go back to older blondie Themes like T-birds and Go Through it...
Not a First choice Pick but its not the first 4 albums either..
This Album Made Alot of Fans though .The Pop and Rap theme
was New in early 80s and many joined the Blondie Fan base.
