Album Notes & Community Reviews

Blondie flawlessly followed the colossal success of 'Parallel Lines' with this incredibly vibrant, highly melodic collection of diverse pop-rock anthems. 'Eat to the Beat' is a remarkably energetic, wonderfully playful new wave classic that seamlessly blends driving power pop with sensual disco undertones and Debbie Harry's signature urban cool.
