Album Notes & Community Reviews

Stepping momentarily away from his duties with The Cars, Ric Ocasek delivers a debut solo album steeped in heavy, mechanized synthesizer programming. The slick, highly polished new wave tracks lean even further into the futuristic pop aesthetic that defined his primary band's most significant commercial triumphs.
