Title: Some Ocasek / Some Cars
Product review: Pick this one up, because you won't be able to find it for long. This CD is a great mix of styles from the Cars to Ric's offshoot style of darker tunes. Perhaps the strongest songs on the release are "A Little Closer", "Don't Let Go" and the title cut "Quick Change World". The style on this album is most closely analagous to one part "This Side of Paradise" (Ocasek solo) and one part "Door to Door" (the Cars final release).In my opinion, this is the most under-rated of Ric's solo efforts since it went out-of-print so fast. Of all his solo efforts, I would say this runs a close second to "This Side of Paradise" as his best apart from the Cars.Probably the three weakest tracks are "The Big Picture" (sounds like a prelude to Ocasek's joint venture release of "Getchertikitz"), "What's on TV" (repetitive lyrics) and "Help Me Find America".
