Negative Positive
Title: Shed the curse?
Review: The No Exit album sealed Blondies 'comeback' succesfully, and there is no doubt that the band will continue to be relevant if they continue recording material of this calibre.There are MANY great trax on the cd, the majority of which are typical Blondie (although eclectic - they still have their signature 'sound'). My personal favourites are: Goodboys, Undone, Diamond Bridge, Golden Rod, Rules for Living, and End to End.So why a 4 star rating?For tme, there are 4 really weak trax, that literaly go know-where, and dont seem to have any purpose other than to fill the album out.Background melody - trying to recapture Tide is High? - badly.Magic - Trying to recapture Debbis 'calamarie' - badly.Hello Joe - simply - nothing, the song doesnt develop into anything.The Tingler - Another nothing song, lyrically thinks its more clever than it is.Overal, an excellent album, and a truly welcome return. Shame aboout those 4 trax...
