Free Music Review: Yay
Hit: 5 Stars
Though it may seem cliched to call "Parallel Lines" Blondie's best album, it's certainly up there for me. All of the tracks are great, with absolutely no fillers.
I have this album not only on CD, but also on vinyl, and I'm glad that I do. Each provides a separate listening experience unique to its own. I could listen to the album in its entirety, for it really fits every mood and never grows old.
"Parallel Lines" starts with the pounding "Hanging on the Telephone," and then delves into the hit "One Way or Another." Now that's a start that's going to draw people in. "Parallel Lines" also shows the band's soft side with "Fade Away and Radiate" and a Phil Spector sound with "Sunday Girl," not to mention the disco-y "Heart of Glass." Great song after great song, this is one of my favorite albums.

Until 1978, Blondie was perceived mostly as a '60s-referencing, British-Invasion-meets-girl-groups band. With veteran producer Mike Chapman at the helm for their third album, though, everything changed for this group bred from the New York punk scene. Honing in on Blondie's strongest points--Deborah Harry's come-hither vocals and Clem Burke's powerhouse drumming--Chapman helped recast the band to the power pop side of new wave, and with impressive results. Driven by the punk-meets-disco chart-topping hit, "Heart of Glass," and the herky-jerky "One Way or Another," as well as a muscular cover of the Nerves' "Hanging on the Telephone," Parallel Lines established Blondie as major stars. --Billy Altman
