eh, so so album. It had alot of standard mid-80's production, alot of the songs sounded really generic and were missing alot of the spark of the band. Island of Lost Souls and Dragonfly were tolerable tho.

They probabbly put a hole in the ozone just doing her hair for that album cover LOL.

Kinda hard to say, with most of their albums I was never really crazy about each one as a whole, with the exception of Parallel Lines, but they almost always had a few kickass songs on them.

AutoAmerican would probabbly be my second favorite, especially for Angels On The Balcony.

I also love the opening track, Scenery, from their debut album.

Okay, another Blondie question for you smile

I know "Heart of glass" was re-released with several remixes in the 90s, have you heard these mixes?

Yeah, I have them actually on CD somewhere. In the early 90's there was a series of Blondie Maxi Singles that came out, all house/techno remixes of several of their songs including Heart of Glass, Atomic, Union City Blue and others. They were really good too. There was also an album that came out, Blondie: Remixed Remade Remodeled, that had some of these mixes on it. But if you wanted ALL of the mixes, you needed to get all of the individual maxi singles. A few of these mixes also appeared on The Platinum Collection as well.
