Cars reunion? Works for me
Some preliminary reviews are calling this stuff "boring" or saying the band hasn't grown or developed. Horse hockey! The music isn't boring. It's vibrant rock & roll written the way rock & roll was intended: crammed with hooks and tied together with barely-comprehensible lyrics. The Cars have figured out what so many bands with a very long history so often forget: It's the simplicity in rock music that provides much of its appeal. And I say that as one who's into complex music as from the Dixie Dregs and Dream Theater. When you've got a great guitar riff played with energy you've got the makings of the great song (Tom Petty take note).
The Cars look like they've still got it.
