Surprise! It's good
I didn't expect much, but I bought this album out of sheer nostalgia. Listening to the first track I was horrified, and even thought I might have the wrong CD. But then it takes off and...what fun! Blondie is back.
WOW!
Sonically stunning, danceable, and surprisingly modern sounding, "The Curse of Blondie" is anything but an exercise in futility from an oldies act. Sporting cool, heavy guitar sounds under the plethora of hooks, this record has the rock/disco hybrid we expect from Blondie, but without the slightest retro feel. Even Deborah Harry's vocals are revamped with new harmonies, and surprisingly tough hot chick lyrics. This is their strongest effort since "Eat to the Beat", and it blows the doors off of the comeback album "No Exit". Highly recommended.
Nice surprise
I was vaguely aware that one of my favorite bands from the seventies, Blondie, was playing again. But I had not figured they would be doing anything really noteworthy.
Fortunately I took a chance and bought a couple of their new CDs, and it turns out that The Curse of Blondie is really good. It contains several tracks which one may consider amongst their best ever. For example Background Melody, Magic, and Rules for Living, just wonderful songs.
I warmly recommend this album, and I think it's awesome that people who have been in the music business for thirty years can rise up and create something this fresh and strong.
