There's now an official video for "Sad Song". Based on these two songs, it sounds like they're aiming for the [i]Shake It Up[/i] and [i]Heartbeat City[/i] sound. I'd prefer that they go back further.

Ric just shouldn't sing slow songs. If they can get Nat King Cole to sing a duet with Natalie, they can get Ben to sing here.

I might buy 3 or 4 songs, but not the whole album. Unfortunately, there's too much filler.

I hear ya. They're asking for $50 here as well. I did want to see them, but I could go to 4 or 5 other shows for that price.

I really like the album. It's very authentic. And how cool is it that an album that sounds like it was recorded 30 years ago debuts at #7 on the Billboard Hot 200 album charts? I usually don't care about those things, but I think it's kind of impressive that bands like Devo, Duran Duran, The B-52's, and now The Cars have had very respectable (though brief) chart entries in this day and age...

The Cars were my favorite group in my imprssionable years as a teen. I had long given up that Ric Ocasek would join the other members again. After seeing their performance on Jimmy Fallon, I was quite happy to see and hear that they haven't changed much except for the loss of Benjamin Orr. Ric still looks the same.

I bought their new cd (mp3s) this morning and I really like it.

I had seen the "New Cars" perform three years ago... Good, but not the same without Ric.
