The Bobcat Nation

Well, this takes me back ... I'm sitting here listening to a new The Cars album. I would have been stoked about this around 1990, and it's still pretty cool now.

It's pretty catchy stuff so far ... sounds very retro.

Never heard of 'em...

Don't know how many time I gotta say this while shaking my fist in your general direction, got off ma lawn!

Hey, I can appreciate the 70's. Nothing like Foreigner, though.

You know BAC, we may not agree on many things...But, I agree, this new Cars album is pretty bitchin'!

I just bought The Cars greatest hits album from Amazon MP3 for $5, I had no idea there was a new album! Might have to check it out.

Plus Ric Ocasek was the producer for the first Weezer album, possibly my favorite rock album of all time.

Though this is a Cars thread, that by the way I need to check out, thanks BAC... I would also recommend The Doobie Brothers new album entitled World Gone Crazy!

Cool news, BAC.

Can you name a few of the better tracks? I'd like an intelligent opinion before I drop in on iTunes (where the most popular songs aren't always the best).

I listened to the whole thing while working, so I wasn't paying much attention to the individual tracks ... sorry, not much help there. But you can listen to the whole album for free from the link I provided, so if you have the time, you can sample the whole thing to see what you like.

I'm just going to buy the whole album -- it all seemed pretty solid.

Good that they have a new album...bad that Benjamin Orr is no longer around so it's ultimately not The Cars as they really were.
