Album Review
MTV had become a major marketing tool by 1984, and the Cars were one of the first bands to use the new video medium to their advantage. The band's fifth album, Heartbeat City (Elektra), spawned several imaginative and memorable videos, which translated into massive chart and commercial success, making it one of the biggest releases of the year. Produced by hitmaker John "Mutt" Lange (AC/DC, Def Leppard), the album included two Top Ten singles — the ballad "Drive" and the charismatic "You Might Think" — plus an additional two that landed in the Top 20: the summer anthem "Magic" and the eccentric "Hello Again." But it didn't just stop there, plenty of other tracks could have been hits as well, such as the sparse rocker "It's Not the Night" and the breezy pop of "Looking for Love." Other highlights included the ethereal title track, the melodic rocker "Stranger Eyes," and the moderately paced love song "Why Can't I Have You." Although the Cars experienced their greatest success yet with Heartbeat City, it would unfortunately not last for long — after just one more studio album (1987's spotty Door to Door), the band split up.

by S p00n zExcellent album without question, great relaxing jam for entire family. Anyone with a good sense of 80 already has this album, if not I'm sure you inprocess of downloading as you read. Enjoy!

ONE OF THE GREATEST 80'S ALBUMS... BY FAR!!!!!!!
by Little Miss PeepersHalleluiah!!!! FINALLY! For too long I-tunes had this as a partial album...
This is by far one of the single greatest '80's album to have been produced by an American band. To get an understanding of what New Wave was all about, to comprehend the amazing fusion of cutting edge electronic media, quirky punk rhythms, and generous hints of good ole' Rock n' Roll, HEARTBEAT CITY is the best place to start. This album produced more hits for The Cars than any of their other creations, and is full of great tunes that never got radio play but are anything but filler ("It's Not the Night," "Looking for Love," and the incredible "I Refuse.") Do yourself, your friends, your family, and even your neighbors a big favor and buy this album. You will not be disappointed.
