     Stellar
     Rating:
      Since the Cars had created a perfect album with their 1978 self-titled debut, it would be nearly impossible to top it. Instead of laboring long and hard over a follow-up like many '70s bands did after a huge commercial success, the band cranked out their sophomore effort, Candy-O, almost exactly one year later from the first LP. And while the album was not as stellar as its predecessor was, it did contain several classics, resulting in another smash album that solidified the band's standing as one of the most promising new bands of the late '70s. The first single, the Top 20 anthem "Let's Go," proves to be the best track, but plenty of other standouts can be found as well. The title track remains one of the band's best rockers, while the gentle "It's All I Can Do" also deserved to be a hit. The band pays tribute to T. Rex on "Dangerous Type" (the main guitar riff resembles "Bang a Gong"), rocks out on "Got a Lot on My Head" and "Night Spots," shows their softer side on "Since I Held You," and embraces modern pop on "Double Life" and "Lust for Kicks." Their second strong release in a row, Candy-O proved that the Cars were not one-hit wonders, like so many other bands from the same era.

     The Cars Avoid The Sophmore Jinx With Another Great CD
     Rating:
     On CANDY-O, the Cars not only avoided the sophmore jinx, but came through with an album that's just as good as their debut. Granted, the cover art is somewhat overly suggestive, and could inspire inappropriate sexual behavior, but the songs are uniformly strong and there are very few clunkers here. This CD and the debut are really what you need by the Cars. After this album, the band tried too hard and too many things in an attempt to remain relevant as musical tastes changed.
