Format:Audio CD
Crimes of Passion from 1980 is a superb album of tuneful & catchy rock & pop, including dramatic ballads & uptempo heavy rock. Around this time, Pat was one of the top four female rockers along with Ellen Foley, Debbie Harry of Blondie and the leather-clad Joan Jett.
Pure rock with sparkling cascades of guitar is manifested in You Better Run, the pop ballad in Never Wanna Leave You and the serious side of rock in the disturbing, tempo shifting Hell Is For Children which deals with child abuse (..."hell is for children/and you should not pay for your love/with your bones and your flesh" ...).
My favorites include the rock ballad Hit Me with your Best Shot, the vibrant & rhythmic Little Paradise which should have been a huge hit, the rollicking Prisoner of Love and her interpretation of Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights which is quite good - who else would have dared? It's got more of a rock punch in the choruses, with whining guitars & pounding drums.
Those who like melodic rock along the lines of Blondie, Joan Jett, The Cars and even The Knack will enjoy Crimes of Passion.

A saucey title for an excellent CD.
Pat Benatar has such a powerful vocal range, which this CDs audio quality has done well to capture.
A recommended buy for the CD collection.

One of the things about a Pat Benatar album, you might know all about the hit singles like "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and "Hell Is For Children" (a very ironic ordering of tracks to be sure), but what you always get are a couple of gems that are actually better songs. On "Crimes of Passion" that would be the Geraldo/Benatar composision "Never Wanna Leave You" and the cover of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heighs." Benatar is one of those artists who could put together an awesome disc of "B-Side" songs that never pop up on a greatest hits CD. She might have training in singing opera, but the lady can rock and roll big time. The irony of course was that Benatar does her big song about child abuse and no one really notices because it is a rock and roll song and then Susanne Vega gets all sort of notice for doing the same thing with her "folk" song "Luka."
