Product Description

CD Description
1979's EAT TO THE BEAT was Blondie's fourth album, and the first to follow the enormous commercial breakthrough of 1978's PARALLEL LINES. Though its singles, the brilliant "Dreaming" and the disco-influenced "Atomic", were lesser hits thanPARALLEL LINES' "Heart of Glass" and "One Way or Another", EAT TO THE BEAT's success cemented Blondie's status as by far the most commercially viable of the first wave of New Yorkpunk bands.
By this time, the band's always-tenuous connection to punk was barely noticeable; the artsy "Victor", the Springsteen-ish "Union City Blue", written for the soundtrack of Debbie Harry's first film, Steeltown, and the reggae-tinged "Die Young Stay Pretty" are early evidence of the sort of casual genre-hopping which defined the band's next album, AUTOAMERICAN. The ripping title track, "Accidents Never Happen" and the dreamy "Living in the Real World", however, are more typical Blondie fare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Platinum Blondie, 28 Sep 2001
By A Customer
The outstanding feature of Eat To The Beat is the immaculate drumming of Clem Burke which makes this album rock like no other Blondie record. The three singles Dreaming, Union City Blue and Atomic are familiar to everyone. But any of the songs here could just as easily have been worldwide hits - the beautiful Shayla, the catchy pop of Slow Motion and sweeping rock of Accidents Never Happen wouldn't be out of place on any Best of Blondie compilation. There are also several classic Blondie new wave thrashes, the best of which are Living In The Real World and the title track. The only hint at what was to come is the cod reggae of Die Young Stay Pretty. Blondie were never this good again, but then neither was anyone else.

5.0 out of 5 stars The most beloved Blondie album among many Blondie fans!, 24 Sep 2004
By A Customer
Eat To The Beat is the most loved Blondie album among many Blondie fans. Eat To The Beat was the follow up of their millions sold Parallel Lines album. The Parallel Lines singles: Heart Of Glass and Sunday Girl had topped the british charts and then Blondie continued their hits with the #2(UK) single Dreaming and the UK #1 Atomic two real BLONDIE CLASSICS featured on Eat To The Beat. Two more singles where drawn from Eat To The Beat: UK single Union City Blue and the US single The Hardest Part. Furthermore on this album: Slow Motion which easily could have been the fifth major hit on Eat To The Beat, if it wasn't for Call Me (a non album single which was released right after Atomic)hitted the number one spot in the USA and UK. Shayla a beautiful ballad! The reggea tinted Die Young Stay Pretty is Blondie's first attempt in reggea which is georgeous by the way! The title track Eat To The Beat is a country rock song. Accidents Never Happen is a very haunting song which brings you to a fancy meeting in a smaller world! The last two songs on the album: Victor and Living In The Real World are pure punk/new wave, great !!! The only weak track is to my opinion the lullaby Sound-A-Sleep. The bonus tracks are very ok too !! featuring the Johny Cash cover Ring Of Fire and the David Bowie's cover Heroes both performed live as a bonus on Eat To The Beat !! AN AWESOME ALBUM !!! IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT ALREADY: BUY IT !!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Eat To The Beat - An Urban Rock Classic, 27 Jun 2002
By Mr. N. F. Barnes "nigel792" (Bristol United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
From the minute I heard the first single from this album - which was called "Dreaming" I knew that this album was going to pack a lot more punch than its predecessor "Parallel Lines". Strongest songs on here include the much underrated "Union City Blue", "Slow Motion" which implies itself as Sixties orientated with Phil Spector suggested melodies and lyrics, the title track which would have made a cracking single, the brilliant new wave disco of Atomic I believe was written about a race horse, and the most harrowing track on the album, "Victor" about a fugitive who leaves Debbie Harry devastated and screaming about her impending desolation. The chorus is of course sung well by Debbie, but the song "Victor" carries the group's own brand of pathos into a new direction. It almost goes hand in hand with "Atomic" and its strident nuclear dreams.
