The Cars' Candy-O returns as an expanded double LP, pairing the band's sleek 1979 second album with a second disc of bonus material.
Arriving just a year after their hugely successful debut, Candy-O had the unenviable job of following one of new wave's most perfect first records. Ric Ocasek, Benjamin Orr and company reunited with producer Roy Thomas Baker and tightened everything, trading some of the debut's sunny hooks for something cooler, sharper and a little more nocturnal. Even the sleeve, painted by pin-up artist Alberto Vargas, signaled a glossier, more provocative band.
"Let's Go" is the big one, with Orr's effortless vocal riding handclaps and a synth line that sticks like gum, and it became one of their signature hits. "It's All I Can Do" is a lovesick, gently chiming slice of power pop, while "Dangerous Type" closes the album with a slinky, swaggering stomp.
In between, Greg Hawkes' keyboards and Elliot Easton's precise guitar leads keep the arrangements lean and wiry, and the title track rushes by in a jittery blur of nervous energy.
The extra disc gives longtime fans a deeper look at the band during this period, while the original album still stands as new wave at its most stylish and self-assured.
