Orr’s low, understated singing and Ocasek’s cool, detached vocals lend shades of doubt and double meaning to the lyrics, which are further counterbalanced by orchestral keyboard flourishes and electronic beats. Led by Ric Ocasek and Benjamin Orr, The Cars managed to unite then-disparate styles: bubblegum pop melodies, angular art rock, progressive arrangements, and terse minimalism. Just call it the best new-wave rock album ever made. Consider the hit list: “You’re All I’ve Got Tonight.” “Good Times Roll.” “Just What I Needed.” “Moving in Stereo.” “My Best Friend’s Girl.” “Don’t Cha Stop.” If you’re a fan of pop music, this album is mandatory. A huge reason why the Boston quintet became America’s most popular new-wave band, The Cars launched eight tracks still regularly heard on radio stations everywhere. That’s because not one song here is unrecognized or unknown. One of the most successful and enjoyable débuts in history, The Cars doubles as a greatest-hits collection. It is a recital of songs set to French texts, and for me the highlight of it is. In fairness to Mari Eriksmoen and Chandos, this is not first and foremost a Canteloube recital.
