Music reviews of Parallel Lines
Music Review: Blondie opened a door with this album for pop music in the years to come.
Rating: 5 Stars
I have never been a huge fan of 70's music that was not made by bands like Pink Floyd or Joy Division. But Blondie made an album I realised as soon as I listened to it that created a path for a lot of bands in the years to come.
This is a fun album that has it all. Bubblegum songs to play on the radio, memorable ones meant to be timeless (a.k.a. Heart of glass, Picture this, Hanging on the telephone) and even other ones to take Blondie serious (Fade away and radiate, 11:59).
"Parallel lines" was an album that opened a door for bands like No doubt or Sublime (to mention relevant ones) in order to come up with an identity on punk, pop or even reggae. This said I must point out that this album was a pionner for many other ones with the same style and with the same attitude but, honestly as I read it in a book somewhere: "Parallel lines" has been an album that many bands have tried to "reproduce" but it has never been matched.

Until 1978, Blondie was perceived mostly as a '60s-referencing, British-Invasion-meets-girl-groups band. With veteran producer Mike Chapman at the helm for their third album, though, everything changed for this group bred from the New York punk scene. Honing in on Blondie's strongest points--Deborah Harry's come-hither vocals and Clem Burke's powerhouse drumming--Chapman helped recast the band to the power pop side of new wave, and with impressive results. Driven by the punk-meets-disco chart-topping hit, "Heart of Glass," and the herky-jerky "One Way or Another," as well as a muscular cover of the Nerves' "Hanging on the Telephone," Parallel Lines established Blondie as major stars. --Billy Altman
