Music reviews of Beauty and the Beat
Music Review: Great record, BUT...The CD version is weird...
Rating: 3 Stars
An excellent album by these beautiful ladies. But something seems to be wrong with this CD "translation". Mine seems to be sloppily done, and I don't know if the newer CD versions are better. The first song, "Our lips are sealed" is amazingly chopped at the very beginning!!! My other complaint has to do with "We Got The Beat", which is a different version from what we heard on the original album, it is like a shorter edited version. That is the only reason for my 3 stars, if I could rate the LP I would give it a 5 definitely.
Anyway fortunately I have one of the 1981 LP's, so when I want to listen to this album properly, just play it like it should be heard. Notwithstanding these small things, the album is great, no question about it, these ladies were talented then and only get better with age.

When the 1970s punk scene was washed away by the undertow of '80s new wave, few bands surfed the transition as well as the Go-Go's. These Valley grrrls dressed up their punk heritage with a sense of glamour so that their music was at once ballsy and fanciful. The peppery singles "We Got the Beat" and "Our Lips Are Sealed" were their debut's chart climbers and glossiest tracks. The rest of the album has a tougher crust. For example, the jittery "Can't Stop the World" would make the Ramones proud. And take a look at the lyrical content of "This Town": "Change the lines that were said before / We're all dreamers--we're all whores / Discarded stars / Like worn out cars / Litter the streets of this town." Hole's single "Celebrity Skin" is a '90s rendition of the same theme: "When I wake up with my makeup / Have you ever felt so used up as this? / It's all so sugarless / Hooker / Waitress / Model / Actress / Oh, just go nameless." Just as Courtney Love has made a career out of publicly displaying her glam-trash lifestyle, the Go-Go's song about the self-eroding lifestyles of Hollywood revealed that they, too, were more hard living than hard candy. --Beth Bessmer
