Editorial Reviews
2011 release from the Ric Ocasek and Co., their first album in 24 years. Move Like This recalls the Aft-Rock minimalistic sound The Cars are so well known for, yet at the same time, maintains significant relevance to the music of today. Will appeal to all long-standing Cars fans and open the door to a whole new generation of listeners. The album was produced by The Cars and Jacknife Lee [U2, REM]. Features the singles 'Blue Tip' and 'Sad Song'.

"Move Like This" is the Cars first album since 1987, and while it's been much too long since their last release, it was worth the wait! Aside from bassist Benjamin Orr, who passed away in 2000, all of the original members are back and they sound like they haven't missed a beat. The album's first track, "Blue Tip," is vintage Cars with Atari-era keyboards, a super catchy chorus laced with perky beats, and Ric Ocasek's trademark vocals. "Too Late" is a little more downbeat, a synth-driven tune with an electro pop foundation. Elliott Easton's guitar makes its presence known on "Keep On Knocking" and he turns in a very hip psychedelic solo. "Soon" is a ballad in the tradition of Drive, the hit that Orr sang back in 1984. "Sad Song" features a clever palm-muted guitar and on-the-upbeat handclaps. "Hits Me" and "Free" are a total recall of the new wave/pop sound the CARS had in the 1980's and captures their precise swagger perfectly. "Keep On Rocking" is more vintage Cars and has an incredible groove. While the band isn't breaking any new musical ground with their latest release, this is a finely produced album that fans of their earlier work will love, and is highly recommended!

Goose bumps all over as I take a magical ride back in time to my youth. There is no substitute for the original Cars. This album is "new-vintage", and aged to perfection! A musical treat for the ears and a warm memory morsel for the heart. Do you ever wish you could do it all over again?! Well, this album lets us all "Take Another Look"! Thanks for the fond trip back to the future! A MUST addition for your Cars collection.
05/19/2011 Update: "Move Like This" debuts at NUMBER 2 on the Billboard Rock Album Charts! Congratulations to the band and thanks to all the loyal fans that made this release a success! This century wants more Cars music! This century NEEDS more Cars music!

Just want to put my two cents worth in and tell the public that The Cars new album is really worth the cost! I bought mine at Best Buy today at $9.99 plus tax and it also included three bonus demo songs called One By One, Hits Me and Rocket USA. Also included are two music videos and they are Sad Song and Blue Tip. There is also a plastic Commemorative Pass telling the dates they play for the 2011 year and their web site! So all in all, a pretty good deal! The songs are a continuation of Heartbeat City and a little of The Cars first album thrown in for good measure! Thanks for your reading time...I'm not steering you wrong! (Get it!)...lol

Sometimes you CAN (and should) GO BACK!
I purchased this CD, and I am very pleased with it. The music clearly sounds like "classic CARs" (pun intended), without sacrificing the freshness of new music. Read more

There is nothing "wrong" with this album; it's just that it is not noteworthy. I'm a baby boomer who loved the early Cars work, so I wanted to hear this "absent from the scene"... Read more

Good to have the boys (most of them) back together. Almost like finding out the Beatles were getting back together, if it were possible

like classic cars
This cd is very much in keeping the traditional Cars sound. I would say that it has more of the classic Cars sound than Panorama. Read more

Great addition to any CARS fans' collection
I really like the performance and the songs that the CARS included in MOVE LIKE THIS. Some songs are reminiscent of CARS songs from the 1970's and early 1980's. Read more
