Product Description

Their #8 1982 album-a staple of the early-'80s party scene, with the irresistible smash-hit title track plus Get Up and Go; Cool Jerk; He's So Strange; I Think It's Me; Beatnik Beach , and more.

Amazon.com

Despite a great cover/title concept, the second album from the Go-Go's is the weakest of their original three. Rushed out after the breakthrough of Beauty and the Beat, Vacation sounds affecting in retrospect, but suffers nonetheless from one or three too many so-so songs--a shame, given the top-flight writing throughout Beauty. Frontwoman Belinda Carlisle continues gaining control of her voice, while drummer Gina Schock all but steals the show. But a murky mix obscures the group's charms this time out, and where the debut was sometimes dark in mood, this follow-up too often sounds simply tired. By no means a must-miss, Vacation is still unmistakably weak compared with Talk Show, which came next. --Rickey Wright

I wouldn't call it a sophomore jinx because the album is actually very good. Just not as good as their other albums

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2018

Verified Purchase

Vacation is the follow up to Beauty and the Beat. I wouldn't call it a sophomore jinx because the album is actually very good. Just not as good as their other albums. There are weak spots in the songwriting (strange or cliché lyrics') and the band tends to sound dull and uncreative at times...the album just seems to be a bit rushed. Belinda Carlisle's distinctive vocals are solid. A couple of "professional" critics have applauded her more disciplined, controlled singing on this album. But, I actually believe it hinders and confines her to the restrictions of some of the more inferior structured songs and takes away her charming spontaneity (Cool Jerk being an exception) . And, Belinda has much more vocal freedom on albums like Beauty and the Beat. However, there's not a bad song on the album and I love quite a few including, Vacation, He's So Strange, We Don't Get Along, Girl of 100 Lists, It's Everything But Partytime, Cool Jerk, This Old Feeling and Worlds Away, which closes the album. I will still give it 5 stars because I can't give it 4 1/2.

Fabulous 2nd album by The Go-Go's with newly remastered sound and 7 bonus tracks by Edsel Records housed in a digipak tray ! Also comes with a nice booklet with full lyrics and full story of the album with a few singles picture sleeve photos. Definitely worth getting unlike the old IRS non-remastered US CD that's been out there for years.

"She's dying for some medicating..."

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2013

Verified Purchase

The Go-Go's second album, "Vacation" definitely lives up to its name. After the commercial success of their debut, "Beauty and the Beat" - the girls decided to write a slick pop album. The results are very good but it's hard to top "Beauty and the Beat". I felt like the overall production of this album was a tad underwhelming. The sound quality is washed-out and some of the tracks are a little too cutesy for my taste like "This Old Feeling" and "He's So Strange". Also "We Just Don't Get Along" and "Get Up and Go" are good but not memorable because the choruses are just so-so. Don't get me wrong, I think there are some absolute gems here like "Girl of 100 Lists" which has a killer synth solo thanks to Charlotte Caffey. I also like the biting lyrics courtesy of Jane Wiedlin: "Ghetto blasters, phony jewels, cathedrals, castles, making up rules. Trashy novels and leather gloves, this is a list of things that I love. I am the girl of 100 lists from what shall I wear, to who I have kissed..." There is one song that feels like it could've easily fit on "Beauty and the Beat" album which is, "It's Everything but Partytime". It's dark and moody and you can hear the heartache and disappointment in Belinda Carlisle's voice, definitely one of my favorites tracks here. There's two tracks co-written by Carlisle that I thoroughly enjoy, "Beatnik Beach" which has a cool Beach Boys kind of feel and "I Think It's Me" in which we hear Belinda's insecurity and understandable paranoia shine through when she sings: "Can't take it anymore, my head's spinning 'round. Goin' back and forth, goin' up and down. Don't know where I stand, someone always loves a little more and I think it's me..." Girl, haven't we all been there? The emotion is so raw and real that it kind of hurts to listen to it, well in a good way of course. There's a funky and semi-cover of "Cool Jerk" with some added lyrics to make you forget about the original (love that bad, bad bass Kathy Valentine!). At first, I didn't care for "The Way You Dance" - I thought it was a too sugary sweet but it's gotten under my skin and that's just fine with me. And we get a beautiful ballad at the end, "Worlds Away". I love it to pieces and Carlisle's vocal chords are made of steel when she holds each note without her voice cracking or straining. Just breathtaking from start to finish: "Slip into bed, the sheets are cold and smooth. My tension melts to a quiet warm, find myself waiting to be sleeping, to be dreaming, to be worlds away..." And finally there's that title track which is still as infectious 31 years later. I like how the music is fun and carefree, but the lyrics are somber and guilt-ridden. I really like this album, it's not perfect - got some rough spots here and there, but at least it's a lot better than the music I hear on the radio these days. God bless the Go-Go's! Forget the Spice Girls, these 5 ladies were the original (and the most talented) when it came to girl power. Enough said. Enjoy!

This album takes me back to my childhood. It wasn't as successful as the Go-Go's first album but I think it was great. It was a bit darker and a bit ahead of their time. So I was glad to purchase this CD that takes me back to my youth.

GREAT ALBUM BUT STRUGGLING TO HEAR WHERE ITS BEEN REMASTERED

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 16, 2021

Go-gos were a great band.....girls who can actually play their instruments and write their own songs.....they were fun and didnt take themselves too seriously. Power and energy. Three studio albums (this being the second) and two American hit singles before the inevitable split and Belinda Carlisle takes her self off to world wide fame and fortune.....unfortunately, you dont get to feel how good this band was going by the "remastering" of this album.....sounds exactly the same as the original in my opinion but still a great addition to your music collection

conosco questo disco sin da quando fu pubblicato in vinile. Belinda Carlisle è sempre stata una delle mie cantanti preferite e anche oggi che ha superato la cinquantina è davvero una gran bella donna.
La qualità audio dell'edizione in CD è notevole, insomma, vale la pena acquistarlo.
