You bet it is. All the things that they did best are represented here: punk, power pop, girl group, and disco. Deborah Harry is in top voice, inventing her soon to be trademark wail of "whoa wo, wo wo, wowa ha". There is not a weak cut on this Cd. Eat to the Beat opens with Dreaming, a sonic assault of drums and chiming electric guitars and is followed by the equally ferocious double entendre laden The Hardest Part. The wall of sound Union City is followed by my favorite track Shayla, where Blondie does something no other band of this era did, Sci-Fi rock. Shayla, who worked in a factory, is abducted by aliens while driving down the highway. The song is a sonic blast of drama and mystery. Die Young Stay Pretty was their first try at calypso and Atomic was the disco follow up to Heart of Glass. The Cd closes with I'm Not Living in the Real World which pretty much sums it up after this intelligent and always fun collection of songs. Blondie will never top this CD for it's sheer adrenalin and originality.
