Con i Blondie nacque la discoteca moderna, che unisce il fervore sperimentale, l'entusiasmo strumentale e il canto distaccato all'alta tecnologia e al costume punk.

Only "Maria" signals a return to the deep, dangerous pop well of Blondie's youth; otherwise, the record fails to recapture the gorgeous possibilities the group was previously able to make out of the pop buffet.
