PANORAMA takes the forward-looking electronic soundscapes of CANDY-O and fashions them into driving, catchy pop tunes. Its both the most urgent and the most angular of the Cars` recordings, as the band`s self-consciousness modernism works overtime to achieve maximum accessibility. If that sounds like a compromise, think again; "Misfit Kid" and "You Wear Those Eyes" are a couple of the most trenchant compositions in the band`s career, and the unrelenting power of the hooks in "Touch and Go" and "Up and Down" blows right by any superficial notions of "selling out" (as if the Cars were ever anything other than a perfect pop conglomerate to begin with).
