Yeah, End Of The World & Sleeping Giant - they're two of my favorites off the whole thing. :) Unfortunately they aren't available on any other release but it's definitely worth it.

Just saw them at the Borgata in Atlantic Cityon Friday night! (the usual dull casino crowd for the most part) We got front row center section but were told to sit down :-(

The setlist was pretty amazing - Union City Blue, Dreaming, and Atomic opened the show, but since a majority of the room only sort of knew Dreaming they were given a lack luster welcome which was a huge disappointment... (UCB is prob my fav Blondie song, so I was thrilled!)

New songs are GREAT on stage and DH was, of course, playing with the fans in the crowd. So we still had a great time, each of us got a stick from Clem and a setlist too!

Anyone else catch them lately?

I'm going to see them tonight in Raleigh, NC. I've never seen them live, but I've been waiting for this moment ever since I was 12 years old and discovered their wonderful music and the gorgeous Debbie Harry.

The new album is superb! It's the perfect blend of styles that made Blondie the trailblazers they were back in the day.

Couldn't agree more! :) I still listen to it in its entirety almost everyday.

I was particularly a fan of Blondie's late 70's to early 80's (except "The Hunter" :shocked:) & "No Exit" was good return. Though, the only 2 DH solo albums I liked are "Koo Koo" (loved Nile Rodgers at the time) & her last one "Necessary Evil".

Anyway, I've had this new album for months (since it was released in the UK) My brother-in law is a HUGE Debbie Harry fan, and let me rip it. I've skimmed it, for the most part liked what I heard, but haven't delved or listened any further. I need to start listening to this! And unfortunately, Blondie isn't planning on any dates thus far in the Denver/Boulder Colorado area, which sucks!:cool:

I love 'The Hunter'! It was a very troubled time for the band and I think it's fully expressed in the lyrics, the album cover, and even Debbie's voice throughout the record.

Well, maybe it was expressed via the things you point towards, but there was definitely trouble brewing in the quality of the songwriting & production:cool: I did enjoy "Danceway", "Little Caesar" and a few others, but "Island Of Lost Souls" & "War Child" were hot messess :o
This album was a MAJOR flop, but I do miss Jimmy Destri's contributions. :angel:
