The band reportedly started working on this shortly after releasing their previous album in 2011 and it was supposedly ready to go over a year ago. Delay after delay after delay. It finally happened in May and was piggybacked onto a greatest hits redux cd. Easy to hear why... this album sucks. In an effort to be relevant in today's market, Blondie has pieced together a dance record via computer and it sounds like it. Generic, dull, boring, flushable...
Yeesh.....see what I mean? While researching a clip, I found some live footage that was essentially unlistenable. They went through this same phase on their first "comeback" around the turn of the century, trying to be "current" and not the methodology that made them stars. I'm not alone in my repugnance as I happened across more than a couple of reviews that questioned the rationale for this record. There was only one redeeming quality to be taken from "Ghosts of D..."...
...the cover art.
