Blondie: Parallel Lines (Chrysalis)
Alan Betrock, New York Rocker, September 1978
BLONDIE IS NOT a fun group and the age of innocence is over. True or False? I'm reviewing Side Two first because no side was indicated and I like Side Two better. True or False? Debbie Harry sings marvelously here because her voice was electronically altered in the studio and because people have become used to it.
