Blondie Plastic Letters [1978]

In February of 1978 Blondie released their sophomore album - Plastic Letters. This is where Blondie really starts to shine - everything comes together, and you have pure perfection in melodic, upbeat rock 'n roll. The songwriting is better, everyone is writing - and you get fantastic style diversity. The music sounds superb, you've got some excellent keyboard work from Jimmy Destri, which adds a strong stylistic theme throughout the whole album, and the band's entire sound.

The songs are so successfully varied, ranging the gamut of early rock 'n roll, popular standards, ballads, edgy rockers, punky attitude, sweet love songs - and everything in between.

This album is a great example of everything wonderful about Blondie. Deibbie Harry sounds amazing, her style is strong. Everything is going at full force. While their debut album is extraordinary, this album and the ones to follow are what you listen to Blondie for.
