Known the world over, the famous title track proves the band's arrangement skills were in perfect shape and set the stage for a record overflowing with memorable hooks and complementary rock riffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003col\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eSince You're Gone\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eShake It Up\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eI'm Not the One\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eVictim of Love\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eCruiser\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eA Dream Away\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eThis Could Be Love\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eThink it Over\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli\u003eMaybe Baby\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eShake It Up\u003c\/i\u003e also plays witness to primary songwriter\/vocalist Ric Ocasek's increased cynicism and biting wit. While the Cars never took a rosy-eyed view of romance, the songs here impart a newfound sense of sympathy, regret, limbo, and reservation. The beauty of the Cars – and all ten tunes here – is that the music suggests something else entirely. Such subliminal emotions and dynamic contrasts act as a magnet, and the band plays as if it's in on the secret.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eApart from the party vibe of the title cut, the Cars aim for deeper targets and smarter undertones. \u003ci\u003eShake It Up\u003c\/i\u003e is defined by an urban edginess and modern feel that comes alive on tunes such as \"Cruiser\" and circular \"I'm Not the One,\" a pop gem laded with stacked vocals and keyboard lines that double as a horn section. The band's arrangements have never been better – or more involved. Absent the cheesiness that would mar the group's late-period work, the songs ride on the strength of keyboard-heavy lines and layered harmonies. You will not be disappointed.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded at the band's Synchro Sound studios by famed Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker, the album takes advantage of electronic textures and varying timbres in immersing the listener in accessible albeit abstract washes of sound.
