Blondie: Parallel Lines (Chrysalis)
Harry Doherty, Melody Maker, 9 September 1978
BLONDIE'S third album seems designed to cater for two distinct requirements: a) to satisfy the near-hysterical cries for the pure pop of the band's debut album; and b) to consolidate their popularity with the hard-rock audience that helped chart the second set, Plastic Letters.
