The Romantics: The Romantics
Mitchell Cohen, Creem, April 1980
I CAN'T ACCEPT Shelley Hack as a Charlie's Angel (Spelling-Goldberg should burn in Nielsen purgatory for rejecting Claudia Jennings, who proceeded to smash up her car and end her life). And I don't buy The Romantics as this year's most-likely-to-succeed power pop quartet. Pale, mimetic poseurs, both.
