BLONDIE: The Hunter
(Chrysalis)-
A subdued one, this. Blondie were never renowned for their risk-taking and after Debbie Harry’s extremely rickety solo bash went down like a lead balloon, this finds them ploughing the safest ground possible. The new songs are as light as “Sunday Girl” or “Union City” but never as hard-edged as “Rapture” or “Hanging On The Telephone”. Only the chugging “Orchid Club” and the oddball “The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game” stand tall and proud. (5 out of 10)
