The Cars released Candy-O almost exactly one year after their debut LP the self-titled Cars. While not as stellar as its predecessor was, it did contain several instant "classics", resulting in another smash album that solidified the band's standing as one of the most promising new bands of the late '70s. The first single, the Top 20 anthem, "Let's Go, " proves to be the best track, but plenty of other standouts can be found as well. The title track remains one of the band's best rockers, while the gentle "It's All I Can Do" also deserved to be a hit. The band pays tribute to T. Rex on "Dangerous Type" (the main guitar riff resembles "Bang a Gong"), rocks out on "Got A Lot On My Head" and "Night Spots, " shows their softer side on "Since I Held You" and embraces modern pop on "Double Life" and "Lust For Kicks." Their second strong release in a row, Candy-O proved that the Cars were not one-hit-wonders, like so many other bands from the same era.
