FAVORITE blondie album
when one is used to parallel lines or eat to the beat, youre going to really dislike this album, which strays from the typical 2 minute happy, poppy mainstream blondie songs. its not a surprise that so many people here didnt like this album.
this album has a more melancholy nostalgic gloom to it than any of the others, as the band knew the end was near. now, whether you like that or not is a matter of personal opinion. i happen to really appreciate that dark edge to this album. the only song i dont care for on this is little ceasar, but the rest of the songs are fantastic.
put it this way: if you liked the mood of 'angel on a balcony', then youll like this album. buy it. if you prefer 'the tide is high' type of song over 'angel on a balcony', then dont bother.
anyone stating that this album is bad is saying that they dont care for the moodiness that encompasses this entire album. the album itself is great-- its my favorite one.

Not Nearly As Bad As Some People Say!!!

THe Hunter
I was already a major Blondie fan (still am), so what could have been a better present? Took it out of the shrink wrap, put on on Orchid Club and just grooved on it. This album came out around my birthday in 1982. The album has been called a megabomb and an uderrated classic. It's both and neither. For Eyes Only captures Blondie at its most playful, Danceway at its most peppy,The Hunter gets Captured by the Game at its most sensual. English Boys, The Beast, War Child and Can I find the Right Words to Say. However, it also contains 2 of the worst songs ever. The Star Wars Dragonfly is just inane. But Little Caesar is the absolute worst. Debbie sounds like she was inhaling helium on this track. .


An underappreciated gem!
By 1982, the band was ready to call it quits, but they were contractually obligated to deliver another album. As all the other reviews have likely pointed out by now, The Hunter was Blondie's final album until their reunion in 1999 with No Exit. Many have said the band sounds "tired" here, and the songs aren't up to the standards established by masterworks like Eat to the Beat and Parallel Lines. Some even say this album is completely worthless. Well, as a hardcore Blondie fan, I have to respectfully disagree! The Hunter is full of great tunes just waiting to be discovered. Lyrically and rhythmically, many of these songs are among their very best. My favorite by far is "War Child". I especially love the extended version of this song included as a bonus track on the remastered edition. "Danceway" is a lot of fun, as well as the driving "Orchid Club" and the Bond theme that wasn't to be, "For Your Eyes Only" (I prefer this to Sheena Easton's sappy hit). "English Boys" and "The Hunter Gets Captured By the Game" (a Marvelettes cover) are two of Blondie's best ballads, and even the second-tier songs like "The Beast" and "Island of Lost Souls" are very catchy. "Dragonfly", "Little Caesar", and "(Can I) Find the Right Words (To Say)" are perhaps the album's weakest, least memorable songs, but they are by no means bad. I don't believe there is such a thing as a bad Blondie song or album -- just don't expect something like Parallel Lines and you will probably enjoy it. Check it out!.


Sad Mess
This album is nothing but the record companies last grasp at some dough from the fans of what was a great band. Blondie as a band was over before this album was released. This mess should just be forgotten. It is an ugly stain on a their history. .
