Summary: A real Throwback
Comment: Marshall Crenshaw's self titled album was nothing like it for the time. As a fan of older music, I really enjoyed this album for many reasons. First, in a synthesizer-happy era, Crenshaw said no way and stay to the basics of rock and played it strait - this is why the album holds so well some 25 years later.
He was obviously influenced heavily by Buddy Holly which comes out not only in his sound but his looks yet it works. Unfortunatley in this modern era of corporate rock, Crenshaw is lost. If if wasn't for a soundtrack I ran across, I would have never heard "Someday Someway" which lead me to this album. This is truly a feel good album with solid rifs and has well written, produced, and performed music. Give it a chance!

Summary: Pure pop perfection
Comment: The word "perfection" keeps popping up in the reviews for this CD, and I have to agree. The first time I heard of the album was when it was first released in the summer of '82. I was in the mall, at the Record Bar, and they were playing it. "Cynical Girl" was playing, and they had the album cover propped up on display. I was hooked immediately, but when I heard "Someday, Someway" a few days later on the radio and remembered the artist's name, I said No, I gotta get this. I remember buying it on a Saturday and putting it on while I cleaned my apartment. Blown away. I couldn't believe how perfect this album was. Not a single song that could be classified as filler. It ranks as one of my all-time favorite overall albums, and my absolute favorite from the '80s. This and Diana Ross's 1980 Chic-produced album are the only two LPs from that period that I could listen to from beginning to end and find nothing but damn good music. I'm glad young people are discovering Marshall Crenshaw. A true pop wonder.

Comment: This record is an absolute gem, and a MUST HAVE for anyone who loves pop music. I remember exactly where I was the first time I heard the wonderful strains of Marshall Crenshaw's marvellously crafted music. I became a fan that day, and I've been one ever since. Every song is great and I can honestly say that I never get tired of listening to the wonderful tunes on this recording.

Summary: The start of a long relationship.....
Comment: This album was my intro to the talented Mr. Crenshaw and I've been a fan for 26 years now. Very upbeat tempo pop rock that gets you singing along and tapping your feet. A great start to a long and distinguished career.

Summary: Marshall at His Absolute Best
Comment: I've had the original LP of this album for years, but just recently got reconnected with it after buying the CD. One of those rare albums where every single song is fantastic and many are incredible. Several hits came out of this. A must have for any music lover.

Editorial Reviews:

Marshall Crenshaw's self-titled debut arrived at a time when post-New Wave rockers were examining the music of past decades and adapting its sounds and attitudes to their own. Crenshaw's dead-on melodic sensibility, empathetic lyrics, and deeply ingrained sense of pop structure and sound made the record 1982's best. This special edition--intended, like the "hits" package This Is Easy, to reintroduce the singer to the audience he's always deserved but often failed to find--includes nine bonus tracks that collect some fine rarities (the cheeky B-sides "You're My Favorite Waste of Time" and "Somebody Like You") and illuminate Crenshaw's deep connection to older soul and rock. To hear Crenshaw and band play obscurities by the Miracles, the Parliaments, and Edwin Starr to roaring early-'80s crowds is to be reminded of a brief but highly optimistic era that Crenshaw's vision all but personified. --Rickey Wright
