    This album is a wellspring of the bandmates' combined creativity and an ode to free-spirited artistic expression. Bravo.

    In a place where post-Warhol art-as-disposability has turned into all Snooki/Britney/Lindsey/Khardashians all the time, Blondie strikes a blow for pop culture that's not stupid, wasted and empty.

    Panic of Girls rushes forth on a sleek new wave disco pulse that's entirely unconcerned about whether '80s retro is in style this season or not. This is fashionable music existing outside the realm of fashion.

    None of it will set the Saturday dancefloors on fire with pouting thrills, though it may sound cool enough over coffee in the cafes of Sunday morning.
  5. If only the other half of this album didn't spiral off into wretched reggae stylings, this would be alright.

    The weakness is the music. [Aug 2011, p.79]

    They reportedly had some difficulties securing a label for this release. And Unfortunately, it's easy to see why; Girls hits the panic button pretty early on. [Jul 2011, p.78]

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Despite the years Blondie knows how to make good songs, I love it for that. Peru loves you, Debbie. My favorite song is What I Heard.

    Although I met them recently, it makes me a great and great band.

    A fan's opinion: Panic of Girls is the best after Eat to the Beat. Many of the songs take us back to their career highlights. What I Heard hasA fan's opinion: Panic of Girls is the best after Eat to the Beat. Many of the songs take us back to their career highlights. What I Heard has the powerful sound of Union City Blue while The End The End leads me to The Tide is High. It is amazing to see how Debbie's voice fits perfectly in the sound. I just hope Ghosts of Download to be released without label problems. Expand

    Decir que es horroroso es poco, ninguna canción parece tener un destino fijo, la mayoría pasan sin pena ni gloria, no hay ninguna que merezcaDecir que es horroroso es poco, ninguna canción parece tener un destino fijo, la mayoría pasan sin pena ni gloria, no hay ninguna que merezca la pena recordar, y pensar que muchos dicen que The Beast es de sus peores trabajos, el cual para mí es impecable comparado con esta cosa.
