8th studio album by Blondie following the band's comeback album No Exit from 1999, an album that sold well, although, it wasn't really good. This is a better album but the album failed to chart, and I suspect the predecessor helped burying the (brand of the) band. Blondie tries hard to come out as a resurrected synthpop band with something to offer, but it's really far from essential.
