Move Like This

Move Like This is the seventh and final studio album by American rock band the Cars, released on May 10, 2011.

"[7][8] A partial reunion of the band occurred in 2005 when keyboardist Greg Hawkes and lead guitarist Elliot Easton toured with singer Todd Rundgren, drummer Prairie Prince and bassist Kasim Sulton as "the New Cars"; neither Ocasek nor Cars drummer David Robinson participated, and the Rundgren lineup split following two years of touring.

magazine comments that "[d]espite the title and lyrics, it doesn't sound particularly sad, as it contains a cheery beat and a catchy mix of synths and guitars.

[23] The album received generally positive reviews from critics: in a three-and-a-half star review, Rolling Stone praised the "skillful restraint" of the band and Lee's production work, describing the album as "taut, sleek, seamless, [and] efficient".

[19] NPR's Elizabeth Nelson called Move Like This a "fine new album" and singled out "Blue Tip" as "an incandescent pop gem" with a "brilliant" musical structure and "an absolutely relentless sing-along chorus".

[26] The performances and set lists were met with mixed reviews: The Hollywood Reporter reviewer Erik Pedersen found Move Like This to be a "surprisingly good" album but described the May 12 Hollywood Palladium show as "icy" and unenthusiastic.

[28] The Cars appeared on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in both May and September with performances filmed in May in support of the album.

In August, the band participated in Lollapalooza in Chicago then two nights later appeared on The Colbert Report, performing "Keep On Knocking" from Move Like This and "My Best Friend's Girl" from their debut album.

[27] All tracks are written by Ric Ocasek, except where noted[12]This enhanced CD also has videos for "Sad Song" and "Blue Tip".
