Beauty and the Beat (30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) [Remastered]

The Go-Go’s’ debut is one of rock’s most perfect encapsulations of the teen experience. It’s all here: jittery energy, romantic longing, and carefree fun—fueled by a uniquely Californian blend of surf-rock, power pop, and fizzy punk. Anchored by the rumbling kicks of “We Got the Beat,” the album moves from the lovelorn delirium of “Our Lips Are Sealed” to the sweet-tart thrills of “How Much More” and “Skidmarks on My Heart.” From start to finish, it’s an irresistible sugar rush.
