| | Riot City Records. |
| | The label was set up in 1980 between punk band Vice Squad and Heartbeat, for the release of music from bands riding the second wave of punk. | | | In its four years of activity the label saw an explosion of British punk music, releasing some 29 singles, and 12 albums during its reign, regularly dominating the Independent Chart. | | | Originally it had been the bands' intention to select the bands who would record for the label, though during the first year of operation touring commitments dictated little output, and following just four releases, control was returned Heartbeat. |

| | Amazon.com: Heartbeat City: Music: The Cars |
| | Featuring the hits "Hello Again", "You Might Think", "Drive", "Heartbeat City", and "Magic" is one of the Cars finest albums, second only to their debut album. | | | While I like the hits on the album, especially "You Might Think", and also "Heartbeat City", the remaining album tracks are marred by overprocessed vocals and incessantly cheesy background vocals (for example, listen to "Stranger Eyes"). | | | The Cars' blockbuster 1984 album, Heartbeat City, reached #3 on the 1984 Billboard Top 200 chart, and contained five hits, the biggest hit being "Drive", which reached #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart, and #3 on the Billboard Top 100. |

| | Parliament - Chocolate City - Mercury/Casablanca/Universal Chronicles Records |
| | First, as typical for a transitional album, the disc is too tentative, and second, in contrast to the debut, this sophomore effort is much too uneven. | | | The creation was gradual, although at first, the group’s next album, Chocolate City, certainly does not seem to be a transitional effort. | | | Despite the attempts of all concerned, Chocolate City is an album in the uncomfortable position of straddling the fence, soaking in the safety of the past while eyeing a future evolution into P-Funk. |

| | Planned as the second Naked City album, its release was delayed for years over both musical and artistic issues. | | | This album is essentially a live version of their debut album — 17 of the 20 songs come from Naked City, sometimes in the same sequence. | | | The series includes an album of ambient music (Absinthe), the soundtrack for an SM film (Heretic), an album that consists of a single 30-minute track (Leng Tch'e), a live album (Knitting Factory 1989), and four albums of hardcore/jazz/rock fusion (Radio, Naked City, Grand Guignol, Torture Garden). |

| | * Dusted Reviews - Royal City * |
| | Royal City hit a critical nerve with 2001's Alone at the Microphone, a fairly dark album that mixed bluegrass/country songs, lo-fi Drag City-style folk, and sunny pop into a distracting patchwork. | | | The second half of the record is dominated by slower numbers that recall The Band in their instrumentation and structure, but manage to avoid "Ain't that the Ways" insincere nostalgia. | | | Otherwise, Little Heart's Ease is half-full of shimmering pop numbers like "She Will Come," easily the most dynamic song Royal City has recorded so far, with a hand-clap breakdown and a chorus of singers that calls to mind fellow Canadians the Hidden Cameras. |

| | Parliament: Chocolate City [remastered] - PopMatters Music Review |
| | Musically, the spoken-word vocals of "Chocolate City" predict hip-hop, and the song's amalgam of funk and jazz stretches musical boundaries. | | | The second single from the album, "Ride On" is a monster funk dance jam powered by a savage, distorted bass line - courtesy of the legendary William "Bootsy" Collins -- tied to some heavy cymbal work on the one. | | | With "Chocolate City", Clinton turns the tables on white society, which had begun to see inner cities as God-forsaken ghettos and the suburbs as the Promised Land. |

| | Pitchfork: We Are The World: Fucking Hardcore Rules!: John Zorn's Naked City Live, Vol. I |
| | For example, when Naked City changes style more than twenty times in fifty seconds on "Speedfreaks" (not included here), you gradually stop listening to genres and pay attention to the sound of the band itself. | | | Naked City played not by the rules of an art band, but of a rock band-- where good ideas don't matter if you don't have the balls and raw talent to get them across. | | | Naked City played several pieces that jumped from one idea to the next, sometimes at dizzying speeds: "Latin Quarter," with the melange of styles replicating a walk past clubs in New Orleans, or the abrupt jumps from country to hardcore on "New York Flattop Box." |

| | Big Star: Radio City - PopMatters Music Review |
| | This review focuses on their second album Radio City, because many, including me, consider this to be the band's creative peak, capturing on vinyl all the chiming glitter and power of melody that can be expressed with electric guitars and high, lilting, tortured, I-Don't-Care-If-You-Like-It lyrics and vocals. | | | Radio City opens with the instrumental, "O My Soul," putting on display the kind of guitar playing that only could be accomplished by mastering the guitar parts from the best Stax/Volt records. | | | There was a tacit power struggle as to the direction of the band during their first album, #1 Record, and Alex wanted control. |
