MASTERPIECE January 16, 2008
Mr. D. mcgrath (England)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

The previous reviewer from South Africa must have been listening to a different Deborah Harry. I bought this album the first time it was released in 1989 on cassette, then I ended up buying the CD, then the remastered CD. She was the first proper pin-up, her picture adorned every schoolboy's bedroom wall in the late 70s/early 80s and the UK charts during this time was dominated by her band Blondie. br / br /Def Dumb Blonde is a masterpiece - some of the finest material ever written and recorded by Deborah Harry. "Get Your Way", "Bike Boy" and the brilliant "Maybe For Sure" are my personal favourites but the whole album when I first bought it got played to death! br / br /It is great to see that, despite being nearly 63 years of age, she is STILL writting and recording material that would put artists more than half her age to shame. br / br /Great album and great price and an ESSENTIAL purchase for anyone with even a remote interest in her work.

"MUSICAL HEAVEN" August 25, 2009
Mr. G. D. Taylor (UK)
MANY YEARS AGO A VERY SPECIAL FRIEND, WENT TO AMERICA FOR A HOLIDAY, ON HER RETURN SHE PRESENTED ME WITH A CASSETTE CALLED DEF DUMBBLONDE. THE MUSIC ON IT IS EXCELLENT! I HAVE TRIED FOR YEARS TO FIND THE ALBUM ON CD SO I COULD LISTEN TO IT IN THE CAR. RECENTLY I PURCHASED A LAPTOP AND DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND THE CD, IT WAS GREAT VALUE AND DELIVERED VERY QUICKLY. RESULT ONE HAPPY BUNNY.ME!

Blonde and smart ! September 21, 2002
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Among most Blondie fans Def Dumb Blonde is Deborah Harry's most appreciated solo album. Most likely because this is her solo album which comes closest to Debbie's work with Blondie.brI want that man, Lovelight, Get your way and the pure punkrock: Bikeboy, Bugeye,Comic books and Forced to live could easily be recaptured under the Blondie name. This album contains three beautiful ballads: Calmarie, Briteside and End of the run which are breathtaking! The only song which is a mistake is the annoying I'll never fall in love.pGreat album especcially if you love Blondie !

Lacks the Blondie spark July 22, 2007
Pieter (Johannesburg)
1 out of 3 found this review helpful

This album offers little of the Blondie magic. There are very few catchy hooks with the pop spark that made the band's songs so special. Most of the tracks are mid tempo ballads but the songs don't really stay with the listener. br / br /Sweet and Low is loosely based on the lyrics of the hymn Swing Low Sweet Chariot, He Is So is a mildly pleasant pop ballad as is Brite Side. Bugeye starts out promising a rock approach but then goes nowhere in its tunelessness. br / br /The long track End Of The Run consists mostly of spoken word parts alternating with some singing. I Want That Man is a welcome exception, a tuneful guitar-driven interlude with some poetic lyrics approaching Blondie at its best whilst Lovelight, another rock number, offers a certain atmospheric charm. br / br /There are some nice instrumental flourishes on Kiss It Better. Besides I Want That Man, my other favorites are Maybe For Sure which has some rousing singing and a good melody and Calmarie with its tribal rhythms. This is not by any means a bad album but I have been spoilt by the power pop of Blondie and therefore expected better.
