when I heard the lead single "You are the girl" when first released
I thought the cars were becoming somewhat of a parody it sounded worn
I still don't like the song
but there are plenty of good songs despite the albums somewhat weak moments
opening cut "Leave or stay" and "Tao Tao Wayo Wayo"actuall very old cars numbers brought up to date
the Ocasek sung moody "Fine line"
and the country tinged Ben sung "Everything you say"
are particularlly good
the poppy "Strap me in"
as well the heaviest song the cars ever recorded
the title track "Door To Door"
(including some great double bass drumming by Dave Robinson)
"Go away" is another infectious song
"Double trouble" is very eighties rock that is cars metal
The Cars may have started to chug slightly at this point
Yet this album is alot better overall then the critics gave it credit for
and it does rock alot more then "heartbeat city"

Oh hell, what happened here. This would not be a bad addition to the collection for reved up cars fans, but lacks the sound we came to know the group for. Worth nothing more then a $1 bargain at the local record fair, the only song that brings the group to their trusted synth-rock style is "you are the girl". "Double trouble" seems to be a left over jamming session from "Heartbeat city", with some selling potential as a single, but sounds too raw. Would have been nice if they given it some more production work. "Fine line" was a shellow effort which somewhat reminded me of a Leonard Cohen song, but without the soulful texture. Most of the album sounds nothing more then some inferior noise, like the group no longer having that magical desire. Not worth the effort of re-buying on cd.

I don't know why this album often gets dismissed, I know it's one of their weaker ones, but it's still good. Any fan of 1980's pop-rock should like some of it, and any fan of "Heartbeat City" should like most of it. "You Are The Girl" is the only real hit here, and though the first half of the album is good, the second half (or side two) is better. "Strap Me In" is a strong "Cars" rocker, and both "Coming up You" and "Wound Up On You" are good and catchy soft-pop tracks. Then "Door To Door" slams the album shut with a bang. Overall, it might not be as classic as the debut, but at this point, these "Cars" had alot of mileage.

The Cars at their not very best
This is the first and most recent studio album for the Cars since the release of THE CARS' GREATEST HITS in 1985. The songs are very good in this album. Read more

AN OK CD FROM A GREAT BAND/ GRADE C
The Cars ended their great run, with an ok cd. If this cd had been released before HEARTBEAT CITY, it would have seen like a stronger cd, but H. CITY was just a super strong cd. Read more

In with a bang, out with a dud
Door to Door is really sad, and I mean that in the pajorative sense. This CD is creatively bankrupt and sub-par. I love the Cars and I think they were a cool band. Read more

Last one for a reason
The Cars were spent by the time this came out. Their time had passed, and their music was stale. I was as much a Cars fan as anyone, but this one was painful to listen to. Read more
