To be sure, Parallel Lines was resoundingly melodramatic and high octane, filled with musical and lyrical hooks, titled for two parallel lines of cocaine, with the record’s sugary goodness lasting just as about as long as it took the effect of those lines to melt away, leaving one attempting to regain that initial high, yet like the white powder, the effects of the music were fragile and just as short lived, leaving one feeling overstimulated for no good reason, sinister and entirely unsatisfied. Though that said, the album was a step out of the brooding artfulness of their previous outings. British album certifications – Blondie – Parallel Lines". British Phonographic Industry.

Parallel Lines was a significant turning point for Blondie, though to be thoughtful, everyone should have seen this outing barreling at them like a suburban commuter train, a shift in the direction of more new wave pop oriented material, defined by a stylish blend of disco and radio friendly numbers that radiated with swirling synths, Chic induced guitar riffs, along with a relentless beat (drum machine) that stood in stark contrast to the nearly honey dripping sweetness of Deborah Harry’s vocals.

In June 1978 the band entered the Record Plant in New York to record their third album, and first with Chapman. [2] However, Chapman found the band difficult to work with, remembering them as the worst band he ever worked with in terms of musical ability, although praising Frank Infante as "an amazing guitarist". Sessions with Chris Stein were hampered by his being stoned during recording, and Chapman encouraged him to write songs rather than play guitar. Similarly, according to Chapman, Jimmy Destri would prove himself to be far better at songwriting than as a keyboardist, and Clem Burke had poor timing playing drums. As a result, Chapman spent time improving the band, especially Stein with whom Chapman spent hours rerecording his parts to ensure they were right. [1] Bassist Nigel Harrison became so frustrated with Chapman's drive for perfection that he threw a synthesizer at him during recording.
