Pat Benatar - Crimes Of Passion (1980/2014) [Official Digital Download 24bit/192kHz]

Rock guru, Pat Benatar's second album originally released in 1980. Accredited 5x Platinum in the U.S., "Crimes of Passion" is Benatar's best selling album in her long-running career. The album won Benatar her first Grammy in 1980 for "Best Female Rock Vocal Performance". Featuring hits "Hit Me with Your Best Shot", "You Better Run", and "Treat Me Right".

With Crimes of Passion, Pat Benatar escaped the dreaded sophomore slump, thanks in no small part to the song that would become the most well-known song of her career, "Hit Me with Your Best Shot." The rest of the album is mildly hit or miss, with a few moments of filler. Thankfully, Benatar avoids the synth-happy trends of the early '80s and delivers a hard rocking ten-song session of power pop tempered with a few ballads for balance. And while "Hit Me with Your Best Shot" was one of her most praised moments, her version of Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" is probably one of the most underrated songs of her entire catalog.
