The Cars Unlocked: The Live Performances is a 2006 live album and video of American new wave band the Cars released by Warner Music in 2006. The album has received mixed reviews due to the mixed quality of the source material.

Reception

[edit]

Greg Prato of AllMusic gave the album a positive review, with the editorial staff awarding it four out of five stars. Prato praises the diversity of the video choices while criticizing some of the quality of the recordings, summing up that it is "a most welcome addition to the Cars' discography".[1] At DVD Talk Jon Sinnott recommended "skip it" due to poor audio and video, although he praised some of the performances.[2] For PopMatters, Adam Besenyodi echoes the sentiments that the actual audio-video quality is low but it serves as a valuable document of the band, with songs ranging from "good" to "unwatcheable"; he recommends that the CD edition "shouldn't be skipped".[3]
