Pat Benatar
Crimes Of Passion

Crimes of Passion is an unintentional tribute to the talents of producer Mike Chapman–not that he had anything to do with the record. Rather, the sodden songwriting and excruciating excesses of Pat Benatar's second album make you belatedly appreciate the tailored bloodlessness of her Chapman-produced debut.

Aside from inspiring the definitive look for any "babe" in the 1980s, Pat Benatar also delivered a string of undeniably strong AOR records between 1979 and 1982. Crimes of Passion was her second and worked as a blueprint for much of the semi-hard rock that dominated the airwaves in that decade. "Hell is For Children" is the one you may have forgotten about.
