Here's hoping "sony records" can do something with hopeless pete!!!.......2006-05-26

I never actually bought this album but must say i had considered it,but not after all the reviews & bad buzzzz.I will
not be buying this half grade science project.I must say that i am a dead or alive fan from the past,i have most or all their albums,but really had hope for the best,thinking pete & dead or alive would come back stronger than ever but alas not so,i can only hope with dead or alives new contract with "sony" that maybe this will wake pete up and help him come back to reality.Fans of dead or alive should of expected this from dead or alive especially pete himself if you are a fan and ever read anything on dead or alive you will know pete was only in this for the money,big time.Pete,you really lost my hope for the group around the realease of the nude album & your ridiculous attempt at music & your waste of money on your obsession for being & looking like the next liza minnelli/cher rip off :(

P.s if anyone out there thinks this is a bad attempt at music then you really need to see pete & the boys from dead or alive try their hand at "videos".... evolution:the videos...no i'm sorry i have that wrong "Evolution:the total crap videos,the only video's on this dvd that actually had any production value worth watching are: you spin me round,my heart goes bang and lover come back to me..oh and maybe the new version of you spin me round...the worst has to be "unhappy birthday" and "something in my house".Now i truly understand why their videos were never in heavy rotation or actually seen the light of day on music video channels...should had saved it for the comedy channel.... :(

THINK I WANNA' DANCE NOW!.......2006-02-01

This collection of remixes is worth the cash baby. Not superior by any means are these re-works, alas, they are DoA great! If you're a DoA fan, may I suggest this collection?

Oh dear lord...time to pack it in........2006-02-01

I totally agree with the previous reviews. I am a die-hard Dead or Alive fan and have been since way back in 1983, circa "Sophisticated Boom Boom". I bought that album way back then and was hooked.

Fast foward over twenty years and, as my fellow reviewer commented, this is indeed a prime example of what happens when a great band lose complete control over both their material and career. I really don't want to hear any more versions of "You spin me round" as NONE will ever, ever be as good as the original (i'm talking about the 7" and both 12" - "Murder" mix from 1984 & the "Performance" mix, from 1985).

This CD really is absolutely horrendous. Really, really utterly awful...and at this price? Oh please, is this really what has become of probably the one band who's music both excited and inspired me back when I was younger? Sure, there were other bands and singers but Dead or Alive would always come first for me. Of course, bands and music tastes move on - such is the natural order of things - but I never believed it could get this bad, not for Dead or Alive. But it has. Stock Aitken Waterman have often been criticised but let's not forget it's their fantastic production that made Dead or Alive what they were, a great pop dance act with brilliant songs with a real quality to them....try listening to them now, they still sound superb.

I don't know what Pete Burns wants these days. Does he want to make more records? or is he just happy to transform himself into the worlds first living, breathing plastic Ken doll? What I do know is that i'd rather go with the 2nd option if this awful CD is an example of Dead or Alive's future. Also, it annoys me that he just doesn't seem to give a hoot about his fans or his back catalogue. It does make you wonder why we bothered in the first place...oh hang on, I know why...it's because Dead or Alive made brilliant records! I implore you then to please ignore this and go for their earlier albums instead, then you'll know exactly what I mean, just listen to the great songs...then compare them to this.

For now, as someone who has bought probably every Dead or Alive record going, this is a total waste of great talents. Time to pack it in boys and leave us with the memories.

Unimaginable.......2006-01-25

Worth a listen, once, just to hear how bad things can get for a group that's in an unfavorable recording contract with a record label. Not only did Avex Records demand that DOA's last full length release, "Fragile", be composed of 50% previously released material, but they also issued this abomination on the world, much to the horror and displeasure of Dead Or Alive.

Indeed, look at the sneer on Pete's face on the insert sleeve, and take heed of his warning. Could you imagine being stuck on a rickety carnival ride for 50 non-stop minutes? This is the musical equivalent of it.

The tracks from "Fragile" are "re-imagined" here in a series of increasingly monstrous incarnations, welded together from leftover 2 Unlimited riffs that were already stale in 1996. Wickedly fast, you would break your neck dancing to these tracks, and quite possibly break your eardrums listening to them. The mastering on the "Fragile" release was murky, to say the least, but some of the moments here make it sound absolutely pristine--not that a crystal-clear transfer would make these songs sound any better (in this form). The brilliant original material on "Fragile" deserved better treatment. These tracks deserve the "erase" function.

Normally I take into consideration the fact that everybody who writes these reviews has their own unique opinion, but this is one case where I absolutely cannot understand the positive remarks that have been left here by some. How could anybody like this? Were we listening to the same album? Because the one I heard was literally unlistenable.

Caution!.......2006-01-22

Dead or Alive will always be a fav' of mine. Pete Burns is certainly unconventional, yet intriguingly sexy all rolled into one, but this cd leaves something to be desired. The tracks are old and rather blah, not to mention the harsh quality of the music which sounds as if it's being played on some dirt cheap music box with the volume turned all the way up. And NO, I don't own some dirt cheap music box.

Nonetheless, I suppose this cd is a must have for all those die-hard DOA fans. Heck, I've added it to my collection. The price is a little high for something I don't listen to very often, but I do like that it's an import with Japanese writing on the jewel case sleeve.

Unbearable.......2006-01-16

This should have been thrown into the rubbish bin upon completion. Worst DOA record of all. I think most of the fans of the band would like to overlook this mess.

Unbreakable - Big Come Back for DOA !!.......2005-06-15

Despite all the bad reviews been written on this album, I seriously think we should give the Japanese the CREDIT to release such a "come back/remixed" album for DOA.
I love all the tracks in there.
Surprising to hear such good works from DOA after so many years.
Get this FANTASTIC album if you are a die-hard DOA fan like myself!
