Metamorpho-Let Your Light Shine Down...........2007-07-24

After the Cleopatra episode (which has happily embedded itself into my conciousness) I had another dream whereby the all elusive premier ultimate force of the Universe spoke to me. "You realize that you are a part of the eternal conciousness and collective soul of all". Said with total aplomb, I might add. "Yes. But what does it all mean?", I asked with equal aplombably. "Oh nevermind", was the exasperated reply. "Here's a c.d. , pop it into your dune buggy tomorrow"! Now folks, you have to remember that I envison the Ultimate Force as wearing a Seer's hat. And why not? Certainly the Universe has to be user-friendly, and something I can relate to. Then again, they say that universal remotes are user-friendly as well. I think it's time to beckon Cleopatra to reappear.
That said, we have hear the Best of Collective Soul 1994-2001. I took it and indeed played it in my dune buggy, happily motoring past mimes, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum, and starfishes of reknown. A sunny day. The winds flowing through my grey (but substantial) Seer's hair. The music was certainly a rush. And I cannot offer a better remedy to listen to while stuck in rush hour. The traffic is not a rush- but this music is.
Be advised, this music is not for the faint of heart-but it is very well done accomplished rock.
It is hard for me to zero in on any one song here. Probably because the tunes, for the most part, offer up enigmas that cannot often be easily answered. And yet, there are songs that prod one to think about reality in more meaningful terms. "Why can't you listen? Why can't you hear"? from "Listen". "I was blind, but now I see", from "Precious Declaration".
In many ways- the lyrics try for a breakthrough of the mind. Excellently written in concise and short verse, it is also home to many an alluring hook. This is not metal. This is not soft-rock and easy listening. This is rock at some of it's finest and most listenable. So very well done.
I think that if you start this and listen all the way through , you will find fine arrangements, nice accompaniment, and substantial rock grooves to make you move. The ballads are grand and the rockers can be hard and insistent. In all, not a bad job at all.
I would say, though, that this band is not classic-thus the four stars. But, if you like good rock music-it certainly deserves 4 and 1/2 stars.
So good. And let's not forget the l.p. scratchiness of "She Said". Funny that c.d.s, with their ability to give pristine clarity should want to imitate the l.p. But, that is a touch that gives this album just another reason to like it.
Now it is time to put the pedal to the metal and see what this dune buggy can do. Whoa! Is that the beach police gaining on me? Time to contact that ultimate souce! Now-where did I put that cell number?

Calling collect---your desperate Metamorpho

Awesome Hits.......2007-07-16

I am a die-hard Collective Soul fan. I have followed them since their first album and "Shine." This is an excellent greatest hits CD and a great start for someone just discovering them or someone wanting a sample of their music. "Energy" is a great song, too, that can't be found on the other albums.
There are only about 2 or 3 Collective Soul songs that I don't care for much, so the other CDs are still great even in addition to this one.

Good classic stuff!.......2007-02-06

This music was some of the best when I was in High School. Great stuff!

Greatest Hits.......2007-01-11

I am very happy with my purchase of this CD. I am a big collector of Greatest Hits and adding this one to my collection is just a bonus especially if you enjoy the 90's alternative rock genre.I highly recommend it.

Melodious rock.......2007-01-09

This music is evokes a deep sense of reflection for me. Besides, the product is beautifully melodiuos.

It's unfortunate that Terri Clark gained her highest chart debut with "Girls Lie Too," a hideously cartoonish song that perpetuates stereotypes about the sexes and, by its success, about country music fans. Clark, a Canadian tomboy in a rakish and attitudinal cowboy hat, has always played on her image as an independent female yearning for a relationship as strong as her personality. That worked well on a number of early songs, especially "Better Things to Do" and on the new "One of the Guys." But clearly she's yearned to expand her subject matter, and in recording songs co-written with Kim Richey, Beth Nielsen Chapman, and Mary Chapin Carpenter (a live version of their "No Fear" appears here), she nurtured the questioning side of her inner singer-songwriter. Clark has never really fit any kind of niche, and one suspects she's now caught between trying to stay alive commercially and satisfying herself as an artist. Greatest Hits is a colorful road map to the first 10 years of her journey, even as she seems to be doubling back on certain stretches of that highway. --Alanna Nash

Kickin Canadian Country.......2007-06-13

This album is an excellent compiliation of Terri Clark tunes. This is excellent mainstream country. First off, Terri has a voice with an accent and has also a kind of rough [but not at all in a bad way] quality that is perfect for this kind of music. The instruments play country music but with a rockish edge at times when needed. Lots of good songs. Here they are:

Better Things to Do - a sassy tune telling a guy that she is over him and moved on

When Boy Meets Girl - a boy is about to discover love

Poor Poor Pitiful Me - good Terri take on the Zevon tune

Emotional Girl - good, fast. The singer tells a guy to realize she's got passion and he better be ready to handle it.

You're Easy on the Eyes - kinda gritty and a bit randy. The singer is physically attracted to a hot guy but is remembering that he is trouble otherwise.

Little Gasoline - singer is driving away from some junk in her past and is enjoying freedom.

I Wanna Do It All - uptempo number about living life full bore

Girls Lie Too - Once the listener accepts that this song is not meant to be taken seriously, then it's humorous. It's about women also making excusing and massaging guys' egos with little white lies at times. Not sexist, just joshing.

One of the Guys - singer isn't a pretty, fragile thing. She can hang out with the boys and do the "rough stuff" too.

Very good compilation album of contemporary female country. It helped me get into listening to more country in addtion to the rock and pop I glomed onto as a kid.

A Decade of Terri Clark.......2006-07-28

Terri Clark is a four-time winner of Canadian country music's prestigious "Entertainer of the Year" award. Greatest Hits 1994-2004 is a retrospective of Terri's career and includes 14 of her biggest hits, making this a great album for any fan of country music. From the first song, "Better Things To Do," to the last, "No Fear," listening to this album is like following Clark along on her journey from her early start to the top of the country music charts.

Guts, beauty, a cowgirl hat, and pure Raw talent!!.......2006-04-26

Terri Clark deffinately showed NO FEAR when it came to putting this cd together. Terri untimately shows that she can hang with ONE OF THE GUYS, with her tomboyish looks, and her guitar slinging, her sexy cowgirl hat that truely makes her EASY ON THE EYES! EVERTYIME I CRY, the heavy- hitting domestic violence song, Shows Terri's passion for womans rights. EMOTIONAL GIRL shows that Terri can be sensitive, as well as getting on with her life in BETTER THINGS TO DO, without saying POOR POOR PITIFUL ME (penned by the late/great Warren Zevon, also remade by the beautiful and talented Linda Ronstadt) shhhh, don't tell, Terri's version was much better. NOW THAT I FOUND this cd, I find that GIRLS LIE TOO, really? THAT I WANNA DO IT ALL, and I JUST WANNA BE MAD for a while. It didn't take A LITTLE GASOLINE, but alot of time and effort from Terri for each one of these beautifully presented songs. So IF I WERE YOU, I'd buy this cd. Before the next BOY MEETS GIRL.

I saw her in concert last month, great show! I had to have her CD and it is just fantastic! Real country music at its best!! I highly recommend this CD if you like country music.

This Is A Great CD for any fan of country music. Terri Is easily one of the best modern country singers and if you have not listened to her then this CD is a good introduction.

When Aretha Franklin signed with Arista Records, marking the end of the 13-year tenure at Atlantic that saw her transform both her own art and the face of soul music itself, she was at loose ends. Even when she scored hits for the new label, they were often the result of casting about for a commercial foothold in the post-disco marketplace rather than the savvy combination of pure artistry and smart trend-watching of her greatest Atlantic moments. Thus, the tracks collected on Greatest Hits (1980-1994) are hardly her most essential; "Jump to It" and "Freeway of Love" are fun, but "Jimmy Lee" and the George Michael duet "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)" reflect fairly dull accommodations with '80s pop conventions. --Rickey Wright

Her best from 1980-94 plus a few new tracks........2007-01-02

Aretha Franklin's Arista recordings are filled with as many hits as misses. Whereas her Luther Vandross-produced sets ("Get It Right" and "Jump To It") were both excellent most of her other releases were simply too trendy and overproduced. While I won't deny that Aretha experienced a deserved career revival during the mid-'80s I'll also say that there were many embarassing moments on virtually all of her post-1984 Arista albums. This IS a good collection of her post-Atlantic work but most of her Arista LPs simply don't hold a candle to her 1967-74 Atlantic works.

By 1980 the sparkle was gone.......2006-06-30

My attitude towards Aretha Franklin is multi-facetted. Some twenty years ago I started to be intrigued by her voice, but these were always just brief moments of thrill. The problem was that I had picked the wrong times in her career: too early and you're stuck with gospel music (which I happen too enjoy at most in church, but not on records), too late and it's bland disco. In particular, in the present compilation spanning 1980-1994, "Another Night" remains the only OK track, once you've experienced the real Aretha. For me that happened recently when I bought (after listening to many 30 second sound bites) the 4cd collection "Queen of soul" (the Atlantic recordings). These cds capture her at the peak of her power (1967-1974). This is R&B with FIRE. With me and A.F. it works like this: the harder the better. (In her slow songs there always is a kind of Gospel feeling that I dislike; as opposed to e.g. Ashford&Simpson who did gorgeous slow ballads.)

Excellent collection of her Arista hits!.......2005-10-28

Most people know Aretha Franklin for classic hits like Respect, Think, Natural Woman, The House that Jack Built and others. Some think that she's still on Atlantic Records since she had many hits there. But they should know that she moved forward in her music career. Which brings to this Greatest Hits album for her Arista era. This has her finest efforts such as Freeway of Love, Who's Zoomin Who, Love All The Hurt Away, Jump To It and many others from the 80s/90s period. But I love Honey, the new song that Babyface did for this album. I play that more than Willing to Forgive, the song that was a hit. Pride (A Deeper Love) proves that Aretha could tear it up on a high energy dance song with the Clivilles and Cole team! Aretha's efforts with Narada Michael Walden, Peter Wolf and others here were just superb efforts that I still listen to today. That she continues to amaze and excite listeners today is quite something. She is a true Queen of Soul!

NICE!!!!.......2004-09-02

I enjoy this album this is a nice album I really do like this album itcontains some of Aretha's hit from the 80's thru 1994.
I think that it is a very nice album and it contains some nice songs. It contains Jump to it, Jimmy Lee, Get it Right, I Knew You Were Waiting For Me, Who's Zooming Who, Freeway of Love, Everchanging Times, and manymore great songs I would reccomend this album to any Aretha Franklin fan you would definitely enjoy this album...

Hits from the 1980s and beyond.......2004-07-28

Aretha's star seemed to fade during the disco era of the middle to late 1970s, but then she made a comeback. This collection covers her time on Arista from 1980 to 1994 and distils the best work from five albums. It includes the huge hits Freeway Of Love and the duet I Knew You Were Waiting For Me (with George Michael). Other impressive songs include Jump To It, Doctor's Orders (with Luther Vandross) and Get It Right. I also like Willing To Forgive, Ever Changing Times, A Deeper Love and this version of Natural Woman featuring Bonnie Raitt and Gloria Estefan. Her version of Jumpin' Jack Flash is quite a tour de force with Keith Richards doing his thing on electric guitar. Although I prefer her classic work from the 1960s and 1970s like Spanish Harlem, Respect and her exquisite rendition of Bridge Over Troubled Water, this collection demonstrates that she found lots of new spark in the 1980s and contributed a memorable body of work in that and the following decade.

After a 10 Year Partnership, Four Albums and Over

Customer Reviews:

One of the Best Female Pop Singers of the Modern Era.......2007-04-02

Tina Arena is undoubtedly one of the best female pop singers of the modern era. Her stunning voice & vocal delivery are up there with the very best of the best. And to match this she has a large repertoire of top quality pop & adult contemporary songs. I, like many people, was always amazed that she never became a massive star in the USA. Even her home country Australia eventually turned its back on Tina - who knows why? But, she was smart & moved to a country (France) where her talent, artistry and professionalism would truly be appreciated. Anyway, this Greatest Hits collection is a must for any true Tina fan or anyone wishing to become one! My alltime favourite Tina song - "If I Was a River" - is adult contemporary music at its absolute best. 5/5.

America - you don't know what you're missing..........2007-01-30

Like many reviewers, I have also wondered why Tina did not catch fire here in the USA. She has a magnificiently controlled voice, is a knockout to look at, and is a fantastic "live" performer as well. My only guess to her not breaking big in this country is the fact that right now what is "on the charts" is unfortunately not really geared towards artistry, but attitude. Sadly, when the radio programmers and owners look for the money, they have to play what is in vogue, and what is in vogue in the US right now (and for some years) is not necessarily anything that requires talent. One of the reasons Tina did not achieve what she deserved in the USA is that she was not seen or heard like she should have been. Europeans, Australians, Canadians, Japanese...they all know a good thing when they see and hear it, and Tina's success in those respective areas of the world prove it.

Suggests That the US May Have Missed Out On Something.......2005-01-19

It's quite the travesty that more people didn't give Tina Arena a chance, at least stateside. She looked as though she might break back in '96, thanks to the crackerjack single "Chains", and follow-up "Show Me Heaven" was recorded specifically with US radio saturation in mind. Alas, like so many good things in life, it wasn't meant to be, and so success in Australia and later Europe had to suffice. It's a shame, as she possesses one of the more smashing voices in pop circles(as Sony's attempts to fashion her as the Australian Celine Dion amply attest to). Still, as compilations go, this particular one is quite stellar and reaffrims that Arena had far more in her beyond "Chains". Highlights include the aforementioned "Chains" and "Show Me Heaven", "Burn", "If I Was A River", a fantastic rendition of "I Want To Know What Love Is", as well as her recent, more dance-oriented material("Soulmate #9" and "Dare You To Be Happy"-the remix here shames the original). On the very miniscule downside, I was never much a fan of "Heaven Help My Heart" or "Now I Can Dance", and though "Symphony of Life" is a lovely, electronica-laden tune, Arena's hefty vocals don't mesh particularly well with that type of music(more suited to Dido or the like I'm afraid). Still, as a whole, this set outclasses alot of the assembly-line dreck that seems to be multiplying at an alarming rate nowadays. Highly recommended.

Enough About Amber.......2005-01-08

I'm so sick of getting on any female diva message board or postings at all and seeing this guy writing about Amber. It's very obnoxious. Write about Amber at Amber's site or in comments about her album. I personally really like Amber's new album too, but stop.

2 Recommended CDs.......2004-12-25

Fans of Female Singer/Songwriters should definitely check out 2 New Releases: Tina Arena - Greatest Hits and Amber - My Kind of World. Though practically unknown in America, Tina is a Superstar in France and her native Australia. This Disc contains all of her hits, including the Diane Warren penned "If I Was a River" (recorded for the U.S. Version of "In Deep"). Amber's latest CD is "My Kind of World". Her first Single release "You Move Me" has already hit #1 at XM Radio. Although not a Greatest Hits release like Tina's CD, "My Kind of World" may as well be. It is packed with potential Singles. "Voodoo" is already being remixed as a Second Single Release for early 2005. And the Whitney Houston Meets Pat Benatar Power Ballad "Sacrificial Lamb" and the Pat Benatar-esque "Just Like That" are possible 3rd and 4th Singles. My advice to fans of Female Singer/Songwriters? Get BOTH Tina Arena "Greatest Hits" and AMBER "My Kind of World".

Great Songs But Not the Best Compilation.......2004-06-18

I've already reviewed several old Venom albums, so I won't say too much about the music on this CD. For the most part, it's pretty good stuff, with just a few exceptions. True, the sound quality could be a little better, but what are you gonna do? There are several other Venom anthology CDs that sound better, but this one has a few "rare" tracks that are difficult, if not impossible to find elsewhere. The first three songs are demos that can also be found on "Skeletons in the Closet"; "Under a Spell" is different than the version on "Calm Before the Storm"; "Nothing Sacred", also from that album session, is a song I've never seen anywhere except here; "Dead Love" is also from that period, but was originally released on the live LP "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" and was originally called "Love Amongst the Dead" (that version was better though); "If You Wanna War" & "Surgery", with Cronos' replacement Tony "Demolition Man" Dolan, are two songs that only appeared here (I Think); "Countess Bathory (Live)" also with Dolan, was featured on a Venom live video called "Venom Live '90". Now onto the disc as a whole. The record company, Deadline Music, a division of Cleopatra (Huh? Whoever heard of those jerks?) are a bunch of inept idiots who have no idea what they are doing! First, on the back of the book, some of the songs aren't even listed in the correct order; second, "1000 Days in Sodom" is listed as live but it's NOT; "At War With Satan" is supposed to be a demo, but only the first three tracks are. It's also not even the complete version of it! Third, there is nothing from "Possessed" or "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik". "The 7 Gates of Hell" is also missing. Those morons at Deadline/Cleopatra don't have the brains to release a Venom recording of any kind. Still, even after all that, this CD (or one of the other "In Memoriums..") might be a good purchase because of some of the "rarer" tracks. But that's the ONLY reason to buy it.

Great Songs But Not the Best Compilation.......2004-06-18

I've already reviewed several old Venom albums, so I won't say too much about the music on this CD. For the most part, it's pretty good stuff, with just a few exceptions. True, the sound quality could be a little better, but what are you gonna do? There are several other Venom anthology CDs that sound better, but this one has a few "rare" tracks that are difficult, if not impossible to find elsewhere. The first three songs are demos that can also be found on "Skeletons in the Closet"; "Under a Spell" is different than the version on "Calm Before the Storm"; "Nothing Sacred", also from that album session, is a song I've never seen anywhere except here; "Dead Love" is also from that period, but was originally released on the live LP "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" and was originally called "Love Amongst the Dead" (that version was better though); "If You Wanna War" & "Surgery", with Cronos' replacement Tony "Demolition Man" Dolan, are two songs that only appeared here (I Think); "Countess Bathory (Live)" also with Dolan, was featured on a Venom live video called "Venom Live '90". Now onto the disc as a whole. The record company, Deadline Muisc, a division of Cleopatra (Huh? Whoever heard of those jerks?) are a bunch of inept idiots who have no idea what they are doing!

Good but not great..........2002-06-10

While this cd could serve as an adequate introduction to Venom, by no means is it definitive. There is very little here to represent the band's peak period ('89-'93) with lead vocalist Tony Dolan. The absence of 'Clarisse', 'Acid', 'Into The Fire' and 'Crucified' is almost unforgivable in this compilation.

Not entirely sure about the previous reviewer ..........2001-04-20

All the tracks on my copy of the CD were complete. Agreed, the sound quality isn't what you'd get from the high production budgets of today's major labels - but remember that this is original raw thrash from the 1980s - not the Top 40.

This is a "must have" for fans of black metal or thrash (particularly Bathory's early works) who want to know how it all started - but don't feel like buying Venom's entire back-catalogue.

For those who prefer a "cleaner" sound, I highly recommend seeking out Kreator's excellent cover of Witching Hour.

Best of Venom.......2000-08-03

This is a horrible CD. It sounds like the tracks were recorded off of an old scratchy album. Worse, none of the first five songs are complete songs. Beware of this album.
