Bring back Chisel!.......2007-06-03

Cold Chisel defined aussie rock in the early to mid 80s, and have proven to be the cornerstone for most serious aussie rock acts since. This album gives you a good slice of their material, a bunch of sweaty raw ballads that bring a sense of pride to most aussie blokes under 50 years of age. Jimmy Barnes went on to have a successful solo career in Australia, but the blending of him with Moss and Walker in this band was simply magic.
This album's collection of songs holds up today as a living snapshot of aussie pub life, and no australian bar is without a few of these tunes in their discbox.
If you like glitchy, commercial rock then this band never was for you. But if you like the rawness of a sweaty live act that was not tied to one genre then this disc will end up having a fair bit of airplay for you.
Go ahead and buy it, I doubt it will disappoint

Overrated.......2007-03-22

With all due respect to Aussies who were young when this band was hot, as an objective listener without the historical/emotional baggage I have to say that this stuff here ain't so hot. Supposed Bob Seeger joined a band which was half Huey Lewis' News and half Little River Band. You'd have something, but you wouldn't have a whole lot more than a nice, highly talented, polished up bar band. Nothing awful but nothing great.

Australian nostalgia.......2007-01-04

I was told by my friends in Australia the last song on this album is like Free Bird is for us. I don't get it. It is just another '80's rock and roll band. Nothing memorable

A Distinctly Australian Take On American Blues-Rock And R&B-Rock.......2006-03-12

Cold Chisel's music is an impressive take on American blues-rock and R&B-rock. The band sounds sort of like an Australian Grand Funk Railroad, and vocalist Jimmy Barnes is a Down Under version of Bob Seger. The songs often search for answers to hard-to-ask questions, and even when the band is singing about good times, there's a strong sense that rashness will lead to ruin. This undertone, which runs through all of the songs and comes to the fore on several, inspires me to look at photos of various TV and movie hotties as a deterrent to self-indulgent behavior. The core members' belief that the young Australian tourist convicted in Indonesia last spring for drug-smuggling was the victim of a grave injustice makes this CD an essential purchase for both your ears AND your conscience.

You Got Nothing I Want Cold Chisel!!!.......2005-08-19

This is a "best of"album by the vastly overrated Australian band Cold Chisel.At the time of these recordings the lead singer Jimmy Barnes was drinking enough vodka to keep the Soviet Union's Alcohol Industry afloat. The tracks on this album are mostly forgettable except for "You Got Nothing I Want" which was written after the band failed to "break into" the USA market. This song reminds me very much of sour grapes indeed.After listening to this sorry excuse for a song one has to assume that International Success, Fame and Fortune meant nothing to this band. Thankfully Jimmy Barnes has now cut his hair and stopped drinking which once again proves the Old Adage that drunks, like prostitutes, buildings and Politicians all become respectable with age. For some reason Jimmy is now a "
Hero" of the Australian Working Class although I have yet to meet a Working Class Man who wears a Rolex watch!!! I give this album 5 stars because thankfully this band no longer exists .

Finest in the land.......2006-02-12

Cold Chisel began as Australia's biggest 'pub band' and swiftly became our most impressive stadium rock outfit. The years since they admirably called it quits in 1983 have only solidified their likely status as Australia's finest band ever. As with all great acts, the reason for this, despite appearances, does not rest with one individual. Most visible is the iconic, charismatic frontman, JIMMY BARNES who also carved out a lucrative, but artistically less impressive solo career. In the days of Chisel, he could belt out R&B flavoured rock vocals with a shrewd and powerful authenticity. He was the perfect ambassador for the songwriting of DON WALKER who assumed the lion's share of composing for the group. As the band's true enigma, he has redefined pop songcraft into a kind of amalgam of Tom Waits and The Rolling Stones - blues infused tales of losers, sharks, hookers, tv-evangelists, ex-crims or just regular punters cruising the streets on a Saturday night. WALKER could also bash out hit after hit if he wanted to, attested to on just this album with "Cheap Wine", "Ita", "Standing on the Outside", "Choir Girl", "Star Hotel" and so on. Chisel also boasted a second vocalist and guitar virtuoso who could've easily fronted any other group in IAN MOSS, the boy from Alice Springs who could work his way around his guitar better than anyone else in the country. His vocals are on display here with "Never Before", "Best Kept Lies" and "My Baby", yet another hit, this time penned by the inventive and reclusive bass player PHIL SMALL. Apparently, the success of this song lead to Small becoming so self conscious, he never submitted a finished song to the group again. Finally, the band also boasts one of Australia's most accomplished drummers and also, yet again, another great songwriter in STEVEN PRESTWICH. Steve wrote "Best Kept Lies" for this album but really hit his straps on the next LP "Circus Animals" where he penned two magnificent tunes in "When the War is Over" and "Forever Now".
This album, for sheer pop fluidity, is probably Chisel's best and it would rank as one of Australia's ten best ever albums.
If you are new to the band and interested, this is not a bad place to start although you will also certainly enjoy "Chisel" - the greatest hits collection. "East" is a masterpiece, although the other albums aren't far behind and there are plenty more hits than you will find on this CD. Not the least of these of course is the Walker composition Khe Sahn which is laying claims to being our new virtual national anthem.
Chisel are so well known they're like oxygen in Australia. If you are from the US and have never been exposed to their infectious and intelligent blend of rock, blues, reggae and classic Australian lyricism, you're in for a serious treat.

This Is Not The Solution When You Spend Your Dole Money On The Pokies!!!.......2005-12-11

This is yet another album released by the highly overrated Australian band Cold Chisel. In the track "Standing On The Outside" it is suggested to the listener that if they are short of cash then the solution is to rob a TAB (Aussie Betting Outlet) which glorifies a life of crime.It seems that Mr. Don Walker likes writing songs about so called "Beautiful Losers" but I feel there is nothing "Glorious" about drinking Cheap Wine on a beach all day with regrets about what you did yesterday .Perhaps the success that this band enjoyed was partly due to the fact that the listeners could all relate to the losers depicted in Mr. Wanker's songs. Misery just LOVES company!

Australian classic.......2004-12-28

The release of East, their third album, is when Cold Chisel moved from being Australia's best pub band and became a legend. The largely autobiographical or topical nature of many of the songs, especially Standing on the Outside, Star Hotel, Rising Sun, the tongue-in-cheek Ita (on the Australian release), and the sheer depth and variety of material on this album placed Chisel in the top rank in Australia.

That they never received recognition overseas, especially in the USA, was an indictment of the recording industry - a situation which lent itself to the writing of 'You've got nothing I Want' for the Circus Animals album. Still, they were all ours, and they were magnificent.

I played some of East while writing this review and was again reminded why I loved this band then, and why they still excite me now.

I can still remember rushing out to by the LP of East on the day of release, which included a bonus single (included on the remastered CD) for the first few thousand copies. Cold Chisel engendered such devotion. On East you can hear why.

There is something terribly wrong if East is not in your collection.

A great album - now it sounds great, too!.......2000-10-28

Okay, we have seen a lot of "enhanced" CDs in the 90s. Nearly all the classic rock albums have been remastered to get another buck from the fans and sometimes it was even worth it. And this is definetly the case with Cold Chisel's East! The quality of the recording definetly increased and three bonus tracks (outtakes from the recording sessions) have been added to the CD. There is even multimedia material for your computer! Cold Chisel is one of Australia's rock classics and "East" is one of their best recordings. This "enhanced" version is worth every cent!

First-rate Australian rock.......2000-08-13

As I see it, there have been many great Australian bands - Birthday Party, Hoodoo Gurus, Midnight Oil, Laughing Clowns, Saints, and maybe INXS...but Australia is responsible for two classic bands, The Church, and Cold Chisel. Cold Chisel were an Australian phenomenon, they formed in Adelaide in 1973 ('a "karass"' they called themselves), and with one line up change only, became the unit that played blinding soulful blues rock night after night and for years even, unable to afford even decent food. But they were very very good. They had the chemistry that makes a band 'great'. Moreso, they had a genius songwriter, piano/keyboardist Don Walker, a Mathematics graduate who as a lyricist I'd rate only second to Dylan...and what did he write about, the other half, sort of what Springsteen was writing about in the USA. His songs are very much of their time and place and yet remain pertinent and timeless. And the range of styles conveyed by the band and Walker's songwriting delve between brilliant propulsive blues rock'n'roll to sublimely tender - yet hard - jazz blues classics. 'Breakfast at Sweethearts' is the band's second album...not their best as it suffers from a somewhat muted production. But lyrically it's possibly Walker's finest set. The title track is absolutely first-class. Can't really say much more but if you're a fairly serious person at times and are into Springsteen and Dylan then you'll love Cold Chisel. Note that this particular version of the album has three extra tracks which are all brilliant, 'Metho Blues' (piano & guitar only) & the gospel 'It ain't wrong' are again, absolutely first-class compositions. Possibly the best introduction to Cold Chisel is their greatest hits package or 'East', which is their most radio-friendly (and commercially successful) album.

Classic Aussie Rock.......2007-06-19

An original album is usually more desireable than a "best of" compilation, but Cold Chisel has so many hits on so many albums that one needs this One to encapsulate the hits. The CD insert gives some history of Cold Chisel and their many albums. Jimmy Barnes vocals are always a treat! Enjoy the "Assie Anthem" Khe Sanh.

Chisel at their bestest.......2004-04-10

This band is still fresh, focused and had the best grip I have EVER heard on great pop-pub rock in the WORLD. I was fortunate enough to have lived in Sydney in the 1990's, and would have never heard of this great band otherwise (even though it was way past their break up). What AMAZED me is that CHISEL might as well be a Beatles or Doors, just by the fact that how popular they are with the radio and fans TODAY.

Anyhow, this CD really captures them at their radio-best, and will have you singing along in no time. The one to get for a more complete collection can be found on www.whammo.com.au, which is a double CD set that really covers them better than this 'hits' CD. In Aussie, this CD would be called 'Gold Chisel' - which is what got me hooked on to these rock heros in the first place!!!!

For those who have not heard the sounds of Chisel - Jimmy Barnes with a 1 quart of vodka rock scream and Ian Moss with a rock-pop sensibility that most would die for - well, you are just missing out on one of the greatest rock bands EVER. Mind you, I am relatively new to CC, but I fell in love almost too quickly. Yep, they have their rough and bland ends here and there that sound just a bit too 70-80's, but when it comes to crafting a GREAT party rocker or ballad, CC is IT. Bottom line is that these guys just really deserve a listen, as I cannot say they 'sound like' so-and-so. What I can say is that the sounds they make are ones that most folk in the US would probably really like....a lot.

I am proud to be one of the few 'yanks' giving this music a major thumbs up...moved 'back' in 1998, but miss the great land that is Australia.

Chisel Forever.......2002-08-19

In a thousand years from now when ET and his mates finally arrive on planet earth it will be to pick up a copy of a Cold Chisel CD. Cold Chisel are world famous in Australia and New Zealand. This is a true Rock band from the 70s, 80s and the music is timeless, it just gets better an better and manages to stand out from all the nameless trash from todays electronic, techno bands. Do yourself a favour and get some Chisel, you will never regret it.

Under-appreciated beauty.......2005-08-24

This album is a gem...a must for any rock collection. in the early 80s when the American "hair bands" (Journey/REO etc) had degenerated into shlock like "Lovin', touchin' squeezin'" and "High Infidelity" these Aussies were rockin'. This album is a fine mix of balls-out rockers to ballads and every song is great. This is Cold Chisel at their best. The original version of "Bow River" found on this album, which appears in many forms on all live Chisel albums, is the best of all....possibly one of the coolest, catchiest rock songs ever written....a virtual rollercoaster of fantastic vocals and crunchy guitar hooks...great stuff. The bonus tracks are neat but the original more than stands up by itself. Cold Chisel was an honest, straight-forward band with no need for hype or pretense. It is too bad they had such a short life together....more records like this would be very welcome indeed. I could write a lot about this relatively unknown album (at least unknown in the US) but suffice it to say it always satisfies. Buy it and enjoy it, I know you will.

Their Finest Moment.......2004-12-08

This is not as intantly gratifying as "East", as it does not, in my opinion contain as much radio friendly, poppy stuff as that album.

This is a much better album because of the songs that did not make radio play. All the Don Walker stuff such as "Wild Colonial Boy", "Houndog", "Taipan" and "Letter To Alan" make this a great album. Songs that are personal and direct, they are gems that shine in a mine of great material.

The pop is not left completely behind with "Forever Now" and the classic "When The War Is Over" as well as the biting Barnes classic "You Got Nothing I Want" about Elektra records.

Recorded in 1981, but still sounding as fresh now as it ever did it is an Australian classic and these blokes should have been huge overseas if given the right promotion. Unfortunately, they weren't big and didn't get the right promotion from Elektra.
Such a pity as they were truly great

Definitive Oz-Rock.......2001-11-28

You want Oz-Rock at it's finest? Just listen to Bow River. Hear Ian Moss' amazing voice (and he ain't even the lead singer). Hear the band kick in for the second verse. Hear it lift when Jim Barnes joins in for the chorus. Experience the intensity in Mossy's crunching guitar solo and then, when you think it can't scale any new peaks, feel your hairs stand on end when Barnes comes in for the final screaming verse. It all finishes with Moss bringing it back down to earth. I'm always breathless by the end of this song. As for the rest of the disc, all I'll say is there's not a dud song on there, esp Wild Colonial Boy, No Good For You, Hound Dog (love the bridge), and the classic, classic pop of Forever Now. Stunning music.

American's Don't Know What They're Missing.......2001-10-31

I know of only a few people who have even heard of Cold Chisel, but I'd venture to guess that virtually any American fan of classic rock ranging from Steely Dan to Bob Seger to Blue Oyster Cult to Bruce Springsteen would love this Australian band if they ever got a chance to hear them. "Circus Animals", their 4th studio album, shows them moving in a slightly pop direction with great songs like "Forever Now", and "No Good For You". Of course they still rock like crazy on "Bow River", "Wild Colonial Boy", etc. Cold Chisel have got the musical chops, the great guitar leads from Ian Moss, the great singing of Jimmy Barnes, and most important, the great songs of Don Walker, who writes the kind of lyrics that would fit right in on an album by Dylan or Jackson Browne and are so seldom heard on music that rocks this hard. The complete package!

COLD CHISEL AT THE PREMIUM BEST!.......2000-07-02

BY FAR THE BEST ALBUM BY THE BAND.AFTER THEIR HUGE ALBUM EAST WHICH LAUNCHED THEM INTERNATIONALLY AND PROVED TO THE WORLD HOW GOOD THEY WERE AT PRODUCING PUMPING ROCK AND ROLL.CIRCUS ANIMALS WAS A MORE REFINED ALBUM AND CONTAINED SONGS WHICH WERE NOT ONLY CLOSE TO THE BANDS HEART BUT ALSO SONGS WHICH REMAIN POPULAR ALMOST 20 YEARS AFTER ITS RELEASE.

A Great Rock Band.......2004-08-15

It's a shame Cold Chisel never hit in the U.S. They got some airplay of "Khe Sahn" from East and the followup to East, Circus Animals was available here, too, but as far as I know - and I've looked around - that's it. They are a great rock band - charged playing and smart writing in a style of their own.

Amnerican fans may want to know that East and Circus Animals are clearly Cold Chisel's two best albums (I'd put their second, Breakfast at Sweetheart's next), and especially that the version of "Khe Sahn" on the U.S. version of East is not only not on that album in this set but in fact is not here at all. Instead, a very different, faster, less intense version of "Khe Sahn" is on Cold Chisel's first album. Each disc here contains bonus tracks, so it's a mystery to me as to why they did not include the "American" version as a bonus on East.

That said, this is a worthy batch of big ol' '80s style rock, the guitar-driven style of stuff that Springsteen and U2 were doing with at least as much artistic vision and a much tougher attitude. The early in-concert videos included here show why they caused such a commotion in Australia.

Australia's Greatest Ever Band.......2002-04-18

If there is a defining moment in life, mine was when I first heard the hallowing voice of Jimmy Barnes matched by the tight rhythym section of Prestwich, Walker and Small and the haunting guitar playing of Ian Moss. Make no mistake the lyrics, music and blood sweat and tears of their live shows are only matched by 2 of the best albums ever (the Mark Opitz productions of East and Circus Animals). Yet outside these classics came some awesome album tracks which made into even better live music (songs such as Dresden, Star Hotel, Ita, Hound Dog, the heart wrenching Letter to Alan, One Long Day, My Turn to Cry, Flame Trees and Mossys beautiful live "Georgia"). The irony of the brilliance and timeliness of these uniquely Australian songs is that my 3 year old now cranks up the stereo with some Chisel classics, and his dad is the one banished to another room.

Check out the solo stuff as well particularly Ian Moss' classic Match Book and World's Away, my 2 most played CDs..

in all a classic act......BUY this it is a steal, the only thing better is a live Moss or Chisel performance, memorable stuff

I have all of the Chisel CD's that this collection is comprised of, and it cost me a LOT more than what this is going for...if you really like great rock and roll, and are not concerned about whether or not if it is 'in style' - open 1 ear and check it out.
This is a BARGAIN - so if you are inclined, press BUY now!

Jimmy Barnes and friends created one of the best rock groups ever, but the problem is that the rest of the world never got a chance to hear them...now is your chance. Don't question it - CC were Aussies, and the idea of having 'world fame' was rather secondary to just plain old 'local fame' - it just may happen someday - and in the meantime I will be a yank flying the flag of CC in the ole USA (as much as I know that JB hates it - why jimmy? we love ya!)

Australia's pride.......2000-09-09

Cold Chisel is a must listen. Khe Sahn is perhaps the most recognised song after waltzing matilda in Australia and people of all generations know and sing the words. Cold Chisel's music is a form of hard rock. It is fun, thought provoking and great for parties.Each of the songs on this CD are equal in ability and it is an albumn that is enjoyed for it's entirity not one or two songs.

Cold Chisel deliver another fine live recording.......2004-02-19

Having been at one of the most recent Ringside concerts, I consider this CD to be the best souvenir until the Ringside DVD comes along in 2004 sometime. Although the actual concerts ran about 3 hours each night, the best performances from 4 nights in June 2003 have been selected for this 2CD set. Last time Chisel put out a concert 2LP was with the superb "Swingshift" (1981). A very hard act to follow !

The CD set list has enough "new" songs that have not been recorded live before, including the old, the new, and a couple of covers. There is enough here to keep most Chisel fans happy if you couldn't attend the concerts. The songs cover all previous albums with a couple of acoustic songs thrown in for good measure.

I cannot recommend this CD highly enough if you like your rock music loud, honest and with true passion.
