Warrant is a schizophrenic band, a condition illustrated by this 16-song "hits" collection. The Los Angeles-based lineup's 1989 debut, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, featured such metal-lite delights as "32 Pennies," the title track, the insipid, self-referential trademark hit "Down Boys," the sappy power ballad "Heaven," the lascivious "Cherry Pie," and "Sometimes She Cries," all of which appear on this best-of. But by 1992's Dog Eat Dog, Warrant had gone heavier and grungier, befitting the musical climate of the era. Consequently, the quintet lost fans who perceived the group as bandwagon jumpers; actually, they do a decent job with heavier songs such as "Machine Gun" and "Hole in My Wall." Proving that singer Jani Lane and pals could be tender and memorable without being cheesy are the gutsy, bluesy "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the beautiful "I Saw Red." Their cover of Queen's "We Will Rock You," on the other hand, almost manages to sap the song's inherent monster groove. While Warrant's move from image-conscious pop-metal to a heavier sound was awkward in execution, fans of either of the band's phases--and those who like both--will dig this diverse disc. --Katherine Turman

Warrant ROCKS!.......2007-07-16

Upon hearing their beautiful Power Ballad "HEAVEN" on a local radio station, I decided to purchase this CD on Amazon. And guess what, as an 80's metal fanatic, this CD is totally cool! Every track could send shivers to your spine! Warrant proves to be an example of a band that brings life to 80's metal with an exceptional talent on glam and party anthems as well as heart stopping power ballads! This CD is highly recommended for rock n' roll fans!

Hair-Nation.......2006-11-23

The best track on the disc is "uncle toms cabin". Sirius 23, Hair Nation has it rated as their #4 80's metal songs. ROCK ON, Warrant! Other awesome songs include "mr. rainmaker", and the crowd favorites "heaven", "cherry pie" and "sometimes she cries". The whole disc is awesome if you into 80's metal.

Warrant where did they go?.......2006-11-03

This group had a good future ahead of them. I really liked the way they did a ballad like I saw red and also Heaven. Overall this cd was alright but I would have liked to heard more from this group than I have.

Worthy Compilation.......2006-09-19

Some bands have compilations done that are incomplete. Other bands go overboard by including songs that weren't really popular (not to mention being more expensive because of multiple discs).

But "The Best of Warrant" is a good mix of songs (both rock & ballads) and it is not overdone. This band is likely best known for "Cherry Pie" "Heaven" & "D.R.F.S.R" but they are more than just that.

Some other worthy songs on here are the tough-guy anthem "Big Talk" and "Down Boys" which is often overshadowed by previously mentioned hits. I'm also a fan of the likes of "32 Pennies" "Thin Disguise" & "Mr. Rainmaker"

"Sometimes She Cries" is a ballad to be noted and the acoustic version of "I Saw Red" is a nice touch. The remake of "We Will Rock You" is done nicely. They filled in some gaps and made it heavier than the original version by Queen.

The recordings on this CD are what you really want to hear from Warrant. This is a much better option than going out and getting all the Warrant recordings seperately.

Definately the best of Warrent.......2006-07-21

I am new to this band and just bought this cd a week or two ago, and I am totally glad that I got it. It features all of thier classics like cherry pie and heaven. I greatly recommend this cd it is really worth every penney, I've listened to this so much in the past week or so that my little brother is catching on to the words of cherry pie and a few others. And I'm plannig to buy a few more of their cds in the near future. GET THIS CD!!!!!!
