HIStory's 2 CDs (one hits, the other new) were Jackson's attempt to connect his glorious past to a dodgy present and--given it's commercial and artistic performance--cast a shadow on his future. Conceived as his formal coronation as the "King of Pop," HIStory's second disc instead presents Jackson as an epauletted, single-gloved Richard III. By turns paranoid, angry, bitter, sentimental, and, in one instance, possibly anti-Semitic, HIStory was less a collection of songs than a case history. A few tracks--mostly those produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis--are sleek, modern pop/soul, but too much of HIStory has the overblown vacuousness of a musician who knows his time is past, but is unsure as to how to react to the situation. --Steven Mirkin

Love The Oldes.......2007-06-29

MJ the old school is stall the best. Disc 2 is on the scale of 1 so i could not give it a five star rateing. Swordsman II Sony PSOne Console

Michael Jackson Lovers.......2007-06-27

If you're into M.K's latest and greates tunes, you will love this CD!! I listen to it a lot more then most of my cd that are collecting dust.

Not bad but...........2007-02-20

How many times people have to pay for Michael Jackson greatest hits album? Come on this should have been a single disc album. I already bought all of his old albums! Anyway I review the new songs there.
I liked They Don't Care About Us, Stranger In Moscow, Earth Song, You Are Not Alone, Come Together, and Little Susie. They are all excellent tracks and I enjoyed them greatly. Scream, This Time Around, History, 2 Bad, and Smile are all average songs acceptable as filler
D.S., Money, Childhood , and Tabloid Junkie are very much junk.
Please Michael we all know you need privacy and tabloids are not treating you right and you had a "bad" childhood. I am sick and tired of hearing these type of songs over and over which are similar to old ones. So please stop nagging and make unique music

Definitely Makes History.......2007-01-16

The title of the album is very appropriate. With the first CD giving us a blast from the past of amazing songs, and the second disk pulling us into the future. Many people have complained about the second disk, but I find that the songs on it are quite brilliant. The first song, Scream, is one of the most original songs of the nineties. It has a sound you won't find anywhere else, and the brother/sister duo mix their vocals extremely well. The second track, They Dont Really Care About Us, is so passionate and stimulating. You almost can't help turning up the volume. Stranger in Moscow is one of the most beautiful songs MJ's written, and its production is top notch. Earth Song is THE most beautiful song he's done, and it has a feel that gives you goosebumps. Overall, the album is one of the best I've heard. Some people critisize it for being too angry, but the anger gives the songs a passion and a depth that other artists lack. Its definitely worth the money for this deep and interesting work of art.

HIStory Is Great.......2006-12-27

The media has attacked this album since day one! Why? Well, the reason is that this album is viciously attacking the media! After they tried to destroy Mr. Jackson with the FAL$E 1993 Allegations. This is Michael's most heart-felt album & definitely one of my favorites. The album still sold 18 Million Copies (36 Million Disks) worldwide.

This album mixes anger for injustice, racial equality, saving the planet and love. It is a truly wonderful album & Mike expands his musical abilities by producing the whole album and playing most of the instruments on the album.

Pure magic!.......2007-05-11

There are several Michael Jackson compilations out there from Sony, but this is the one you need to have. 15 of the greatest tracks Michael has written and/or recorded here at your disposal. It truly is the perfect retrospective of Michael's four main Sony albums. Sure, there are important tracks missing, such as "Say Say Say," "Off The Wall," and "Dirty Diana," but the drive and power of the ones that are there more than make up for any omissions. I'd recommend this album to anyone who is just starting to like Michael's music; it's the perfect way to "get your feet wet" in the massive ocean that is his music catalogue.

Michael Jackson Rocks!.......2006-12-26

This is Jumaane, not Monet. Anyway, this album was so great that I lost it and I'm bout to buy it again. I like EVERY song except one (black or white) Every other song is my favorite. Don't let Michael's reputation overshadow his music! This is one amazing singer. Who else can sell 51 million copies to date on one album! Most people don't sell that many in a career. Even though I'm only 14, I'm tired of cheap music too. I'm an old head! Buy this album along with Teena Marie and you'll have all the music you'll need!

Teena Marie and Michael Jackson rock!

Great.......2006-11-10

This has to be the best Album ever made by Michael Jackson

Micheal Jackson.......2006-07-17

My son who just turned 4 is a huge fan and he loves everything about Micheal Jacksons music

This is the One!.......2006-03-29

This CD has some of Michael Jackson's biggest and best hits such as Billie Jean, Bad, Thriller, and his most popular Beat It. As unusual as when I usually get CDs, almost all of the songs on this CD are my favorite. Mostly when you get a CD, you only have 1 or 2 favorites and a lot of songs your stuck with that you don't want. This album is not like that. But the only ones I don't like or care for are She's Out Of My Life, I Just Can't Stop Loving You, Man In The Mirror, The Girl Is Mine, Wanna Be Startin' Somethin', and Heal The World. I heard about Michael Jackson a long time ago then in 2002, I listened to one of the song samples here on Amazon which was Billie Jean. I liked it, so I got this CD and liked most of the songs on this Album. It's too bad he got arrested and I think he's innocent. I know a few guys that don't like Michael Jackson but I don't know how they cannot like him. Michael Jackson is one of the greatest Pop singers of all time and he will always be. I love you Michael!

Stunning album that was seriously underrated. .......2007-05-24

A cracking album that shot straight to No 1 in the UK and bursts with Michael's anger and vitriol. His voice is just amazing. Check out Ghosts/Is it Scary, This Time Around and the remixed Scream and see what I mean. Powerful stuff that's also incredibly energising. While I was formerly not a big fan of dance music the reworked tracks are treated in such a brilliant way that I am coverted.Pulsating. Recommended.

Cream always flows to the top !.......2006-08-12

The greatest individual star of all times, if not at last of the last 3 decades, and a other and an other 3 to come, he is just as big as the Beatles if not bigger as he has to do it on his own.
I, along with the court of justice do believe Micheal does not have a bad bone in his body, the fact that he needs kids around him is perfectly natural, because kids are sincere, this is wat he Michael and eveyone else needs to stay in touch with reality.

Thanks Michael for all the happy memories your music has brought us and hopefully will for a long time to come.

Who's Bad ?
Not Michael !

Michael Jackson's Dance on The Blooded Floor: 2 stars.......2006-07-18

As Michael Jackson ventured on the second leg of the HIStory World Tour in 1997, the EP Blood On The Dancefloor was released perhaps in order to capitalize on Jackson's success in Europe. His HIStory album had experienced enormous success in Europe, yet America did not embrace the album as warmly as Europe had. Jackson's popularity in Europe was cemented as the first single Blood On The Dancefloor reached no. 1 on the English single chart, while the album enjoyed success in both England and the rest of Europe.

Blood On The Dancefloor is mainly to be regarded as an EP or a remix album, consisting of 5 ordinary songs and 8 remixes. The title track and the first single Blood On The Dancefloor is a funky up-tempo song with a fusion of keyboard and teasing synthesizers. Despite being released as the opening single, the song was hardly among Jackson's finest material. In fact, Blood On The Dancefloor even sounded dated in 1997 and it has certainly not aged very well. I always found that the song bore a resemblance to the Dangerous album in terms of sound. Perhaps the material on the Blood on the Dancefloor album was written for that particular album or during the same time period. However, the gruelling theme continues as the song Morphine reveals a character completely obsessed with the drug. The soft and hunting verses are a contrast to the sturdier choruses, yet surprisingly it works quite well. Superfly Sister is Michael Jackson's attempt to simulate Prince; however the repetitive, dull baseline is an unwelcome addition. Similar to the lead single, Superfly Sister suffers from the syndrome of ¨dated-ness¨. Ghosts and Is It Scary are enjoyable songs; however they are not among Jackson's greatest works. Notably, Is It Scary is a lovely track especially due to the shift between the soft verses and the tougher choruses. I considered it the best song among the 5 ordinary songs on the album. The remaining 8 songs/remixes are a Tour De Force of dance remixes. Generally, I do not like remixes, however the remix of 2 Bad, Scream-Louder and HIStory are not half-bad. Yet the remixes of the remaining songs leave a lot to be desired.

Blood On The Dancefloor is primarily an indulgence for hardcore Michael Jackson fans. The few ordinary songs are pleasant, however they are not on par with Michael Jackson's back-catalogue. If you like remixes in generally, I am positive the remixes on the album would surely appeal to you. If you have recently discovered Michael Jackson's music, I would advise you to purchase Number Ones or The Essential Michael Jackson in order to fully grasp the back-catalogue of Jackson.

Overall Grade: 4.0/10

RED BLOODED MONSTER--JACKO.......2006-07-16

I LIKE JACKSON SINCE THE DAYS OF THRILLER.AT THAT TIME I WAS A KID AND USED TO JUMP OFF MY FEET WHENEVER I GOT CHANCE TO LISTEN TO HIM.

THIS ALBUM DO NOT HAVE QUANTITY BUT THE THING IS THAT THIS HAS QUALITY ONLY ONE SINGLE--BOTDF IS SUFFICIENT TO MAKE THIS ALBUM WORTH A WHILE
GO GET THIS ALBUM AND BE PROUD TO HAVE SUCH COMPILATIONS

great!! .......2005-12-12

Blood on the dance floor is mainly a remix album of Michael Jackson's HIStory songs.
Well, the thing is that I don't like remixes but there is one that's definitely good. That's the remix of track 'HIStory'.
Now on to the new stuff. MJ really did well by choosing 5 new tracks because it convinced me that his every song is different and innovative.
BOTDF, as fans often call it, has the
title track on it: this is an echo-filled, strong, blood-red composition of dance with a bit of techno, soul and rock. This is unique if you believe me.
I enjoyed it through a whole summer when I watched
the video for it every day!
MJ proves that he is a good and.. an even better dancer. A real surprise. Even a friend of mine who is far from being an MJ-fan, told me that he finds MJ a better dancer than he'd done before.

SUPERFLY SISTER is a rap-like but still strangely soulful track with a catchy beat and a great 'east coast' feeling I like very much. It's got a message, listen up!

GHOSTS is a great r&b song that is solid, consistent and you can easily get hooked on the melody. The video is awesome, too. I bet!

IS IT SCARY: brother of the previous one. Jackson's best vocal achievement since 1995's 'Smile' and before 2001's 'Unbreakable'. An r&b-based song that grows to a pop hymn - without a hymnical feature.

MORPHINE: This is I think MJ's most unique song ever, quite the 'Musicology' for him. This is fully composed & ordered by him, he even plays the instruments.
The song mixes an acid and steely beat with innovative vocal elements of metal and even a Jackson-style rap. So a closed composition emerges.
I hated Morphine first. But now I see it as a kind of masterpiece.

OK. Don't buy it. It's mess.
But I bet you still do. Enjoy!

Revamped and reissued.......2002-04-08

Collectables Records has reworked their "History of Rock" compilation series, supposedly using remastered sources. The track listing remains the same, however the packaging is new. There can be some confusion about titles in this series as Collectables changes the packaging for specific radio station markets in addition to selling their generic version of the title. The reworked version of this volume sports a red border with most of the front image being a picture of a 50s-era teenager playing 45s in front of a group of dancers, probably, one of whom sports a pair of argyle socks not to be believed. (Note: it is unclear as to whether you receive this new version if ordered from Amazon.com as their product description still displays the old packaging. It may be advisable to inquire until and unless Amazon updates the image.) Collectables has had a less than enviable record when it comes to production quality in their reissues. Here, they have done a better job than has often been the case in the past. Additionally, they indicate on the outside of the back of the package which tracks are presented in stereo, a helpful bit of information provided it is accurate but sorry to say it is not totally so on this volume. I purchased this volume to a large degree for what is indicated on the package as a stereo version of Dion and the Belmonts' "Where or When", a tune I once found in true stereo on a poor-quality one-off disc years ago but have never seen again on any high-quality Dion CD. My disappointment was substantial when I discovered that this track is in mono and the previous track, "Love Makes The World Go Round" is in stereo but not indicated as such on the package. True, a minor slip-up, but still frustrating and the reason for a three-star rating in my book. While this is a mainstream series and there are no rarities or first-timers to CD in amongst the tracks appearing here, at least there are a couple that are not the same old ones usually found compiled for major hit collections. This volume sports the essentially one-hit wonder Troy Shondells' "This Time", along with Frank Ifield's "I Remember You" with the added bonus of it being the stereo (albeit somewhat awkward 2-channel) version, a first time on CD to my knowledge. Overall, the sound quality here is respectable, with a plus being the appearance of the very rare stereo version of the Paradons' "Diamonds and Pearls" and the aforementioned "I Remember You". On the down side, "Liar Liar" is pretty hissy and there are, unfortunately, dropouts in the stereo track of "Diamonds and Pearls". One other, to this listener, uncomfortable thing here is the sequence at the end of the disc with the frenetic "Liar Liar" being followed by the soothing and melodic "Stranger On The Shore", a track that would have segued better around "Where Or When" or "I Remember You". The liner notes booklet provides a few comments on the included tracks but has no other track details or production credits. For the casual listener interested in the tracks presented, this is a somewhat better than average effort and for the collector, it does offer a that one rarely found stereo version. If only the labeling about the stereo had been correct...

It was Rock & Roll before it was called Rock & Roll.......2004-08-21

WOW....where to begin!!!!! This four CD collection is a must have for anyone who likes their music loud and pounding fast. You cannot get a better deal on both the quality and quantity that this set provides.

I won't review all of the song selections, because there are a ton, but I will say that every song in this set is worth every penny.

At the time of these recordings (1942-1952) this music was commonly called "Jump Blues". It was the forerunner to Rock and Roll. Unlike early R & R music that highlighted white musicians and the guitar, Jump Blues highlighted black musicians and the saxophone (mostly tenor). This was not commonly played in mainstream America, although many of the musicians such as, Illinois Jacquet, were getting some notoriety on the jazz scene.

This was perceived as "devil's" music and white radio, for the most part, wouldn't touch it. Remember, this is almost 15 years before Bill Haley, Alan Freed or Elvis Presley. However, many white musicians would later record these songs and make a commercial success out of them.

I would recommend this box set to young and old alike. Along with the fantastic selection of songs, it comes with an outstanding booklet talking about the music and the artists. This music stills packs the same punch it did over 50 years ago. Take a listen!!!!!

Better Than #1 - This is the One to Start Your Set With.......2006-06-27

"Funk" is when r&b essentially splintered into three camps in the late 1960's ... pop r&b (most Motown), soul (the Philly Sound plus others) and funk (James Brown, Stax, Southern musicians, etc ... eventually all over). Obviously I'm generalizing here as most great musicians could easily traverse from soul to funk and pop - sometimes in some song :-)

But this collection is obviously meant to give you a basic over-view of the best of FUNK ... and it mostly succeds. like many of Rhino's best packages - if you have 2,000 CD's, you probably already have all the tracks and more importantly, all the ones they could not license and keep the costs reasonable ... so you will still need some James Brown, some Tower of Power, and dozens more (I mean, who can live with a library of only 2 Earth, Wind & Fire songs?)... though you will have all the WILD CHERRY you will need ... is there a compilation of the 1970's that PLAY THAT FUNKY MUSIC is not on?

For beginners of casuals fans of Funk, this is a nice beginning but that's all it is ... I'm not sure any set can be comprehensive ... well, any set less than 20 volumes and need to include Motown, Atlantic, Philly, Stax, and a couple dozen other labels ...

You can't go wrong with any in the series as there are at least several MUST HAVE gems on each one but strangely, Volume 1 is the weakest of the set. You can actually pick up that one last if just can't do without it or better yet, skip it and pick up the 20 CD's you really need from James Brown, Sly & Family Stone, Parliment and of course later, Prince.

The sound quality is excellent - great job on remastering so these will replace a lot of weaker digital transfers.

Vol 2 proves to be a better sequel.......2005-03-26

If you were piqued by the first volume of this series, you'd overdose on the better selection of music here. If you are a serious funk/ol skool maven, you'd be more likely to say "Thats better." This CD has more of the type of funk that is enjoyable and less filler.
There is some there to be sure. I have nothing at all against Tina Turner, but Ike is someone I could do without. The liner notes in the series is what makes this series good. I'd be willing to bet you'd find some nuggets of info that you didn't know (Check the reason behind Average White Band's name) This is clearly better than its predecssor and one to obtain if possible

Funked Up!.......1998-11-13

This series of CDs are great. A friend of mine picked one up in the shop and we all laughed at him -- until he put it on. Now every one of my friends owns the whole set. Yeah, its a bit of a history lesson but more importantly, the songs are so damn funky and fun! My favourites are Vol. 2 and 4 but they're all funky!

Customer Reviews:

Something of a Revelation..........2007-02-24

Brian Auger was never quite a headline act in the United States, but he should have been. This two-disc encapsulation of Auger's career is a good place to start, if you missed out on Auger in the 60's and 70's.

DISC ONE begins with some very listenable Brit-jazz, with a very young Auger leading groups on piano. Sounding very influenced by the Blue Note stable of pianists, Auger turns in some very pleasant (though hardly world-shaking) stuff. Midway through the selections, the focus shifts to Auger's B-3 Hammond work, which is where Auger started to turn heads, and really established himself. Of these tunes, the standout is a great arrangement of Art Blakey's "Moanin".

With the addition of British singer Julie Driscoll, Auger's late Sixties band ("The Trinity") steered into lively (if a bit arch) funk music. Driscoll was a powerful, singer with a theatrical presence, but it isn't too hard to conjure images of white girls with frizzy Afros gyrating the boogaloo, here. These tracks are really quite good, but you may have to stifle a laugh or two while listening.

With his album "Streetnoise", Auger finally immersed himself in Rock. "Season of the Witch" is probably the best version extant of that Donovan tune, and "Tropic of Capricorn" is as close as Auger ever got to sounding like Keith Emerson and the Nice.

So, the stage is then set for DISC TWO, where Auger again reverses course, and starts laying down some seriously funky fusion music. This is where he really excelled, and why the "Acid Jazz" people still like him today. "Listen Here" is a ten minute piledriver of a vamp. Over a Spencer Davis style, pounding bass line, Auger trades solos with Gary Boyle, who had joined the group on guitar, and who delivers some very exciting, Jeff Beck-style licks. It's too bad that this is about the only track that Boyle is featured on, because he provides more fireworks than his successors. (Boyle went on to play with Keith Tippett, an avant garde pianist who married Julie Driscoll.)

"Freedom Jazz Dance", with Jim Mullen picking up the guitar chores, also has a great groove. Alex Ligertwood had come on board as vocalist by this time, and he sounds A LOT like Steve Winwood. "Happiness is Just Around the Bend" is as close as Auger ever got to a hit record, and features Auger on electric piano. With Auger on this instrument, his band was very similar to Jeff Beck's second group--the one featuring Max Middleton. (Not surprisingly, Beck's bass player, Clive Chaman, turns up on Auger's "Beginning Again", another track that got heavy FM radio play in the 70's.

This was/is exciting music that should have broken Auger worldwide. But, it wasn't to be. Brian Auger always seemed a hair's breath away from cracking the big time. He left behind some of the tastiest funk and fusion music of the period. It makes one wish for what could have been--if only Jeff Beck and Brian Auger had gotten together, it would have been a magnificent pairing.

"Auger-Rhythms" is an artifact which conclusively establishes that Auger was one of the top two or three rock keyboardists of all time, who never played badly, and should have been accorded far more recognition than he got.

Hey, You There. . . .LISTEN HERE!.......2004-11-08

It seems that there are some things that the majority of people do not like. For instance, the taste of brussels sprouts and fruitcake; or the smell of brand new carpeting; or the low-hanging grey of overcast skies; the cracking of knuckles; the telling of puns; the comedy of Jackie Mason; and the sound of the organ. But all of these are on my "thumb's up" list. If you side with me.....on the sound of the organ, that is.....then this is a "must own" 2-disc set!

This is an excellent 28 song career retrospective of the vastly underrated keyboardist, Brian Auger. The variety of styles employed in his creative, genre-bending recorded output, which encompasses parts of 5 decades, are well represented on AUGER RHYTHMS. If the name Brian Auger doesn't mean anything to you, then sadly, you've missed out on some really exciting music. You can correct that oversight right now. LISTEN HERE. . .

The first 5 tracks on disc 1 give us Brian's early, straightforward jazz excursions with his piano as the lead instrument. These 5 pieces are performed by obviously accomplished musicians, and all are highly enjoyable if somewhat derivative. It's technically impressive, and it swings nicely, but it's not particularly original. This is the early phase of a gifted musician who had not yet discovered the unique, artistic "voice" dwelling in his innermost regions.

It is with track #6, MOANIN', the Bobby Timmons composition, made into a certifiable Jazz classic by the great Art Blakey, that Brian first plugs in his Hammond B-3 organ, and LOOK OUT! Now the sparks are flying all over the place while the scent of burnt ebony, ivory, and ozone goes wafting through the room. This is the incendiary playing that we've come here for. Not only does MOANIN' cook, but AUGER actually cuts BLAKEY on his own signature tune, and I assure you, that ain't some small feat! We get more B-3 flamethrowing on the next couple of tracks. Beginning with I'VE GOTTA GO NOW, the set moves into Auger's stuff with vocals by Julie Driscoll. I don't find it offensive, but it's not my scene; maybe it's yours. Think in terms of the era that gave us Cream, early Doors, Go-Go Dancers and LSD.

Disc 1 closes with a couple of gems : I know this may seem blasphemous to some of you, but I'm not real big on The Beatles. Auger's instrumental take on A DAY IN THE LIFE is a majestic and sweeping epic of fire and crescendo; the arrangement is nothing short of magnificent! The Beatles never sounded so grand or so musical. TROPIC OF CAPRICORN is another winner.

Disc 2 opens with LISTEN HERE, the pinnacle of the collection; the supreme staging ground for Auger's mystifying fingers. The legendary funk drummer from Cork, Ireland, Yoey O'Dogherty, once famously quipped that, "If the hips ain't movin' the tune ain't groovin'!" Well, babe, LISTEN HERE is seriously groovin'! It employs 4 drummers and 2 bassists - yeah, you might say it's got some "bottom" to it. It's a raging 9 minute rhythm monster; a JAM thicker than PEANUT BUTTER! Don't forget to board up the windows, batten down the hatches, anchor the roof with steel cable, and make sure the kids are safe before you crank up this bad boy! And be sure to remove all nearby flammables, because this sucker is on the verge of igniting! It's an outrageous electric guitar, keyboard and drum workout. Honestly, music just DOES NOT get more exciting than this, and I would have gladly paid the full price for this collection even if LISTEN HERE was the only worthwhile cut on it - it's THAT good!

Most of the remaining tunes are taken from Auger's 'OBLIVION EXPRESS' days of Jazz/Rock/Funk fusion. Very 1970s - but in a good way. . . .if you can overlook some of Alex Ligertwood's strained and emotionally-overwrought vocals on a couple of numbers. The last 3 songs feature Auger with his son and two daughters on contemporary recordings. They're OK.

The only disappointments are in the enclosed booklet which contains numerous errors in the commentary and credit listings, making it of limited value. And more importantly : Auger's most in demand tune (which initiated my interest in Jazz in 1978) was the funky Wes Montgomery compostition, 'BUMPIN' ON SUNSET'. This became Auger's signature tune. Playing it live, the band took it at a quicker pace which enhanced the catchy, soulful groove, making it more pronounced. Thus, my favorite version of 'BUMPIN' ON SUNSET' appears on the now unavailable, 'LIVE OBLIVION' album. The version included on AUGER RHYTHMS is neither the live cut, nor the original studio recording, but a previously unreleased take which is too slow and very inferior to both of the others.

I rarely award 5 Stars to anything, but if AUGER RHYTHMS had used the live 'BUMPIN' ON SUNSET', I wouldn't have hesitated for a moment to bestow 5 Stars on it. But it's still a great collection as is, and I dare say that if you can't find much to enjoy on this, then you need to have the authorities release an All-Points-Bulletin because somebody has absconded with your musical "soul." Hey, you there. . .are you LISTENing HERE?

Here is the Godfather of the B3 Hammond Organ!!!.......2004-09-30

The compilation gives you a dose of his bands from his past and his new oblivion express (One of the greatest live shows that you could ever see), also comes w/a 32 page booklet of liner notes. Brian is a living legend and if you are lucky enough to catch their show you will know exactly what I mean. Songs like 'light my fire' by the doors, sung by Julie Driscoll and 'indian ropeman'are some of the highlights of the cd.

Brian Auger's Incredible!.......2004-01-24

Not many people are as hip as they should be to this monster of the Hammond B3! This is as complete a history of Brian's career that has ever been assembled with a 32 page booklet with great photos from Brian's personal collection. What's most surprising are some never before released sides by Auger in early swingin' London jazz venues. This guy is truly gifted and it shows!
If you dig the B3 scene it doesn't get much better than this.
Highly recommened!

Off the Chain.......2005-08-07

This cd is awesome. I love the diversity in their music and their ability to rhyme and sing and throw in some poetry. They remind me of THe Fugess or Black Eyed Peas.

A great buy.......2005-01-25

After hearing the song "All around the world" on a sampler CD i asked for a CD by souljahz (i mistakinaly thought it was pronouced like soul-jazz, when it's really like souldiers) for christmas, and was glad i did, i could go one praising them, but doing so would just be reptetive of the other reviews out there, which you can read, and i completely agree with. there is only 1 reason i give this 4 stars and not 5. I am not minority of any kind, and because of that i can't really know discrimination, a theme this album touches on repeatedly. This feels kinda...awkward. like i don't deserve to be listening to this, i haven't gone through what they have, and hence i almost feel like an outsider listening to some of these songs. I'm still glad i got the CD, and would reocmend whoever reads this to buy it, i just want to give a heads up. Still, go out and buy it.

Just Awesome!.......2005-01-13

I can remember reading about them from a BMG music order sheet. You know how they suggest other groups that sound like a more popular group. I remember saying to myself how I would like to hear them. Well last summer I was at a garage sell and behold there they were, still in wrapper. I purchased it and immediately unwrapped and slid it into the CD player. WOW! Just Awesome! I jammed to that all day long, and it is now one of my favorite CDs. The lyrics are so on, and their conviction rings through clearly, not to mention their incredible vocals. No doubt in my mind that the next CD would not be a find on my part but deliberate act.

Incredible.......2005-01-11

What an amazing CD. Every single time I hear "Worship," my soul is stirred. There's so much Spirit in this CD, so much Truth, so much unabashed and unashamed praise that I doubt it will ever be dislodged from my "Favorite Albums" list.

Unbelievable!.......2004-08-05

This is by far the best CD I have in my collection right now. BUY THIS CD! The songs will uplift you, inspire you, convict you, and get your mind right. Listening to their positive message delivered with great beats and voices has left me addicted. I can't wait for their new CD.

oh yes the funk lives on here a nice collection of songs sampled to death by rappers has I like the girls by fatback, shake by the gap band, and disco to go by the lovely brides of funkenstein other jams include flashlight, and more bounce to the ounce by zapp a must buy if you are feeling the funk.

How to tell if your funk compilation's a winner...........2001-04-20

....you can tell if there is more than one rare, rare jam on it. Is evvyone liscenced to put "More Bounce To the Ounce" and "Atomic Dog" on their funk/old school compilation?

This has the ultro-rare jam "Insurance Main For the Funk" from p-Funkmiester Bernie Worrell's "All the Woo in The World" and two seldom played Sly & the Family Stone hits "Loose Booty" and the voice-boxed "Same Thing (Makes you Laugh)" and the Bride of Funkensteins' "Disco to Go"....Hey! Where did that "More Bounce.." come from?

Excellent.......1999-01-18

This series of CDs is amazing. A must have for anyone interested in the genre or in rap music (you can here all the songs that have been sampled dozens of times over). Vol. 5 is not the best, but the best for dancing (because of its disco bent). Check out any volume, they're all great. I think 2,4,and 5 are the best.

This cd is one you definately have to have in your hard house collection. The title "history of hard house" suites this cd very well. the first disc is a non stop continuous mix of past hits.

This is definatley hardhouse at it's best. If you like hard house music you'll love it. If you don't, then you won't. Simple as that. The first 20 minutes of the first disc kinda drags on but it picks up afterwards. The second one is flawless. I would definatley reccommend this JUST FOR THE ALPHA TEAM TRACK!!!!!! LOVE IT! Go speed racer go!

No Hard House Collection Should Be Without!.......2003-10-17

Hard house i probably my fav type of music and this cd certainly doesn't disapoint. In fact, I would rank it up there as one of my favourites. A must have!!

this cd will trip you out!!!.......2003-05-28

this cd kicks so much...it's not funny. You'll notice on the back of the cd that there are so many tracks on this double cd mixed album. Darren R, the ghostly dj behind the whole thing makes so many cleaver and charismatic mixes, you can't help but get into the hard house tempo and loud, asswhooping style. The formula is simple. A bass snare loop, a sinthetic alarm like rythem, and a hype sample banging your brains out. Get this cd and you'll be down with the hard house sound

Didn't Like It.......2003-04-01

The title "history of..." gave me the impression that the tracks would be ol' school but they weren't.

Unfortunately, for me I didn't notice the explicit lyrics warning before I purchased it so imagine my surprise when track 24 played.

I wish I had gotten more information on this before I bought it.
