Music reviews of Best of Me
Music Review: Great CD But The Best It's Not
Rating: 3 Stars
How is it possible to give Bryan Adams' previous greatest hits package a 5 star perfect review and the follow up a 3 star average review ? Simple,the rocking guy next door who belted out 'Cuts Like A Knife' and 'It's Only Love' is nowhere to be found on this one (except on 'Summer Of '69')
instead,I'm reminded of Michael Bolton and that is not a good thing
Don't get me wrong,Bryan is still an expert at great songwriting but when you put this many ballads on a single CD you're just asking the listener to fall asleep. Not quite sure what the reasoning was here. All the songs on their own are fantastic but packaged together side by side it's just too much of one style.
'The Best Of Me' - ballad
'Can't Stop This Thing We Started' - extremely overplayed but good song
'I'm Ready' - painfully slow ballad
'Summer Of '69' - absolute perfection in songwriting,his best song ever!
'Let's Make A Night To Remember' - ballad but my favorite song on this CD
'All For Love' - (ballad)I would have bet this was Michael Bolton with friends
'Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman - yet another ballad,nice one though
'Run To You' - great rocking song,I love this one
'Cloud Number Nine' - pretty good song
'Everything I do ' - ummm another ballad
'Back To You - a pretty good song
'When You're Gone '- A nice duet with ex spice girl mel c
'Please Forgive Me' and yet another ballad
'The Only Thing That Looks Good On Me Is You - Great rocking tune
'Inside Out' - are you kidding me,end with yet one more ballad
I would recommend buying this if you are a fan or simply enjoy most of these songs and want to listen to them one at a time....but seriously run out and buy 'So Far So Good' that is MUCH MUCH Better...Bryan Adams is great and has a romantic soft side but also has a rocking side that you would just never know from this release
The Upside - packed full of great,well thought out songs,great production and great singing and performances,plus includes some gems that were not included on the previous greatest hits package
The Downside - (snooring) It literally puts me to sleep,never listen to this while driving a vehicle,far too many slow songs on one CD
The Bottom Line - As a huge Bryan Adams fan I had to buy this because I love every song,I just wish he would have either released a double album with more upbeat songs or left off some of these ballads...you should check this out because the songs really are good but definitely buy 'So Far So Good' from Bryan Adams first to really get a taste of what this songwriting genius is capable of....or if you have insomnia and need some helping getting to sleep this is a perfect prescription...donutman says so!!!
Description of Best of Me
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.If Bryan Adams's no-frills, blue-collar image evokes a Canadian take on Springsteen, his voice--and especially his pop sensibility--recalls Rod Stewart during his post-Faces Top 40 years. There's a deceptively effortless sincerity that masks the sometimes mundane themes of the infectious hits (the cheap nostalgia of "Summer of '69" and the various romantic concerns of "Run to You," "The Best of Me," and "Please Forgive Me") gathered on this updated hits collection. (Just five of the tracks appear on his previous So Far, So Good anthology.) It's hardly surprising to learn that Adams began his career as a tunesmith covered by everyone from BTO and Loverboy to Kiss and Bonnie Tyler. That eclecticism bubbles up throughout this modern compilation, from the flamenco flavors of Don Juan De Marco's "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman" to the MTV Unplugged classical-strings-backed rendition of "I'm Ready" and the surprisingly effective electronica of "Cloud Number Nine." This collection chronicles Adams's rise from '80s AOR (album-oriented-rock) contender to '90s MOR (middle-of-the-road) superstar, thanks to his Grammy- and Oscar-winning hit "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" from Robin Hood and harmonizing with Sting and Stewart on Three Musketeers' "All for Love." --Jerry McCulley
