Music reviews of H2O [Extra Tracks] [ORIGINAL RECORDING REMASTERED]

Music Review: One Of Their Best Albums
Rating: 4 Stars

I originally bought this album on the original 16 bit cd years ago just for the track "Family Man" cuz at the time it wasn't availble on any H&O G/H album & also becuz it is my all time fav H&O track. I also really enjoyed the timeless "One on One" which is one of the best ballads ever and "Maneater" which has one of the most unforgettable bass lines in music history. So I was pretty happy just getting those 3 great tracks. But after the first listen, I quickly realized that there were several more hidden gems to be found here. One of them - "Crime Pays" which probably could've been a hit single, has a terrific robotic sound to it & it fully utilizes the drum machine & synthesizer giving it an extremely catchy dance beat. Definitely a product of it's time but that's what makes it so great. Another track that could've been a single is "Guessing Games". It's light & bouncy & one of those songs that you'll find yourself humming later on. Other great tracks here are the playful "Italian girls" which was sung by John Oates and Daryl Hall's soulful vocals really shine on "Delayed Reaction". Daryl also sings the very catchy & melancholy mid-tempo number "Go Solo" which is also a highlight on the album. The rest of the album isn't quite as memorable as the aforementioned tracks but it isn't bad either. If you're a big fan of these guys, you owe it to yourself to check out H2O cuz there really is not one bad track to be found here. Definitely one of their very best albums.

As far as the re-mastering goes, it is exceptional & has breathed a whole new life into this album. Unlike some cd's where the sound is basically just louder but sounds exactly like the older version, you can tell that these H&O re-masters are much improved. There is much more bass, more clarity on the higher end & they also have a much fuller sound as well. So if your an older fan like me & are hesitant to buy this album twice (Like I did), I highly recommend that you take the plunge cuz I promise you, you won't regret it. It sounds fantastic.
