Music reviews of Playlist: The Very Best of Steve Perry
Music Review: Another Greatest Hits Album???
Rating: 2 Stars
Without a doubt, Steve Perry was the best voice rock ever had. His work with Journey was brilliant and his solo stuff was pretty good too.
The guy had an amazing instrument. Effortless singing that was always passionate, soaring, and moving. Not to mention inspiring for other singers like myself in the 80s and today.
Having said that- I find this release strange. Perry only had TWO solo albums "Street Talk" and "For The Love Of Strange Medicine".
Perry's ALREADY had a 'greatest hits album' released. Now, once again, he's releasing another Greatest Hits Album that is largely made up of songs from the SAME two albums and others that were on the first Greatest Hits album. 2 Greatest Hits albums and 2 regular albums... How does that work???
I love this guy's voice, but this seems to really be kind of "milking the catalog for all it's worth".
Maybe this is 'greasing the skids' for the billion 'come back' rumours that we've heard over the years. Let's hope they're true this time, because as a dedicated Perry/Journey fan, I find this release pretty lame and an insult to the fans that've "Patiently" (yeah, there's a joke you've never heard) been waiting for Perry's return since leaving us high and dry with no tour and really no communication with the fans after Trial By Fire was released. I've already bought this stuff once and some of it twice because I DID buy the first greatest hits album because it had unreleased tracks on it.
A better release would've been a live disc from the FTLOSM tour. That would've been AMAZING to hear. This stuff though... I've already bought it and I don't play those anymore, so I probably won't play this either.Another possibility would be releasing the "Against The Wall" album that some of these tracks came from. That album was never released and sits somewhere. But to keep releasing the same songs....
Steve- quit 'waiting'. UN-retire and give us something new.
I'm sure I'll get blasted for this, but I'm a HUGE fan that's tired of hearing the same songs, "toast" excuses, and holding this torch for your return is starting to burn my fingers. Come on man... we're waiting. I would LOVE nothing more than to hear this guy sing again.
By the way, for those that bought this album, the music's great. The other greatest hits album is the superior of the two.
Sorry Perry fans, I'm one of you, but I want something NEW from Steve and don't need to hear Foolish Heart again in my lifetime.
Description of Playlist: The Very Best of Steve Perry
Welcome to the Playlist series. Painstakingly compiled by the artists and the music nuts at Legacy Recordings, these collections truly represent an artists' complete body of work. We've fished through hundreds-thousands-of tracks to cherry pick the perfect playlists. Not just the hits (anyone can find those). The life changing cuts. The out-of-print tracks. The fan favorites everyone loves. The songs that make the artist who they are.You?ll no doubt enjoy the sound of the beautifully remastered songs on this CD (as opposed to MP3's that contain less information, which translate into compromised sound). But we think the thing you'll appreciate most about this Playlist is that even though you didn't make it, you might wish you did.
