Advantages: Superb great Mix Of this Talented Bands hits Disadvantages: None Whatsoever!
...A superb mix of greatest hits and brilliant tracks.
This is one of my favourite albums of all time i cannot fault it.!
Amazing guitars match with a superb splattering of fellow Scot , Sharleen Spiteri's terrific vocals.
What a excellent version of Al Greens " Tired of being alone"
I love all the tracks they are all terrific so many to choose from its an album to listen to all day and every day.
Usually most " greatest hits" albums are sort of bundled together like a fast food but no not this one, it has all the hits blended together like a ultra smooth honey pot, each track smoother tasting , good or better than the last one.
This band will blow you away and have you coming back for more !
They will still be making hit songs long after the so called " Pop stars" of today have faded into oblivion..
Cannot recommend this album...

Advantages: An Absolutely Perfect Alternative to Rock Music Album Disadvantages: none other than those who just don't like that genre of music
...The long-awaited album from Matchbox 20 lives up to its expectations. Like their first record "Yourself or Someone Like You", it is almost impossible to choose a favorite song. In fact, I cannot! Each song is special in its own right and has something to offer. I have played Mad Season in its entirety so many times that I know every song by heart. Rob Thomas, the lead singer of Matchbox 20, penned all of the songs; he is,without question, one of today's most talented songwriters.

It is no wonder that the first single from Mad Season, "Bent", shot up to number one on the charts. You can bet that there are more hits to follow. I recommend this album to anyone who...

Advantages: Great photos Disadvantages: Everything else !
...Barbara Windsor has been an idol of mine since childhood. I loved her in the Carry On films & now in EastEnders as Peggy Butcher, but this album is probably the worst one in my collection. I know she is trained as a singer & has a history in theatre work & musicals, it is not her talent that is so much in question, but this album is just awful - sentimental rubbish. Some of the songs are wonderful (As Long As He Needs Me, What The World Needs Now Is Love), but her version of them just doesn't do justice to the songs. What is worse are the duets, when she sings with Joe Longthorne & fellow EastEnders stars, Mike Reid & Steve McFadden, who should definitely stick to acting !! The only good part about this album is the lovely photographs on the cover & inside, but only buy it if you are a huge fan with no musical taste !...
