Advantages: It's the best Whitesnake album in 20 years!
Disadvantages: It might be their last!

...was still a very very good album, but sadly nothing since has been worthy of the Whitesnake name. Until now that is.... This album straddles the old and the new(er) versions of the band and picks from the best of both worlds. The current band has something that was missing from the late 80's and 90's band line-ups - and that something is 'soul'. This band has a feel for the blues that previous guitarists including the widdly widdly king Steve Vai, ...
...a couple of very good ballads, in the style that only David Coverdale can do.... and that voice... oh yeah, he may be well in his mid 50's but that voice is still in very fine fettle indeed. Sounding more mature, as it should do, perhaps a wee bit deeper and more resonant than the early years, there must be a good few years left in this beast yet! All I can say is, if you're at all a fan - buy it, you won't be disappointed! The tracks - 1. Best ... Read review

Advantages: Contains a vast diversity of music from David Coverdale's post Deep Purple carrier
Disadvantages: Nothing, unless you hate Whitesnake (and if you did you wouldn't be reading this)

Whitesnakes 30th Anniversary Collection appears to be a glorified greatest hit album. However it's more than this. Its 52 tracks contain live tracks, the original version of Here I Go Again, songs from David Coverdale's (DC's) album with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and of course songs from DC's solo work. The three CD's cover the carrier of DC after he left Deep Purple. The first disc with tracks like Ready An' Willing and Fool For Your Loving (live) ...
...would say the first disc is best of Whitesnakes blues. The second CD contains the Coverdale Page songs as well as more live songs and a collection of Whitesnake hits. The third CD contains the song Best Years from Whitesnakes latest album and We Wish You Well the song Whitesnake wrote for their audiences but have never preformed live. The songs are very original and truly unique. Overall these three discs are excellent and anyone who likes Whitesnake ... Read review

Advantages: Amazing vocals, lyrics and guitar work.
Disadvantages: not that I have found!

...Slide it in. The Greatest Hits album takes tracks from 3 previous albums the afore mentioned Slide it In, 1987, and Slip of the Tongue, as well as remakes from the very early albums such as Saints and Sinners and Lovehunter. You have a mixture of soul shaking power ballads like Is This Love, Cryin' in the Rain and Now you're Gone which gives you the feeling that Coverdale has never been lucky in love! But then tracks like Slide it In, Slow an' Easy, ...
...he was in love, music wasn't the only thing that rocked! When you hear the music and listen to the lyrics, you'll know what I mean! Unlike some of the "metal" bands around now, Whitesnake represent the core of Rock like Led Zeppelin, Rainbow, through to the like of Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, and each song tells a story. This man can do things with his voice that Christina Aguilera, Brtiany Spears and Justin Timberlake could only dream of. Buy it, ... Read review

Advantages: lots of classic favourites
Disadvantages: You may already have the majority of the songs if you collect whitesnake albums

This album is great if you are a fan as it holds many classic whitesnake songs. The main downside is that you may already own most of the songs on the album if you ahave recent albums. A must have cd for collections and also for people who are fans but have missed other albums. Personally I enjoyed the album as I have grown up with this music. It is a popular album when I have friends around and many have bought it themselves. I would definately ... Read review

Advantages: Heavy, Different, One of a kind band.
Disadvantages: Obscene, sexist, BUT SO WHAT!!!

Do you like loud? Do you like nasty? Then crank up these bad boy tunes!! This is some of the best music WASP has to offter its die-hard fans. This is a CD I play over and over. If you are a fan, then you ALREADY own this CD. Before the down side of their crazy lifestyle got to them, and the music turned in a new direction, Blackie and his boys rocked us with this great collection of raw rock and roll. If you are easily offended, stay away, if you ... Read review
