Free Music Notes for The Best Of Chicago 40th Anniversary
Free Music Review: Not everything I'd hoped for... but it'll suffice.
Hit: 4 Stars
Love the music... but I was a bit disappointed that some of the songs (most notably "25 or 6 to 4" and "Beginnings") were abridged -- or, more accurately -- hacked to death. But what should I have expected for $9.99?Free Music Review: WOW
Hit: 4 Stars
This is one super cd. Better than I was hopping for and brings back all those old great songs of my teens.
Thanks for quick shipping and a perfect product!

Hit: 3 Stars
This year has marked some majoe milestones for some of the best rock groups of all time. The Police, who've celebrated their 30th Anniversary with a reunion tour and a new hits album, proved that they can show that even with all the time away, Sting & The Boys rocked on. Genesis, who've celebrated their 40th Anniversary, have still proven after all this time, they sound even better than ever, and reissued their catalog in a much better sound than before. That could possibly be said for Chicago, who've also celebrated their 40th Anniversary as a unique blend of horns, Rock N' Soul. Yet, they were overlooked in the radar, and their music hasn't had the recognition it once showed on radio, and that also could be said for their anniversary record.
The Best Of Chicago 40th Anniversary, the bands 2007 album, showcases 30 tracks from the groups five decades of making history. The songs have been remastered well, but the feeling for the record just doesn't measure as a double album, unlike their 2002 hits package Only the Beginning. The album is more like a reintroduction to new fans of a younger generation, rather than something die hard longtime fans could rock out to. The album though includes a lot of great tracks that've still proven to be standards like Does Anybody Know What Time It Is?, Saturday In the Park, the somber Colour My World, all the way to their recent tracks from the overlooked 2006 album Chicago XXX on lesser-driven songs like Feel and Love Will Come Back. Unfortunately, the album does overshadow a lot of great hit songs like the driven Street Player, Along Comes A Woman, and Stay the Night from Chicago 17, as well as their overlooked 90's tracks like Chasin' The Wind and Show Me A Sign.
All in all, The Best Of Chicago 40th Anniversary isn't a bad album, but just doesn't completely do the job, unlike previous hits collections like 2003's The Box, or Only The Beginning did well for from 2002 which delivered more for music lovers. Still, if you don't as of yet own a Chicago album or haven't heard their music, than this would be a good sampler for beginners, but just doesn't feel like it is hard to say you're sorry.
