Hit: 5 Stars
I know some of you are probably looking at The Best of Hanson Live and Electric and worrying, somewhere along the lines of, "What if this is too much like Live From Albertane?" Rest assured. These two albums couldn't be MORE different! A: The song arrangement on this album is much different than that on Live From Albertane, B: the music is played a little harder (really sounds good!), and C: there is much more variety to it! Included are covers of Radiohead's "Optimistic and U2's "In A Little While". Both are brilliant! New songs like "Every Word I Say" and "Rock'N'Roll Razorblade" only add to the excitement! Rock'N'Roll Razorblade is my favorite of the two. I've watched it played live, on Underneath Acoustic Live (the dvd) and needless to say I fell in love with it! I'm thrilled it's on this album! Every Word I Say is good too. I can't help but wonder if Taylor wrote this for his wife? Sweet song! And don't forget all of those hits from Middle of Nowhere, Underneath, and This Time Around! They sound brand new and better than ever! You don't know what you're missing out on until you've heard Hanson's latest!
P.S. Read the poem inside the cd case! It's inspiring. Also, the bonus DVD is a blast! Six music videos and a photo slideshow! :)
My favorite songs off this album: Every Word I Say; Very sweet ballad! I like how it's sung., In A Little While; Wow! They sure know how to play U2!, MMMBop; Honestly, how could they leave this out?, Rock'N'Roll Razorblade; This song has a really driven attitude to it. Whenever Hanson sings "Watch me bleed!", it's almost like they're daring you to!, If Only; I really REALLY love this song! So good!

On this sequel to 1998's LIVE FROM ALBERTANE,Clarke Isaac,Jordan Taylor and Zachary Walker Hanson give their fans 15 of their most popular and best-loved tunes of all time. Are they still wooing their female fans? My answer is "Yes,they are.". On this album,the three brothers are pleasing their Aussie fans(it was recorded in Melbourne,Australia) with MIDDLE OF NOWHERE tracks such as WHERE'S THE LOVE?,I WILL COME TO YOU,LOOK AT YOU and MMMBOP. On the brothers' first live album recorded in July 1998,they were still promoting MON,14 months after that release(and it was still on the pop/rock charts). I notice no key change on IWCTY unlike the MON studio track and the live track on LFA. Even the other tracks were performed in different keys than heard on the other albums. From 2000's THIS TIME AROUND are the title track,A SONG TO SING and IF ONLY. Last year,when the brothers were still promoting the April 2004 release of UNDERNEATH for this album,they also kicked butt on STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK and PENNY & ME. ROCK AND ROLL RAZORBLADE really kicks butt. This album could have used the Crosby,Stills & Nash 1970 hit TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL as heard on the UNDERNEATH-ACOUSTIC LIVE DVD. But the DVD was a separate performance from November 2003. The Barry,Robin and Maurice Gibb of Tulsa,Oklahoma will be eligible for induction into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2022. The Hansons are potential legends already. So they're no longer teen idols,so what? You can't be a teen idol forever. The brothers are all men now. CIH is now aged 25,JTH is 23 and ZWH will turn 21 in September. Hey,girls and women will always love these guys. The brothers have plenty of male fans also. Keep up the great music,guys!Free Music Review: The best is yet to come

I have been a fan of Hanson since the MMMBop-days and loved their new fresh sound that they introduced to the world. And because of them, we got the pop-era.
Now fast forward past those years, and you get this new and wonderful album: *The Best of Hanson: Live and Electric.* This album by far showcases their vocals and talent as young rockers. I thought that this album was going to be like Live From Albertane, but I was completely wrong! Their voices have gotten mature and they have refined their instrument playing skills. And the two covers that they do, *Optimistic - Radiohead* and *In A Little While - U2* are done brillantly! I was shocked to hear how much they sounded like the originals. I'm amazed at how much Taylor hits the same notes key for key. And that's just the beginning. Isacc really showcases his guitar-licks on the songs *Hand In Hand*, *Where's The Love*, and *Look At You.* And Zac continues to impress me as he pounds away on the drums. Each and every song truely shows that the guys have grown up from their MMMBop-days to the mature, rockers we love to see and listen to. All the songs from MON, TTA, and Underneath are just shown better live on this album with the twists and cuts that they guys have put into it and I appreciate each song more so than before. I hope to hear many more albums from them and to attend more shows from them because, if they are anything like this album, then we are only in for a good, long, and wonderful music ride with them for years to come.

This album lets you listen to Hanson at their best, playing live, doin what they love to do: make great music. I'm a big fan of Hanson since 1997, and this is a pleasure to my ears, as a music and rock lover. From songs from "Middle of Nowhere" to songs from the new album "Underneath", you can blast it on your sound system and take a trip to Hansons work trough the years. Great songs like "Where's the Love", "Look at You","I Will Come To You" and "MMMbop" that were huge hits for them in the late 90's, get wonderfully played live and electric, harder like never before, along with new tunes from earlier work like "This Time Around" "Penny & Me" and "Underneath". Finally a "Best Of", finally a new live concert after 1998's "Live from Albertane", and yet again they sound perfect playing live, better than never! It's amazing how they sound live! Hanson music is great. Go out and buy this!Free Music Review: The Best just got better

The Best of Hanson: Live and Electric can easily be named one of Hanson's best. This new live CD features the songs that put Hanson on the map, the songs the die-hards can't live without, and the songs that inspire the band itself. It's an accolade to their ever-maturing sound and a testimony to their spirit. In comparison to their first live CD [Live from Albertaine], "Best Of" opens a whole new world featuring the skill of a band that has been together for thirteen years, coupled with the bravery of independence. Their sound has evolved from record-label cookie cutters to arguably one of the best young bands around today, living legends in the making. With this album, there is no doubt that Hanson are on their way to continued success and a well-earned rung high on the ladder of music esteem. Are you listening?
