Hit: 4 Stars

20th Century Masters: Millennium Collection The Best Of The Osmonds is like an airplane that taxis down the runway and never quite takes off because this album is just too short. How can anyone take a mere eleven songs and claim that this is a "best of" collection? The Osmonds made so much more great music than just what we have here; and that irks me. However, what we do get is excellent words and music throughout; and the artwork isn't bad at all.

The song set starts with a huge hit for The Osmonds entitled "One Bad Apple;" this tune has a funky `60s/`70s beat to it that makes me happy even all these years later! The music never drowns them out and the musical special effects are terrific. The Osmonds sing and play "One Bad Apple" with a whole lot of feeling and that's impressive. "Double Lovin'" may not be as strong as the first number; but the arrangement is very well done and the melody is still rather catchy. It's great to hear such a young Donny Osmond really opening up to sing out these tunes!

"Down By The Lazy River" was recorded a scant few years later; but already we hear a much more mature Osmonds group. The electric guitar really rocks and The Osmonds sing this with passion! I really like "Down By The Lazy River" and I predict that you'll like it, too--it's a major highlight of this album. In addition, "Crazy Horses" rocks very well as we hear The Osmonds performing with that distinctly `70s flavor. "Crazy Horses" also has great music effects and The Osmonds perform this with all their hearts.

"Goin' Home" also rocks and it's great to hear how their voices were maturing so very nicely. "Goin' Home" has a beat that is irresistible and this will make you want to get up and start dancing wherever you are! "Goin' Home" rocks and swings bright as The Osmonds turn this one out so well! Moreover, listen for "Love Me For A Reason;" this tune reverts back to a softer pop ballad that showcases their excellent ability to sing both rock and a soft pop tune without any flaws whatsoever. "Love Me For A Reason" is a very pretty tune that is worth mention and I hope you like it.

"The Proud One" showcases a more mature Donny Osmond with a musical arrangement that is extremely pretty; the percussion is used very well and "The Proud One" is yet another major highlight of this CD. The CD also ends strong with The Osmonds performing a cover of "He Ain't Heavy...He's My Brother." The Osmonds perform this with great sensitivity and panache; and it makes the perfect ending for this set of songs.

Now I have no problem with the music we get on this CD--my gripe is that there's just not enough of it for 20th Century Masters to call this a legitimate "best of" compilation! Shame on them! I will take off one and ½ stars for this problem. Osmond fans may already have most of these hits in their collections, so perhaps this is a CD best suited for the casual fan or newcomers who want a starter CD to discover just how great The Osmonds truly were.
