Free Music Review: The best compilation of Animals
Hit: 5 Stars
I think that in this compilation there are the most important songs of this band,and a young man who did'nt know the Animals, can appreciate their musical production.Free Music Review: British Invasion 1965
Hit: 5 Stars
As a 17 yr old, I had the opportunity to see 2 of the great British bands in action, at the Anaheim Convention Center, Hermans Hermits and the Animals. Both were great acts, but the Animals were definitely the heavy weights, with Eric Burdon, probably one of the most charismatic lead singers, at the helm, belting out "House of the Rising Sun", in a way that not only duplicated the studio sound but raised the dramatic pitch by 100. So I purchased this CD with great anticipation, which paid off in spades. It's a wonderful collection of their music, and I was especially glad to see that they included the original 45 version of "WE GOT GET OUT OF THIS PLACE", which is worth the price of the CD by itself.
I remember seeing Chas Chandler, walking around the stage, laying down the baseline tracks to that song.
All of the other greats are included DON'T BRING ME DOWN, DON'T LET ME BE MISUNDERSTOOD, and probably the best rock version of BOOM BOOM laid on vinyl. Like the Yardirds, the Animals were tough, gritty and put out music for the soul. Their approach to the music they popularized, was intense and heavy hearted, nothing was taken for granted by this band. Funny how I can see them onstage, sooo many years ago, as I listen to this CD. For anyone who missed the British Invasion and the 60's, I would strongly encourage them to purchase this anthology collection and take the trip back to a time when music served as the back beat of everyday life.....
Free Music Review: Highly recommended!

Just the following 2 songs are worth buying the CD.San Franciscan nights and Sky pilot(long version).Free Music Review: ONE OF THE GREAT BANDS OF ALL TIME!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
The Animals were one of the great bands of all time. Their level of musicianship was only rivaled by the Beatles (even though they played different styles of music). This CD has all of their hits from all of the phases of the band's career and is a must to complete your collection. I prefer "The Complete Animals", only because I prefered the version of the band that recorded with Alan Price on keyboards, but this is a great CD. In response to the reviewer who called this band a poor man's Rolling Stones, the Stones only wish they had the chops these guys had.
Free Music Review: don't be fooled, most won't know!
Hit: 2 Stars
what a great collection from an incredible band. I would have been very happy with this group of songs if they had been the original versions. I don't know what the reviewer (who claims to be a d.j.) is talking about, they are not the originals, I have most of them on 45's, (a collector). Why can't we buy a cd/album that is true to where it came from. I'd rather listen to clicks and pops than a sham! to bad people who don't know the difference are buying these albums and being mislead.
