Free Music Notes for The Very Best of the Human League Album
Free Music Review: A Really Good Overview of Human League
Hit: 5 Stars
Yes, I know, it contains updated versions of songs from there first two releases, Reproduction and Travelogue, but most American fans won't be familiar with those albums either way. They were a somewhat different sounding band on those first two albums and those songs don't really mesh well with this compilation, though they are good in their own right. The bottom line is that this is an outstanding collection of songs from their 80's catalog and beyond. I really don't recommend their albums from 86 onwards aside from individual songs and this album does a great job of compiling the songs I would personally recommend while still giving the listener the essential tracks from their earlier albums. If you have this album as a casual fan you would be all set. If your a fan of their earlier works but want certain later tracks then, again, you would be all set as well.
Its hard to point to specific stand out tracks because they are all outstanding in their own way. "Don't You Want Me", "Life On Your Own" and "The Lebanon" are personal favorites that most fans will be glad are present as well as a few suprises such as "Together In Electric Dreams" and "Louise" which I didn't expect to be included here. As far as the later tracks are concerned its really up to the listener as to whether they are truly their best. Of course, their smash 86 hit "Human" is included but many fans would argue whether the rest of the later cuts pass muster. Regardless of all that, the real treat is how impressive the sound quality on this compilation is. Adam Nunn did an outstanding job of mastering these tracks and I have never heard these tracks sound any better. In fact, the remastering of this album is why I gave it 5 stars instead of 4. A lot of compilations are well done with regards to song selection but usually fall short when it comes to remastering. Human League fans have been spared this fate.
