Balancing AD s Scale - Although some complaints have been made regarding how this collection was assembled, it *does* represent all of AD s released singles from their two studio albums plus the single recorded for the Malcolm X sdtk (Revolution). However, it then tosses in a few random songs that maybe the label thought were the most listenable(!?!). Ah well, what can you expect from the major labels anymore? I still prefer to put on 3 Years... or Zinga over this collection, as both albums have either subtle or blatant themes that hold them together, but I suppose if you re in a pinch...
A good party mixer cd - This album is a great cd to slip into the mix on a cd DJ. Positive vibes.
Oh come ON! - I m sorry, but they re awful. There s no other word to describe it. Arrested Development are the worst group to ever grace the worst genre of music imaginable. In fact, they come close to being the worst human beings alive. They re not clean and respectable, just boring. Their music is more bland than a mouthful of dry Jacobs crackers (and even more difficult to swallow). What on EARTH were they thinking of? I mean - why why why?THESE PEOPLE ARE COMPLETELY DEVOID OF ANY TALENT.Do not buy anything that they ve released. Speech, Baba Oje, Sister Eshe and even the great Rasa Don ought to be locked up in a 4ft by 4ft room for the rest of their lives and should be made to listen to their own music 24 hours a day. It s the only punishment bad enough for them.
arrested development is back - arrested development is back and making a new cd.
K-TEL? - Do NOT waste your time on this CD. It s cheap, but as with most things in life, you get what you pay for. The label (I ll assume) slapped together 10 songs with out even a nod to feel. As a matter of fact, it is part of something called Ten Best Series that feels a lot like those old K-TEL compilations. Some other fine Ten Best Series artists included The Babys, Billy Squier, Spandau Ballet, and Corey Hart (I hope that gives you a sense for the bargain-bin feel of this disk - There s not even an insert sleeve for the CD, just a single slip of paper with a picture on the front and a blank back). Had I read a review of this CD, or even been told by Amazon that this was part of some lame series, I would have spent my cash replacing my old 3 years, 5 months...
