CD ReviewsEpic! Random Coolzip | Las Vegas, NEVADA United States | 04/05/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "I was stationed in Hawaii on a US Navy Submarine and was sitting in the radio room while the local station was announcing that they were going to play a rock version of War of the Worlds. Since I had the duty I had no place to go, I listened to it. Superb! It gave me chills then and it still does today. Richard Burton's voice really adds the glue to this whole concept album. Phillip Lynott of Thin Lizzy, Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues, and British Vocalists Julie Covington and David Essex provide the rest of the vocal talent.If you have never heard this then buy it. You wan't regret it!" War of the worlds in vinyl.... lynne | washington state | 07/27/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "i have a copy of this in vinyl, i bought it back in my teen days in the 70s (back in england).. a double record set, complete with booklet. pretty cool, and i remember listening over n over again to it, driving my parents crazy, i loved it! when i heard they had made the war of the worlds movie, i made my teenage kids listen to the "LP".... they werent too impressed with it....i guess i am getting old, showing my age here (45)! not to worry, the 70s stuff is the best!" Truly Wonderful Oymaprat | Nowhere In Particular | 07/11/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am still only 15, but I heard this when I was nine, and thought it was the best thing since chocolate. It introduced me to many, many other albums and bands. I owe it all to Jeff Wayne, and also to Rick Wakeman as I soon after heard his Journey to the Centre of the Earth.
This is a very powerful album in many respects, not only for it's famous narration by Richard Burton and its even more famous DUM DUM DUMMM, DUM DUM DUMMM, you get the picture. (I hope!) I truly believe that anyone who likes any form of music from the 70's will like this. I wont pretend that todays younger generation will appreciate it as the masterpiece it is, but all the rest of us should proudly own a copy of 'JEFF WAYNES MUSICAL VERSION OF THE WAR OF THE WORLDS.' It's a true classic, up their with Mozart and Haydn, well done Jeff! H.G. Wells would be proud." |
