Manfred Mann's Best Effort

"Many people belived that Manfreed Mann's Earth Band called it quits after The Roaring Silence, and who could blame them. After the sucess of the single Blinded by the Light, Not much was heard from the band. They continued making albums, but the music publics taste were constantly changing, and Manfred MAnn's music was left in the way side.But in 1986, The Band came out with an effort that is unbelieveable to the ears. This album should have put Manfred Mann back on the map, but sadly they didnt have the push from a major reord label to get them noticed. This album is full of energy, and is complimented from the vocals of Chris Thompson, who sang on Blinded by the Light. Every song has an interesting hook, especially Do Anything You want to do, The Beatlesque Talk to me, The driving Myster kids and etc. You will discover what the 80's were all about on this cd. A masterpiece from the closet"

Not as good as old albums

"Spirit of old MMEB is almost gone.More it is like tipical 80's pop-rock.

Kind of dissapoitment,but not totally."

"I am a long time fan and tried to get this album for many years, before I finally did. I was not disappointed ! It was dissappointing to find that I had such trouble because there was no record company in the U.S. with the wisdom to market the album. This was the most pop sounding album in years and I think the public should have been given the chance to hear a few songs at the very least! Thanks to on line ordering we fans can make our own choices"
