CD Reviews

Same as always!
Mike Thomas | Tulsa, Oklahoma United States | 12/30/1999
(5 out of 5 stars)

"If you are still stuck in the 80's time warp, Shooting Star is for you. They are not the most creative band, but they have there stong point covered. The songs mix and match well on the CD. It plays well without jumping over track's The new songs have the same feel as the old. If you have ever heard them live, you will remember the feel they recreate in the studio. If you have never listened to them, but still enjoy bands like Journey, Night Ranger, REO, Damn Yankee's ETC. Here is another band for you to follow! Enjoy!"
Good Music, Bad quality
Mike Thomas | 08/25/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)

"The music of Shooting Star is not very complex. Straight forward rock with a touch of balladeering. The songs still hold up and "Last Chance" is still a rock legend. The disappointment lies not with the music but with the sound quality of the CD. The sounds frequently pop and cut out and its overall sound is hollow. Although I love the convenience and durability of the CD, I will stick with my vinyl."
Not the Best Of I'd have made
Mike Thomas | 07/21/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Having collected all of the albums on record and cassette, I had high hopes for this release when I got it a few years back. And many of the great rocking songs I like the band for are there. The only difficulty is that they are interspersed with slower songs that I'm not particularly fond of. You get "Last Chance" and "Bring It On" followed by "You've Got What I Need", "Tonight" wakes you up again. But then are "Flesh And Blood" and the lamentable lament "Hollywood" to send you back towards dreamland. The rest of the album and the 2 new tracks at the end are similarly hit-and-miss. I greatly like their rock-band side, and wish that they hadn't followed the rock-and-roll edict that states that every band has to play ballads to show their diversity. I use the "Next Track" button on the CD player a lot with this album. Now that their first 5 are available on CD, I expect I will mix my own Best-of, leaving this one behind."
