CD Reviews

Would have been a great studio album.

12/30/1998

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Not bad, but I thought it was over produced. Goerge Martin tried to make it sound like a studio album, using an orchestra to back the band. This causes America to lose some energy and makes them sound more like a night club act than a classic rock band. Though it does provide some insight into how George Martin would have handled America's early hits had he produced them. His arangement of Horse With No Name is very interesting."

CLASSICS - LIVE!

"Great songs with very different, but incredible, arrangements.
Having seen other concerts at The Greek, I can only imagine the incredible how the orchestra looked behind the band.Sound quality is good, but shows some drawbacks of early technology. Enjoy it!"

Their first album as a duo.

"Contrary to the official review, this was recorded after Dan Peek had left the band and not before. This was their first album as a duo and it is not bad, but I agree that it was over produced by George Martin. It was America's first commercial flop, failing to crack the Billboard Top 100 Albums chart in 1978 despite including live recordings of many songs that had been big hits just a few years ealier. I think they would have been better off without the backing orchestra and tried for a more "classic rock" style performance which was more typical of their live shows."
