This album was a let down after hearing her with Chis Botti in Boston.  She has a phenomenal voice, but I didn't like this album and its song choices.

This album was incredibly disappointing to me, but obviously I'm not a big Ramones fan.  I respect the Ramones, but this album I just didn't like.  I usually am a little wary of live albums anyway, because I would've rather been there than listening to them talk to the crowd instead of me.  Anyway, it has all of their early classics, but the album just got on my nerves.  Especially, when they count 1-2-3-4 before they start every song, it just drives me crazy in a bad way.  But, I still respect them for starting the punk rock movement.  Without them, some of my favorite bands wouldn't exist, so hats off to the Ramones, but not this album.

I was sent a copy of Yanni: Voices from the One2One Network to review and I'm sorry to say I just didn't like it.  I can't say that I ever was a Yanni fan.  Honestly, I've never listened to Yanni before now and if it all sounds like this, I guess I know why.

Some of the tracks were so repetitive musically and rhythmically that I had to just skip to the next.  Others reminded me of really terrible soap opera background themes or ridiculous romantic movie soundtracks.

I'm not saying that the singing was bad.  There are talented voices on this album.  It's just overproduced and too cheesy for me to seriously enjoy it.

This album may have more songs that John Denver's greatest hits, but I just don't like the selection of the performances they used.
Didn't think I'd ever find a John Denver album I ended up not liking, but they succeeded on this one.

Just the songs I was looking for. The rest of the album is fairly uninteresting

I only wanted one song, "Jesus" and unfortunately could not purchase the single selection. I don't like the other songs and therefore don't listen to them. However, since this is a "best of" CD, obviously others have found the other selections to their approval. Unfortunately, I'm not among them.

I bought this album when it debuted in 1999. As a young teenager, I thought Eminem was the cool new thing and I really liked his "My Name Is" song on the radio. However, when I got home and listened to the album and read the lyrics, I was really disturbed by the subject matter. I was not expecting to listen to songs about murder and drug overdoses. I figured the Parental Advisory label was just a formality for a few curse words on the album. I didn't have the luxury of getting on the internet and reading reviews of albums before I bought them back then. Not all the songs are as fun and radio-friendly as "My Name Is." This review may not be so relevant now that he's released several more albums over the last 10 years. I'm only writing it now b/c even though it was long ago and I'm an adult now, I still remember the grotesque scenarios he wrote about. Just know that if you are considering buying or loaning this album to someone, make sure they are mature enough to handle it. I give it two stars because of excellent production and Eminem's undeniable talent. (Loses 3 stars b/c of horrific subject matter, lol)

I think this will be a much better album than the last one, but this song didn't do much for me.

Not the best selection of songs in my opinion. I would do it differently.

I've held off on my review for such a long time, because, frankly, I just don't LIKE this album.  I feel as though I should like it, but the truth is in the listening, and after 4 listens, well, I can't make myself listen anymore.  I'm not willing to put in the effort it might take to make me finally catch on to what they're doing.

I don't find anything in the album offensive, but nor does anything particularly grab me.  I find the vocals, lyrics and instrumentation, not to mention the arrangements, honestly boring.

I like all kinds of music, really, with my currently most-listened to stuff as of late being John Mellencamp's new album (I love it) and older Goo Goo Dolls albums (love them, too), with some Audioslave and Rage Against the Machine thrown in for good measure.

But, bafflingly enough, I do not like Elbow.

I'm really sorry.

3-4 of the songs are awesome, but the album isn't one that I will listen to over and over again.  A little too much autotune makes it all sound the same.

David Phelps' voice is unparalleled. That's undisputable. But I was disappointed in the song choices on this album, coupled with an overall 'dated' feel. I really wanted to love it, but I didn't. Not this time...

I just did not care for this at all. I appreciate the fact that they're experimenting with a different sound, but in my opinion, it just doesn't go over that well. It has too much of an '80s sugar pop to it.

Maybe not everyone's favorite songs on this album, not mine, but you get a taste of what their shows were like at the time. I don't care for Concertina and ever since the album came out I was never a fan of the cut out audio towards the end of the album. Again it doesn't showcase the nice jams the band became known for but I guess it was supposed to be different from their first live album.

Both my wife and I really liked Ben Folds earlier albums, particularly rockin the suburbs.

We really disliked this album - many of the songs are unpleasant to listen to both musically and lyrically - neither of us has been inclined to listen to it more than once - the song with Regina Spektor is annoying - and the other songs simply seemed to be full of anger, harsh and tuneless.

as an india fan, this is not what I'm used to and I was disappointed. I hated it. I hated the English cross-over aspects of it. My favprite albums by India are her greatest hits album, ""Disen Que Soy", "Yo Soy Differente" and Latin Songbird

The album is good. It is just not my cup of tea. I really liked their debut album, but this album was too different for me.

With that being said, there are some very good songs on this album!
