This is a classic album set.  If you like Dixieland music that is a little updated, this is good stuff.

Obviously a classic/seminal album of the 90s.  BUT, you really don't need anything other than the one disc version if you are a casual (or possibly even a slightly serious) fan.  I love Nirvana, but found that the second disc really didn't add much to my thinking about this album (and the boombox versions are, um, challenging to listen to).

The remaster sounds good to these ears.  I could be wrong, but maybe they went a little easy on the compression, unlike other albums these days?

This is a classic!  I quickly fell in love with this album (like Animals).
It's starts out with the epic "Shine On You Crazy Diamond."  This is the alone reason to buy the album but there are four more songs to mention.  "Welcome To The Machine" is one of the most underrated songs of all time, a beautiful mellow song.  "Have A Cigar" is a blueish song about political problems.  Next is "Wish You Were Here", a timeless classic that still sounds fresh even with today's production standards.  "Shine On...Part 2" continues and is even stronger than the first part.
No collection is complete without this masterpiece.  Get it now.

Like the album title, these are the greatest hits. Maybe there are some favorites missed but this is a collection.

A classic album. Do you really need me to further validate this?

Nice selection of songs.  Nothing outstanding.

Most Supertramp fans will say that their best efforts were on Crime of the Century and Breakfast In America. And while I'm inclined to agree that both are good, Even in the Quietest Moments is often slept on. Chances are that unless you're a die hard fan, you probably won't know any other tracks off of this except "Give a Little Bit". Truly a staple among their discography, and its a favorite of mine, the rest of the album is chock full of good music to vibe with. Following the opening of "Give a Little Bit", the next track is "Loverboy". Now its not exactly my favorite song on the album, actually its my least favorite to be honest, it reminds me a little bit of Queen. My comparison might be wrong in some folks' eyes, but the musical style is similar to "Bohemian Rhapsody". Next up is the title track, which is a melancholy song begging for a significant lover not to walk away. Rounding out the first side is "Downstream". This is where the album starts to pick up steam. Real simple song about spending a lazy day with someone special, not over done musically. "Babaji" comes next, which was an ode of sorts for Tramp member Roger Hodgson, giving praise to his religion of choice, although I'm not quite sure which one specifically. Regardless, it proceeds to start of the second side with a bang. Following that, we have "From Now On", which I'm sure most working class folks can relate to. If you're doing your day job and feel in a rut, check out this track. Finally, "Fool's Overture", which references events revolving around WWII. Not a bad climax clocking in at over 10 minutes. The main downside is that Quietest Moments is very short consisting of just the seven tracks, which by today's standards is more of an EP than an LP. But maybe that's the way they wanted it to be and keep their fans wanting more. Think of it as an appetizer to Breakfast In America. But this is one of those situations where the appetizer has a better flavor than the main course. But both albums are great. This particular one stands out for me though. Check it out for yourself if you haven't already done so.

Classic hip hop album. What more can I say. If you don't own it you probably don't know real hip hop. Ditto.

A wonderful album for the more avid collector highlighting live performances of favorite Rochereau classics. This album is live and some of the recording aren't studio quality, however, the historical significance supersedes any recording distortion. Something to dive into if you are interested in what the music world was like before you were born. I would suggest this be your first Tabu Ley album. But if it is cheap, get it.

good choice of songs to add to your collection.

This album's title track makes you think it's another collection of sloooooow songs BUT go further into the tracklist and you'll hear a mix that varies in pace and style. Some surprises, some expecteds. All original, and all memorable for the sound or message, or both. The REPEAT button will be your friend as you give this one more than one listen-through.

Great Album but unfortunately wasn't a big succes when it was released. Now it is consider as a classic.

A great classic album. A rare recording in that it's not heavily edited like live albums of today.

This is a great album to add to my collection. Like the album says, "Their sound was born too early." I love listening to "forgotten" music; it's been my finding, these often are the best.

A good Kraftwerk album but definitely not their best.  Buy Trans Europe Express, The Man Machine and Computer World.  All three are classics.  I still enjoyed Electric Cafe.

I don't know how any serious Kinks fans can regard this album as anything more than a one-off novelty item. I bought it on the strength of 'God's Children' one of the loveliest Ray Davies pieces as of 1971. However, one exceptional song does not a five-star rating make (or a four-star for that matter). In order for an album to receive a top rating, all songs must be of high caliber. A four-star rating may include a clunker or two. Beyond that I don't see giving albums high ratings if half of their contents seem like filler or sub-standard material. In the clunker category would be the Lola instrumental - totally gratuitous. 'The Way Love Used to Be' is a nice gentle number but is followed by two generic instrumental tracks 'Completely' and 'Running Round Town.' I realize that soundtrack recordings are a different breed but that is precisely the reason there are so few that stand on their own as distinct and essential listens. My favorite soundtrack album is performed by the No Smoking Orchestra for Emir Kusturica's film 'Life is a Miracle' - totally unique and compelling music that I would, nonetheless, be hard-pressed in giving a five-star rating. These type of recordings simply contain too much filler and inconsequential material that make it tedious to listen to in a leisurely manner.

'Moments' and 'Animals in the Zoo' are fine tracks that would fit nicely on many Kinks records of that period. The melodramatic 'Just Friends' obliterates the momentum generated by the previous two tracks. 'Whip Lady' has promise but just dies at 1:20. I really like 'Dreams' and it could be the most engaging song on this record but it just doesn't flow evenly. Fifty seconds into the song there is an inexpicable left turn that simply detroys the infectious beginning of that song. 'Helga' is a decent instrumental that includes some of the finest acoustic guitar work ever by the Kinks (is it Dave or Ray?). 'Willesden Green' is (I believe) the first attempt by Ray to mimic one of his mentors, Johnny Cash. We also hear this later on the live concert from EVERYBODY'S IN SHOWBIZ. However unique this track may be it isn't conducive toward repeated listening.

So with three good tracks, a couple of OK songs and a remainder of forgettable tracks I can't justify giving this CD a good rating of three-star or better.
