Neil Diamond
Greatest Hits 1966-92
A Collection of Disappointment
Review Score:
(4/10)This two-CD set contains most of Neil Diamond's famous hits. However, this collection features many music selections from live performances--and, this is NOT a good thing. For example, in "Cracklin' Rosie," a truly great "sing along" tune, Neil shouts the lyrics rather than sings them. When he does sing, he can't hit the notes he used to. Save your money, and stick with the original recordings and you'll be much happier.
