brilliant ,as usual with The Diamond

Review Score: (10/10)
I have been a fan for the last 24 years I am now 29 years old. this compilation has it all a must if you need to get close to the greatest artist. From "America", where he sings about the mass migration of foreigners, especially the Jewish race that came to the home of the brave, to the powerful "If you know what I mean" where he attempts to recapture the past and dwell on that time once again. Loneliness and how looking back on the past is something that is done but can be quite painful. Neil Diamond, a wise and experienced person has created these lyrics and tunes since he was young, a great and memorable album, confirming my thoughts when I saw him live in Sydney, Australia
