Hits

A few Missing but Overall Great!!

Review Score:

(8/10)
Phil Collins was one of my favorite artists of the 80's, after leaving Genesis he had a wonderful solo career fullpacked with "Hits" through the whole 80's and 90's and this complilation sums it up pretty well. Casual fans would love it, however some very good songs are missing but if they would be included the album would have been so much longer. The songs I miss are in particularry "I don't care Anymore" "Don't Lose My Number" "Everyday" "Can't Turn Back the Years" and certainly a few others but this is not a album that included all of his hits, only 16 and these 16 are defenitely not bad.

"Another Day In Paradise" was one of the true radio classics that everyone knows, A classic. "True Colours" was new here. A cover of Cyndi Lauper's 1984 hit. Soulish uptempo song "Easy Lover" with Phillip Bailey is one of my favorites. "You Can't Hurry Love" a early Collins song where he makes the Supre
me's song his very own. "Two Hearts" a great love song. "I wish It would Rain down" Another love song frequently played on radio. "Against All Odds" probbaly one of his best. A powerballad from 1984. "Something Happened..." Another catchy song, not one of his best but good. "Seperate Lives" is not one of my favorites, but this ballad was a big hit aswell. "Both Sides" A good old Collins Trademark. "One More Night" a great ballad that he's so good at. "Sussudio" is a typical pop song with catchy sound. A 80's classic. "Dance into the Night" was a comeback song in 1996 that become a big hit, Uptempo and catchy aswell. "Groovy Kind of Love" a cover but good in his own way. Slow "In the Air Tonight" is one of Collins highlights, truly a classic aswell. "Take Me Home" a good Collins trademark.

For anyone that likes good music thsi album is something to get. Phil Collins deliveres the "Hits" and you won't get dissapointed, Pethaps it could have included 20 songs instead of 16 and it would have been good if they were in chronological order too. Other then that, A must have.
