The original hip-hop vocal band has unleashed a complete greatest hits package. They teased us with a few shorter versions of their best of on "Still Standing", but they came with it on this one. All the classics are here, from "Alice, I Want You Just For Me, Ain't My Type of Hype, to Unselfish Lover"..., but the unforgettable slow jams "All in My Mind", "4U:Full Force Mellow Medley" and the ever so sensuous "Kiss Those Lips", are here as well, all of which were missing from the "Still Standing" cd. They end the cd on a spiritual note with the "Man Upstairs" which was slept on back in the day which shows their early roots in the church. Overall this cd is da' Bomb, and one of the most complete greatest hits package I have ever heard..., This is a must have...., for true Full Force Fans

WARNING!! Don't buy that hot mess of a CD titled 'Still Standing' from 2001! This is the collection for you. MOST of Full Force's greatest hits are on this CD, and that includes super rare extended versions of 'Alice I Want You Just For Me' & 'Unselfish Lover', which take me back to the good times of 1985.

The ONLY drawback with this collection is the failure to include Force's big hit from 1987...'Love Is For Suckers (Like Me & You)', and I just had to add this track to my remastered CD. This song is on the 'Guess Who's Coming To The Crib' CD, which also features the classic slow jam 'All In My Mind'. Even though this collection is missing a key song, 'Full Force's Greatest Hits' is still a worthy collection for old & new fans alike. Don't sleep on this CD..who knows how long it will be in print!

Full force was the bomb. They are great producers as well. Alice, was my favorite jam.

So I just recently got into the band Lisa Lisa and decided to check out Full Force since she did an album with them. They are now my favorite r&b group of all time. The melodies are completely unique. The songs are unrpredictable. The lyrics are great. I love this CD!
by the way, since all of the people selling this on amazon are mean and won't sell this for under 37 dollars, i suggest purchasing it from the circuitcity website. its only 13 dollars there.

I LIKE THIS CD IT IS GREAT. IT HAS ALL OF MY FAVORITES FROM UTFO AND MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ALICE I WANT YOU JUST FOR ME. I LIKE IT WAS ALL IN MY MIND, UNSELFISH LOVER, AND MANY MORE I LOVE THIS WHOLE CD I USED TO LOVE FULL FORCE BACK IN THE DAY!!!!!

What more can I say. I loved Full Force in the late 1980's, and I still love them today. Their music was funky, soulful, yet fresh and they were definitely ahead of their time!!

Standout sensational songs include "Unselfish Lover" (someone has GOT to do a cover of this song, "All in My Mind", and "Please Stay".
