1.0 out of 5 stars NOT The 1985 album, February 5, 2006

Do not order this disc if you are looking for Corey Hart's 1985 album. This is a compilation disc with a few of his hits from most of his albums. It is totally deceptive to title this disc Boy In The Box.

This is not Corey Hart's 1985 album!!!! Without a picture of the album cover and with "NO TRACK LISTING", there was almost no way to know that this was not his 1985 album. (Except for the small product description that I overlooked. It stated "Songs: Sunglass at Night, Boy in the box, In your soul, Never surrender, etc." Since, the 1985 album included the title track "Boy in the Box" and "Never Surrender", it alone wouldn't have raised that much of a red flag. This is a poor grade compilation disc with a few hits from several of his albums. All of the songs were included in the other "authorized" Hits packages. This looked like someone burned this CD from their home and made up the cover art. It is totally deceptive to title this disc "Boy In The Box". Since, I only spent about $8.00 to get this disc, I probably won't go thru all the trouble it would take to get my money back, but at least I can warn any other potential customers!

3.0 out of 5 stars A BOY THAT ROCKS!, October 29, 2002

This review is from: Boy In The Box (Audio CD)

What makes truly great a songwriter? in my opinon it is the skill to write songs that appeal to people with a different background and with different atttudes, songs people can relate to...
Well, Corey's style is definitely a far cry from Diane Warren's (another of my favourites): there are no rhymes here, or seldomly so.
But the storytelling is so powerful one can't break away from its spell.
It was 1985 and i was coming to terms with my being homosexual, not an easy step for a 14 years old kid, and then...BANG! i hear on the radio this song titled NEVER SURRENDER...the lyrics, the music, the harmony...i loved EVERYTHING about it.
Then i come to find out it is by Corey and there's a full album set to be released.
Useless to say that's the song that turned me into a faithful fan.
The album is so much better than his first release.
The songs are all equally powerful and appealing.
Most of them are rock-influenced with a heavy use of synths and fairlights machines, and the result will blow you away.
As well as NEVER SURRENDER, the other BIG ballad to me on the CD is EURASIAN EYES, pure poetry....
If you search for rock tracks, then BOY IN THE BOX and SILENT TALKING are your best bets, supported by wild-driven vocals of Corey.
My favourite non-single track off the CD is the deliciously bouncy, pop tune WAITING FOR YOU, and if you are a hopeless romantic, well, just skip to EVERYTHING IN MY HEART and let yourself be engulfed in a love declaration in music.
The guy showed how to grow more mature in the space of a couple of years, give him credit and buy this CD...you will like it....
