4.0 out of 5 stars Decent, But Could Have Been So Much Better, May 23, 2000

Having been a fan for many years, I welcomed this anthology with open arms. Like so many other country-pop-rock bands of the time (Orleans, Mason Proffit, Marshall Tucker Band, Pousette-Dart Band), Firefall boasted savvy pop smarts, agile performers and casual-as-a-summer-breeze songs that occasionally boasted a little bit o'spunk. So, this set comes along and offers fans the chance to hear all the band's great songs in a single session. And they're all here: "Just Remember I Love You", "You're The Only Woman" and, of course, my all time fave, "Strange Way". But, imagine my disappointment at hearing the watered down, badly butchered U.S. 45 RPM edition of "Strange Way". The album cut was a keeper: a "Witchy Woman"-like hit with great string arrangements and a gorgeous flute solo towards the song's end. Sadly, that eye-opening cut isn't the one that appears here. And maybe you'll think I'm being too much of a sourpuss, but that omission is just inexusable if you're a fan...and I am. Someone at Rhino should really make an effort and fix that problem. When they do, I'll gladly give this set the five stars it so rightfully deserves.

4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth your money, October 25, 2004

This collection of material by Firefall is well worth your money, IF you were a fan of the country rock sound (Eagles, Poco, Pure Prarie League, Flying Burrito Brothers, Byrds) that was so popular in the '70s. I hear the 'big two' radio friendly songs, ("Just Remember I Love You", and "You Are The Woman") in dentists' offices now.. which is really out of context.. Growing up in the '70s.. those songs sounded really good wrapped around Aerosmith, Thin Lizzy.. or the other rock songs of the day.. I know that "Just Remember I Love You" was a song that my girlfriend and I danced and kissed to.. and hearing it today brings back great memories. "Cinderella" and "Strange Way" were also favorites of mine.. and like another reviewer, I wish they had included the full length version of the song on this album... It was always special to hear the full length version on the radio.. (some stations always played single versions of "Stairway to Heaven", "Freebird"... "Kiss You All Over".. and that always ticked me off).. To the guy that gave this album one star..everyone has their own tastes.. for people who like the above mentioned music..this is well worth your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favorites, August 18, 2003

Please pardon me for reviewing a review, but some of the other reviews on this album have been so lame. I came of age when firefall was a new thing, and we were amazed at the time at the textures, the beauty, and the understated power of this music. One of the reviews I read said that most of these cuts could have been filler on an eagles album- well, the eagles may have had a few filler tunes, but their albums, like this one, were soothingly listenable from start to finish. Over the years since I bought this disk it has been a perrineal favorite of mine and Cinderella is just plain [cool.] If you like good seventies rock, BUY THIS DISK!! You won't regret it.
