I've read with keen interest some of the reviews from others who have felt shunned or depressed about life and sought solace in David Hasselhoff's musical artistry. Well, I too am one of those people, and at the risk of being repetative, I'd like to share my life of former misery, and expound on how Hasselhoff has turned me around for the better.

Some persepective is needed. Starting in my teen years, I was a virtual shut-in, a recluse with no friends, no dreams, no enthusiasm, basically no real life to speak of. Mother pleaded for me to exit my cellar-like room in the basement more often, but her begging fell on deaf ears. Sadly, my Mother and Father endured my constant sorrowful outlook and mood, simply because I was their only son; if I had been anyone else, it would have been hasta la vista...baby. Within the framework of this joyless existence, we all tried to coexist.

Though it sounds cliched, and perhaps a bit surprising, I turned to smack by the time I was 32, in order to get through the days. I became a skeletal worm, unrecognizable to Mother and Father, who stared at my pale skin and hallowed-out eyes as if I were a stranger. "Meatloaf Tuesday" and "Pizza Thursday" at the dinner table soon became unbearable for all three of us. (Heck, I never ate anyway, so what difference did it make?)

Eventually, I gave up. One day, at my lowest point and refusing to pretend any longer, I walked to the local meat-packing plant where gruff Uncle Charlie has worked for over two decades. My intentions were to hurl myself into the core of the meat grinder. On the way to the plank, I happened by a mini-TV; a factory worker on break was watching "Baywatch," though I didn't know what the show was at the time.

"Who is that man?" I asked the union worker watching the pint-sized TV.

The man gave me an odd look. "David Hasselhoff," he replied. "Check out the chick he's talking to, jack," the gruff man demanded.

"He is exquisite," was all I could gasp.

The worker gave me an even more quizzical look, not that I cared. I have since purchased every single Hasselhoff musical work I could get my hands on, starting with this classic, "Looking for Freedom." Hasselhoff's face, with its gleaming blue eyes, jutting jaw and soft aura, hooked me from day one, but it was his music on this CD that gave me actual hope.

I now attend art classes at the local junior college, and might even pursue getting my driver's license someday. Plus, Mother promises me that if Hasselhoff ever tours the area, she will buy tickets for both she and I!!! Father has become less distant around me, and every now and again, with Mother's permission, I am allowed to walk to market by myself and purchase candy and juice!!! (With Mother's money, of course. I do not have a current steady income, but Mother says I may work to that achievement someday.)

Thank you, David, for your music has opened my world to limitless, unpredictable realms I never thought were possible!

BYE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After listening to the CD for 134 hours non stop my CD player died. Because I could not afford to replace my CD player I ate the CD. It seemed logical at the time? I am posting this from the hospital(Not because of eating the CD but because of what I did with the Jewel Case!).

This album hits new heights in the cheese department. I thought it could have been Cheddar when I bought it but I discovered that, in fact, it was rotting Brie.

After listening to this album a couple of times I lost the power of sight and attempted suicide. After listening a third time I assaulted myself and then developed an eating disorder. If I am forced to listen to any more of his music or look upon his hugely slappable face again I will disembowel myself and then turn myself inside-out with a coat-hanger.

I really don't know what to say. I didn't actually LISTEN to the album, but I was compelled to write after I saw the pants. God save us

What a great album, though I do say so myself. Actually, it's not really me - it's my mum writing this review.

My boy Daniel looks so cute in those ripped jeans and open leather jacket - not an 80's throwback at all.

Well, I'm really happy to review this album - which is just as well, since track 1 asks "Is Everybody Happy?". This is a very deep question, so I advise you all to think very carefully - and not just copy someone else's answer, Mr Jones - yes, I do mean you!

Lonely is the Night is a very soulful ballad, which Dougal manages to transform into a slice of Quicy Quintessence. No, Mr Jones, I do not mean you.

Track 3 is well covered in reviews of Dilbert's other albums, so I'll skip to Sheltered Heart, a story of a man who cuts out the heart of his estranged lover and runs away to live in a sweet little log cabin on the lake, where together they make beautiful music. All those heart valves make for an intriguing instrument, I can tell you.

Now, those who knew of my boy's talents in French and German speaking will wet themselves at Torero - Te Quiero, where he demonstrates his amazing abilities yet again by singing in Klingon.

Yesterday's Love needs no introduction to fans of John, Paul, Ringo and that other nice chap... Graham, I think.

I was so surprised that this album also contains "Looking For Freedom", as it is my favourite song of all time, and Derek does it so much better than that George Michelin bloke.

Flying on the Wings of Tenderness is my favourite track of all time, it's got a really good beat that you will find nice to dance to, and I think that Lady will be playing at all the raves this year, which is a shame, as I don't like my bouy to have anything to do with the underground circuit.

Song of the Night is particularly effervescent, and Avignon is all about a little village in Nova Scotia.

I was telling you earlier about Dougal's exceptional talent for languages - well here he his, the little monkey, singing in Swahili and Cantonese simultaneously. "After Manana Mi Ciello" (My Cello Eats Bananas), and Amore Amore (Elisabeth) (More, More, jelly in my bath) are both lovely tunes for you to "chill" to, as you young people do nowadays.

Well, I know you're going to LOVE this CD, so buy it for someone special - go on, buy yourself a copy too, as a treat! - Why not go all the way, and get a copy for every member of your family. You'll be treated as a proper member from that moment on, I assure you!

Must get on - my goat is lacking in mineral supplements, even though I bought that really good book by Ulrich Jaudas, Matthew M. Vriends - I think that section is out of date.

Is Everybody Happy? Well, yes I certainly am. After purchasing this work of modern genius my woofers haven't had a chance to relax. This music is cutting edge and I find myself listening to it whatever I am doing eg dressing up like a woman , practising goat husbandry etc.

The stand-out track for me is "amore amore (elisabeth)" ; such is the strength and vigour of Hasselhoff's voice that I find myself quivering with sheer wet delight in my Hasselhoff-esque pants.

Buy this album now you musically challenged peasants...

David Hasselhoff more an imprecation of joy than merely the name of this planets foremost musical genius. I was looking for something, freedom, as I recall and i experienced a religious conversion. Imagine some crazy cat mixing Teutonic mythology, experimental electronic synthesizer music with a home perm and then adding the finest elements of the haiku, the beat poets and spray on some denim and you've got it - Hoff unleashed.

From the power and majesty that is the opening track, Looking for freedom, to the touching Song of the Nicht I was stunned. And this reviewer is left with only two puzzles to answer, how do the Germans always get the best tunes from Uber Alles to Sheltered Heart ? And why isn't Meister Hoff the inaugral recipient of the Nobel prize for music? Looking for freedom - don't look enjoy.

Not only is this Cd a new benchmark in quality, but it also helped me with my grasp of french, on track 3 david tells us Je t'aime means I love you.....truly inspiring and very helpful to boot.

A more complete work of art? I don't think so.

Let's face it, David Hasselhoff is beauty and David Hasselhoff is music. If it wouldn't be breaking a comandment, I would make idols of this man, place them in my dorm room, and worship them for hours on end. Screw Charolette Church, it is David Hasselhoff who has the voice of an angel. The man defines the human experience with his smooth and emotionaly charged lyrics. I am thoughly moved by his music, often times I burst into tears or start convulsing because of just how deeply I am moved by the mans's music. There is nothing in this world, not even my Malcom Jamal Werner action figure, that i value more than this CD of my David Hasselhoff. I implore everyone to enrich there lives and buy this CD. The world will be such a pretty place if we all keep a little Hasselhoff song in our hearts. David Hasselhoff rocks and looks darn good doing it. Holla.

I was looking for freedom and I found it!What can I say Dilbert Hasamullets done it again.I am serving 25-life and was looking to secure my position in here. After letting the inmates hear those lucious songs Dastardly Hingelmuffin belted out, My official position is head prag.

I love tracks 1,3,5,7,9,and 10.

My friend now love me to play this album and love me 3-5 times a day.

Our song is Je'Tame' means I love you. Shillinger demands I play it every time!

I wanna meet him in person and show him my appreciation! Gotta Love those pants!
