One of there best albums. If you have heard their radio hits "Round and Round" or "Tell Me What Should I See" from their previous albums, you can expect the same quality from those songs to be on several of these tracks. They were big in Canada (as I have recently read) but never really broke in the USA. Shame really, because their music is refreshing with haunting melodies and very intelligent lyrics.

After listening to the first half of "Shake Your Spirit", I'm forced to conclude that it is a disappointment. It is hard to believe this is the same band that delivered the original sound and insightful, incisive lyrics that make every track on the self-titled album, "Frozen Ghost", a favorite even after 20 years. By comparison, the lyrics on "Shake Your Spirit" seem like fluff. And the music, at least through the lens of 2008, seems derivative.

This is not a bad album and I'll listen to the rest, but I don't foresee it joining my my favorites list. I'd suggest skipping this one in favor of "Frozen Ghost" if you can find it or "The Essentials" if you can't. "The Essentials" appears to include a number of good tracks from "Frozen Ghost" and presumably the best ones from "Shake Your Spirit".

I was one of the few Americans that fell in love with Frozen Ghost in the late 80's. It is too bad that they never hit it big in the US.

They are awesome and I am thrilled to find their CD's on Amazon. I have been looking for the CD's for YEARS to replace my archaic cassette tapes which are quite worn out.

I am happy the internet brought me back to this band so I can put them on my iPod and enjoy their music.

I love all three albums but the original self-titled album may be my favorite.

Frozen Ghost rocks!
