5.0 out of 5 stars It's Headed For the Future, March 9, 2001
By Donna Creel (Garden City, KS USA) - See all my reviews
I love any and all of Neil's CDs but this one is special because of the song "The Story of My Life". That song alone makes it worth the price. It's one of his best. I always play it over and over. Brian Orser skated to this one in competition before and it was wonderful. Headed for the Future is a nice upbeat tune. Being a fan since Sweet Caroline, whatever he wants to do is fine by me.

4.0 out of 5 stars A slice of techno-pop, September 5, 2000
By David Hugaert (Honolulu, HI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When I first listened to this CD, I was a little surprised Neil Diamond strayed pretty much from his usual "soft side" and went for a harder techno-pop sound here. This is not a bad CD to say the least, and many of the heavily synthesized tracks provide a welcomely refreshing change of pace in songs like the title track "Headed For The Future", "Stand Up For Love", and the Stevie Wonder penned "Lost In Hollywood", on which Stevie provides the keyboards. This CD also has its melancholy side with tracks like "The Man You Need" and "It Should Have Been Me", as well as sentimental tracks ("I'll See You On The Radio) Laura" and "Me Beside You". The techno-pop, synthesized sound is alone worth the price of this CD. Even true Diamond fans will want to add it to their collection. A must buy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Headed For the Future
Great songs especially "The Story of My Life". Very powerful song. The other songs are equally as good. Neil Diamond just has a special way of sending a message by song.
