4.0 out of 5 stars Good CD, but missing some, January 3, 2000
This CD is good, but when I looked for my favorite tracks, most weren't there. 'Sweet Paradise,' 'Whole Lotta Heavy,' 'Friends and Family' and 'Maple Lane' were nowhere to be found. But the CD still has some of the classics: 'Signs', 'Coming of Age', and 'Country Girl Suite'. Personally I would find the records, if you can still play them, but if its digital you want, this is the one to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, December 22, 2002
By A Customer
Very few bands can successfully combine folk, rock, blues, and psycadelic pop into one unified sound, but Five Man Electrical Band pulled it off with flying colors. Every song here is of high calibre, and for those who have only heard "Signs," that is actually weaker than many of the cuts on this disc. True, the sound quality isn't sterling, but the quality of the playing and complex harmony vocals cuts through any technical imperfections. A must buy, even if it is hard to find.

3.0 out of 5 stars Five Man Electrical Band - 'Absolutely Right: The Best Of.... (Polygram), January 22, 2007
Looks to be the only CD available at the current time of this short-lived,two hit maker(not a one hit wonder,as most might assume)Canadian radio-friendly AM rock 'n roll five piece. Fifteen track anthology of Five Man's repertoire. Couldn't help but to notice the band had a slight country music direction. No matter,this CD is still worth a listen by you older fans(like myself). Most memorable cuts here are both the lp and single versions of "Signs", "Dance Of The Swamp Woman", the catchy "Absolutely Right" (the B-side to the "Signs" 45 single+their second actual hit), the well played "Julianna", "We Play Rock 'N Roll" and "Money Back Guarantee". Line-up:Les Emmerson-guitar&vocals,Brian Rading-bass,Ted Gerow-keyboards,Bobby Bruce-violin and Rick Belanger-drums.Another classic rock act from up north.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, not their best
A solid album, including perhaps their most famous single, "Signs". But if you want their best, buy their self-titled album.
