1.0 out of 5 stars NOT The 1985 album, February 5, 2006

By	Mark Kenneally "bassnote" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Boy in the Box (Greatest Hits Collection) (Audio CD)

Do not order this disc if you are looking for Corey Hart's 1985 album. This is a compilation disc with a few of his hits from most of his albums. It is totally deceptive to title this disc Boy In The Box.

3.0 out of 5 stars A BOY THAT ROCKS!, October 30, 2002

By	fabio-italy (milan, italy) - See all my reviews

What makes truly great a songwriter? in my opinon it is the skill to write songs that appeal to people with a different background and with different atttudes, songs people can relate to...
Well, Corey's style is definitely a far cry from Diane Warren's (another of my favourites): there are no rhymes here, or seldomly so.
But the storytelling is so powerful one can't break away from its spell.
It was 1985 and i was coming to terms with my being homosexual, not an easy step for a 14 years old kid, and then...BANG! i hear on the radio this song titled NEVER SURRENDER...the lyrics, the music, the harmony...i loved EVERYTHING about it.
Then i come to find out it is by Corey and there's a full album set to be released.
Useless to say that's the song that turned me into a faithful fan.
The album is so much better than his first release.
The songs are all equally powerful and appealing.
Most of them are rock-influenced with a heavy use of synths and fairlights machines, and the result will blow you away.
As well as NEVER SURRENDER, the other BIG ballad to me on the CD is EURASIAN EYES, pure poetry....
If you search for rock tracks, then BOY IN THE BOX and SILENT TALKING are your best bets, supported by wild-driven vocals of Corey.
My favourite non-single track off the CD is the deliciously bouncy, pop tune WAITING FOR YOU, and if you are a hopeless romantic, well, just skip to EVERYTHING IN MY HEART and let yourself be engulfed in a love declaration in music.
The guy showed how to grow more mature in the space of a couple of years, give him credit and buy this CD...you will like it....

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Ever Corey Hart Album, March 29, 2000

By	TANYA SHILSON (Australia) - See all my reviews

Boy In The Box is one of the most fantastic and enjoyable popalbums ever made.It is a perfect blend of guitar meeting synthesiserswith fantastic results. The title track is a fantastic pop song about screen legend James Dean that has a dark and powerful edge to it. After this first slice of pop bliss comes another in a similar vein.Corey screams out the orders to "shoot KOMRADE KIEV" on this track about the stupidity of the cold war. The synths,drums and guitar go wild on this track that should have been a single.Other tracks are skillfully written with brilliant lyrics and a musical mind trip that takes you on a journey. This album is a must for any pop music loving 80s fan or for someone new to Coreys music! END
