4.0 out of 5 stars Glenn Hughes, along with Paul Rodgers, Ian Gillan, best ever, December 18, 1999

By	TJ (Mesa, Arizona) - See all my reviews

Glenn's singing is awesome on this, the guitar playing is inventive as all three guitarists (Jocke Marsh, George Nastos, and Steve Salas) featured show nice touch. One of my friends (a guitar player) says that this CD is one of the best of the decade...I don't know if I would go that far, but songs like "The Curse" make it stand above the vast majority of what is released nowadays...also some very good mid-paced songs that allow Glenn to show his vocal chops...I would rate Glenn tied with Paul Rodgers as the best Rock/R&B vocalists alive. Ian Gillan would be the only one who can touch them in range (Ian has fried his vocal chords but in the early 70's was the best Rock vocalist ever! ) and/or emotion with a honorable mention to David Coverdale, Ronnie James Dio, Klaus Meine, and Rob Halford. Buy this CD! You will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE WAY IT IS, November 27, 1999

By	Ricardo Villas Boas "Ricardo Villas Boas" (Recife, Brazil) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"the way it is" is a kind of cd that was a big surprise for me....positively! It was a long time i heard Glenn and loved your master vocals and bass playing in Purple Era! He was the best singer of Purple and one of the best in rock history...his live show in Recife (Brazil) was wonderful instead of bad sound ..his singing has never been better and continuous to be a virtuous bass player ever...Listen: YOU KILL ME,NEVERAFTER and THE WAY IT IS: they're diamonds! Is uncredible that Glenn doesn't receive that much attention these days. Not only that, but his lyrics are better and more meaningful.
