2.0 out of 5 stars Good new songs but...., April 14, 2005

By	Matthew E. Hamilton (Piscataway, New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Look, I love John waite. I've see him in concert when ever he is nearby in Jersey. I went to see him at Great Adventure in the pouring rain when there were only FIVE people there, and when he toured with Journey. I love his music.

But this album is a dissapointment. Not the music mind you, the album. The new/cover/remake songs are great,wonderful, can't say enough about them. But what's up with the 5 songs from Figure in a Landscape?!!? I don't get it. There is absolutely no need for these songs here. Those that are going to buy this album, I am sure, already own Landscape.

I would have prefered John stay in the studio, even if it took another year or so, and produce a FULL album of all new songs. Or at the very least, release the new songs on a small album at a lesser price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rereleased, September 22, 2004

By	Todd J. Sulfaro - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

5 of the songs on this CD are from John Waite, Figure in a Landscape, which is an excellent poppy album. If this album was promoted properly, I'm sure most of these songs would be hits.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Treat For John Waite Fans!, November 19, 2004

By	Mark Kosobiecki (Connecticut) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I don't know what to say about this album (CD) except, it's great. John's voice has never sounded better or more sincere than it does on NYC Girl, the guitar work on Godhead is great and, if you like anything from this genre, this is for you. I can't remeber the last time I heard an album that was so good and complete from start to finish as this one. Why the record company isn't pushing this one harder is beyond me. It has at least two radio worthy singles if not more. PLEASE do yourself a favor and give this a listen, you won't be sorry!
