Outstanding November 3, 2005

Anyone who liked the Stone Roses but has been unimpressed by Ian Brown should at least listen to this album. Anyone who#x27;s liked some of his solo work, but doesn#x27;t own much of it (like me), should buy it and they#x27;ll love it.pComparisons with the Stone Roses should be put to bed, even if there#x27;s an obvious heritage. This is Brown#x27;s own work and it stands out.pWhilst he can#x27;t really claim it all to be "greatest hits", it#x27;s an excellent collection of mature alternative rock/pop. "My Star" still sounds fresh 8 years on, and "F.E.A.R." just makes my nerves tingle.pGo on! It#x27;s only a few quid on Amazon. You won#x27;t regret it...
Ian Brown's Greatest Hits - A momentous collection July 4, 2006

Momentous is a word that I use sparingly. But this collection simply is just that.....Momentous! Since buying this CD it has slowly made its way to the small, but priveliged, end section of my CD collection that consists of, in my opinion, the real classics (ironically he joins The Stone Roses among a few other legends).
br /
br /For anyone that is totally aware of Brown's work to someone who has never heard any of it. This is the real deal and a must for any CD collection.
br /
br /All his classic tracks are on board beginning with the wonderful and hypnotic 'My Star' following on with the beautiful 'Corpses in their mouths'. It then takes you on a journey right through to the dark and funky 'Return of the Fisherman'.
br /
br /But it's the middle section that leans towards momentous for me.
br /
br /The legendary "Dolphins were Monkeys", and the dark, brooding "Golden Gaze" are followed by the simply mind blowing "F.E.A.R." and the poetic beauty of "Whispers". Then the album sets new levels with argueably Brown's masterpiece "Keep what ya got" (the best Oasis track they never wrote).
br /
br /The album is also stitched together well with top tracks like "All Ablaze", "LongsightMI3" and "Love like a Fountain".
br /
br /I cannot speak highly enough of Brown and this collection. It is a must buy!!

We know know which one had the talent then! September 26, 2005

Just a quick review of Ian's new greatest hits compilation.pOver the course of his 4 solo albums Browny has undoubtedly grown as an artist in his own right. This album brings together some of his finest moments (and manages to miss one or two!)pHe is at his peak when he steers clear of the slightly jazzy mumbo-jumbo of his last album and instead focuses on the melody and drive of tunes such as FEAR, Be There, Dolphins Were Monkeys and My Star.pThat is not to say that his last offering did not deliver some killer tunes, represented here by the excellent Longsight, but with tunes as good as All Ablaze being produced the future those indeed look bright!pCan't wait to see him live again later in the year and already looking forward to the new album next year!

The title says it all get the ltd edition book cd and you really have got a gem not the greatest voice in the world but ian brown can write a tune and this album has the lot from his first few songs rough and raw " My Star, Cant see me "brTo micheal jackson covers " Billie jean, Thriller " to some decent remixes and his last few singles the greatest does exactly what it says.brsome top tunes a few covers and remixes, Buy this albumbrthe stone roses have gone but ian brown lives on and grows strong

Corpses in their mouths is different class, along with FEAR and All Ablaze. This album has some class tunes on and is well worth the purchase.
