Nice extra track selection

I don't love when the Deluxe Edition of a record comes out within the same year of an album's release, except when it's the same day & I can choose to purchase the expanded version of an album and not have to buy it twice. That being said, one of my favorite songs on this CD is one of the bonus tracks not on the original issue of the album, so I guess it was worth it.

Good Collection

I understand the need to re-record the biggest hits as they were released on another label, so won't disparage those tracks as they are good renderings of the most familiar of these songs. I could, however, have done without the live set disc 2. I personally didn't care for that selection of songs and would have been happy to pay less for a single disc set (and I don't say that often). Others will say just the opposite.

My Personal Favorite of their's yet

I know fans who have been with the band since before their breakthrough will disagree, but I think this is KOL's most solid record yet. The title cut alone is worth the price of admission.

Not bad

Generally speaking you know what you're going to get with a Michael Buble disc. This one's not full of surprises, other than the very out of place rap on Nobody But Me. However, getting the deluxe edition ensures you have a version of the song without the rap if that's your preference.
The Very Thought of You & My Baby Just Cares for Me are the standouts on this one.

Not the Album I'd start with if you are new to him
on October 1, 2016
Posted by: JohnB
from Plymouth, MI
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a huge fan, and while I don't disparage an artist for trying something a little different and growing, this album hasn't yet measured up to any of his previous releases. That being said, anything Amos does is still better than most of the other music out there, but start with Mission Bell if you are new to him, and then buy everything else. Side bar-one of my favorite tracks on Spirit is one of the Best Buy Exclusive tracks.

Better Than Expected

Verified Purchase:Yes
Let me start by saying I would buy a new CD from Sara regardless of whether it was a concept record, a regular pop record, or the soundtrack to a new musical-which it is. Musical soundtracks have the potential to be quite corny and tough to stomach out of of the theater, but this album works very well as an album no matter what the concept. Sara managed to avoid the corny and put together a very enjoyable listen and one that stands up to repeated listens, much like her regular albums.

I've purchased every one of Tori's albums since Little Earthquakes and I haven't been impressed in a long time. I continue to consider myself a fan and know the potential for greatness exists in any possible future release, but this isn't it.

I've been a fan of this band since the 80's, like most anyone who would buy this CD. I'm sad to say nothing stood out about this record.
