This is of course a truly BRILLIANT compilation from Heart ! Very recommended ! The best songs, all remastered, how can you go wrong with this one ! SUPERB !

Disc 1 seems a hell of a lot more essential than the Top 40 wuss-a-thon on disc 2, but then I like to rock and stuff. To me, Heart will always be the band that put out Barracuda, Magic Man, Crazy On You, etc.

From: Knuckles Date: March 8, 2004 at 18:42
Just a quick comment.I agree with the rocker side of Heart as mentioned.Just to point out How can I refuse and Straight on are my personal fav.

About as good as a double retrospective could be - this has everything a casual listener could want (although the brilliant 'Lighter Touch' from Dog & Butterfly is absent).

From: Big Papa K Date: June 29, 2004 at 1:35
This is excellent how the discs are split up. Disc one is the rawer and more original Heart with some of their best rock songs. Disc two contains all the big hits from their comeback period, picking out all the classic AOR tunes from that time. 10/10

From: Nanteau Date: July 13, 2004 at 17:34
What's the missing song for me is BAD ANIMALS from the same titled album. By the way, can someone tell me about their new album "Jupiter's darling" --I really don't know what to think about it; this is not quite what I expected...

From: AOR freaky Date: July 13, 2004 at 17:47
Dear Nanteau : about the new Heart CD. It's a very difficult affair : some love it, others don't. Me, hmm. .. , I'm disappointed. It all depends what Heart you love most. The Heart from Barracuda etc. or the eighties Heart with songs as Never, If Looks Could Kill, What About Love etc. ? I prefer the Heart from the eighties and then their new one is a big disppointment. It's rather raw, acoustic and laid back. Forget the mainstream eighties AOR sound. If it that is what you want, pass on it !

From: TIM (2) Date: July 14, 2004 at 4:14
I agree with Freddy. I was never a big fan of the early stuff but even as an album in it's own right the new one is lacking some good hooks and melodies, and sounds very raw compared to their 80's stuff. This "Essential Heart" is the greatest hits to have if you want one. There are about 5 different 'best of..' albums doing the rounds, but this is bar far the most complete...

From: Federico Date: October 20, 2004 at 12:05
This band intoduce me to aor and hard rock, so I will always love them. This is a very good compilation. It's impossible include all their gems in 37 tracks. I am a big fan of the eighties stuff, so in my opinion the songs missing here are Sleep alone(wonderful),The night,You ain't so tough, the wolf. From their early days Cooked with fire,city is burning and High time. My favorite album is for sure the self titled.

From: Propane Date: December 2, 2004 at 19:44
Blue Charvel has it right. I am so disappointed with these girls.

From: Carlos A. Date: July 22, 2006 at 12:55
Preciosa recopilacion de esta aņeja banda, aca hay para todos los gustos : folk, rock, pop, AOR, Melodic Hardrock, vaya que estas chicas han experimentado con todo..., me impresiono bastante escuchar "You're The Voice" tema de The Alan Parsons Project magistralmente, que digo, excelentemente convertido al estilo Wilson 9.7/10
