Slick 80s Music
I've always been a fan of the 2 main hits people would know Mr Mister for but decided I needed to hear whether they had anything else good. Based upon what other people had said about the band, I was sure I wouldn't be disappointed and yes, the rest of the album takes you right back to the days of the 80s. It's actually a great read through the album information too so worth it just from the perspective...
Itunes has the hits
Broken Wings and Kyrie are on Itunes. I don't have a reason to buy the other songs on this CD.
Fabulous
I really love this compilation of Mr. Mister, all the songs are great, have good rhythm and harmony and are fun songs to listen to. It takes me back to the 80's and I also feel that Mr. Mister is very underrated they were one of the best groups of the 80's. My personal favorite has always been "Broken Wings", but really I love all of the songs on this disc, they all make me feel really good.
A pleasure through and through. Upbeat and tuneful.
OK, I'll admit it. The only song I remember hearing by Mr. Mister is their wonderful single, "Broken Wings." But now I have this collection and I'll say emphatically that far from being a one-song group, they have a breadth of style and a depth of harmonic and melodic skills that let them come up with this bunch of songs that'll make you tap your fingers, rock your head, or maybe even dance. These songs will certainly make you smile, help relieve your cares and lift your spirits. Dare I say it, this music will make you feel good. It's got a relentless surge of optimism and romance, and a heck of a good beat. This is a gifted group, and their music is a treasure.
What a band!
As far as I can tell these guys are as clean as a whistle, meaningful and morally correct lyrics along with stellar musicianship and production. These guys had a sound all their own that was both entertaining AND thought provoking, if only they would make a comeback!
