    5.0 out of 5 stars How SWEET it is!
    Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    Finally had to get me some SWEET on CD after all these years. These Brits are one of my first musical memories as well as some of my very first purchases (the 'Action' and 'Lost Angels' 7" singles!). After going on a SWEET YouTube binge not too long ago I wanted to have these songs again.

    This comp is a good representation of the band as it includes all three phases - the early bubblegum stuff, their stellar glam/hard rock/proto metal era, and the more mature AOR years with and without Brian Connolly. Personally, I can do without the really early sticky sweet stuff, which is represented by 'Little Willy' and 'Wig Wam Bam' here, but everything else is pretty damn great. Even the 2 post-Connolly tracks, 'Mother Earth' and 'Sixties Man', are cool for what they are although they have very little in common with classic SWEET.

    That leaves 12 tracks of pure, essential SWEET in chronological order, from the pumping 'Blockbuster' to the chill of 'California Nights'. Really amazing how much great music these guys produced between '73 and '78 when they were one of the biggest hit bands on the planet, especially in Europe. 'Action', their magnum opus in my opinion (later covered by Def Leppard, Steve Stevens, Black 'N Blue, among others), is an absolute musical masterpiece - phenomenal songwriting, arrangement, trademark harmonized vocals and playing by all members (Mick, Steve and Andy were easily 3 of the best musicians on the scene in the 70's although they got virtually no credit for their musical prowess due to their often outrageous glam image). The mighty Queen, who were undoubtedly influenced by SWEET, had nothing on these guys!

    Other highlights include the brooding 'The Six Teens' (love Andy Scott's Blackmore-esque playing here!), the super infectious 'Fox on the Run', 'Lost Angels', an amazing heavy rocker (German power metal band Gamma Ray just did a smoking cover of this on their 2013 'Masters Of Confusion' EP!), the stomping 'The Lies In Your Eyes', and, of course, 'Love Is Like Oxygen' (single edit, not the full album version!), their last big hit and the beginning of the new, more 'sophisticated' SWEET.

    I miss a few deeper album cuts, especially the mindblowing 'Sweet F.A.' and 'Set Me Free', but hey - you can't have everything. Still, this is a nicely put together 'Best Of' - recommended to SWEET newbies looking to explore the band as well as nostalgic fans wanting to take a SWEET trip down memory lane.

    I was a teen in the 1980s but over the years have become more a fan of 1970s rock music.
    Sweet is about as seventies rock as you can get. I love this CD

    Due to changes in technology, one needs to boost the bass sound to get the music to sound like it should.

    I'm almost 65 years old. I bought this CD for the "Love is like oxygen" tune that kept playing in my head. So I finally did something about it. That's a very good song. For a total, there's 4 songs on this CD that I have not heard in a very long time. The rest I never heard at all. It's still worth the buy. Just by some of the lyrics, I think the artists that wrote these songs have a very good sense of humor. My kind of company.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty well timeless.....

    This is actually an amazing album! The music is 'sweet' and I totally enjoy it. If you are looking for a bit older music, or have a passion for collecting, this will be an amazing collection to get. I only really knew one song on it, 'Ballroom Blitz', but I have ordered some music before of artists that I liked and didn't know the spread of music and a greatest hits album is an excellent way to get a good spread of their talent. I would recommend this album because the music is timeless, really, you could have it when the songs were new, but the sound on this is perfect and as I said, it is pretty well timeless. I'm glad that I don't rule out music, GOOD music like this, becuase I don't know anymore of their music, or heard anything else! By the way, the pricing here is really good because I went to a couple of stores to look at this and find out how much it would be, in order to keep companies at least honest in their pricing, and I would have paid more for this album even though their shipping was free, I would always recommend that if you've got time! See ya!

    中学生の頃、ツェッペリンやクイーン等を一軍、スィートやストラップス、エンジェルとかは二軍と勝手に決めていました（ごめんなさい）。おこづかいから一軍優先でアルバム購入。一軍は買いそびれても今でも簡単に手に入れることができるけれど、二軍はたいへん！他の物をさがしているときに偶然スィートを発見！！お安い価格で手に入り大満足です。懐かしく、洋楽に夢中だった中学生時代を思い出します。車でガンガンかけまくってます。
