Editorial Reviews

Entertainment Weekly
Adams' new restraint energizes this gently jangling material.

Album Description
Adams' 1998 studio album return put him back on solid ground on the charts in the US and became a best seller in Europe as well, spurred on the by the release of a Chicane remix of the single "Cloud #9" and the duet with Sporty Spice (Melanie C) "When You're Gone", a song that sounded very much like vintage Squeeze in style. This edition adds "Lie To Me", a song not on the US equivalent.

Simply Fantastic!!5
I have been a fan of Bryan Adams since he first blew onto the scene in the 80's. I can still remember blasting the album 'Reckless' on my boombox endlessly into the night. Sure it was pure pop, but it STILL rocks like no tommorow and nobody served it up better.

Flash forward to the late 90's, and Bryan quietly releases 'On A Day Like Today', which bombs commercially and vanishes off the charts without a whisper. It was a real shame, as most people missed out on one of the most refreshing, introspective, and melodic albums he has ever produced.

What defines this CD, was the level of maturity and strong songwriting. Bryan really set the bar high for himself on this disc and he doesn't disappoint. The album seamlessly blends a wonderful mixture of ballads, rock and roll, and mid tempo songs. Stand out tracks are 'Inside Out', 'If I Had You', and 'One A Day Like Today', 'Getaway', 'Before The Night Is Over', and the cream of the crop, 'Cloud Number Nine'.

Don't miss this overlooked treasure!

Simple words---its a mature bryan adams5
I have been listening to brayan since my college days...you know one of those high hormone times when you are fighting yourself :o) and your music is more about passion (or things similar) than any thing else.

Now what I am gonna say might surprise or even offend a lot of people but I think this is the most mature composition that ever came out of bryan. Its one of those CDs that you just pop in and listen to every song not just one or two tracks. I rate the CD based on Lyrics, Music and the effect both have and this collection is the first time perfect blend of bryans husky voice, great guitar and simple realistic lyrics. To some they may not invoke a lot of passion...but hey Pink floyds Wall was a big hit (infact my fav too) i dont think it had passion instead it had sense. This is some thing similar. Its a maturing bryan singing more realistic songs ... thats all... :o)

my suggestion is if you liked his other albums ...chances that you will like this one are high ...chances that you will find it passionate I would say would be 30(Y)-60(N)....I would say give it a shot see how he has changed in all these years....:o)

I am a huge Bryan Adams fan...have been for quite some time. There's just something about that husky, smoky voice of his that melts my heart when he sings, especially his ballads. Anyway, this, by far, is my favorite album of all his others. I honestly can say there isn't one song on this CD that I DON'T like, which is rare for me...I can always pick out at least three or four that I'm not real fond of. His "18 Til I Die" CD is also great, but there are a couple of tunes on it I could do without. This CD, however, is one I can crank up, put on continuous play, and listen to over and over again. I love it. One of my favorite tunes on here is "I'm A Liar." It's just such a fun, upbeat song. Also, "C'mon, C'mon, C'mon" is a smooth sounding song with a great melody. If faced with a choice between this and ANY other CD of Bryan Adams, go with this one...trust me on this. You'll come to adore it, just as I do. One day, I'll have to buy another one because I'll wear out the one I have from being played too much. But, for a second choice, definitely go with "18 Til I Die" or "So Far So Good;" either albums are great choices, too.
