Fantastic Band from the 80's Deserves Better Reviews
Cinderella was an incredible heavy metal band with a hint of the blues. Tom Keifer's singing stands up there with the best such as Brian Johnson of AC/DC and Steven Tyler of Aerosmith. How he gets his voice to make that harsh guttural sound is a mystery to me, but it definitely works. The musicianship of the other band members is excellent. The song writing is also top-notch. I saw Cinderella in concert with Bon Jovi a long time ago and they were one of the best live acts I've ever witnessed. There are some great songs that were not included on this compilation that could have replaced the weaker efforts such as 'Shelter Me' and 'Love's Got Me Doing Time,' but you can't have everything.
A decent hits album
The Millennium collections are pretty good discs with remastered sound. The edition for Cinderella, is a good example. Cinderella was one of the best 80's classic metal bands. They were influenced by Aerosmith, and it shows. The vocals sound very similer to the raspy singing of Nazareth. Blues and Zeppelin hard rock dominate the music. Like Great White, Cinderella was one 80's band that had musical talent, and that was the main attraction, not their looks.
"Glam" but Classic
While this is a collection of their best hit singles, there were a few that were missing, especially "Back Home Again", which to those who prefer the harder edge of Heavy Metal, the omission of this song is rather disappointing. However, the album does catch the essence of the band, who although presented itself as a Hard Rock band people labeled them as a Glam Rock band. Glamour and big hair was their signature look, but this was one of the few "Glam Rock" bands who actually had talent. Their bluesy-hard edge was a little ahead of their time, but all-in-all they earned the right to be called Classic.
