Product Description
From Amazon.com
Warrant is a schizophrenic band, a condition illustrated by this 16-song "hits" collection. The Los Angeles-based lineup's 1989 debut, Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich, featured such metal-lite delights as "32 Pennies," the title track, the insipid, self-referential trademark hit "Down Boys," the sappy power ballad "Heaven," the lascivious "Cherry Pie," and "Sometimes She Cries," all of which appear on this best-of. But by 1992's Dog Eat Dog, Warrant had gone heavier and grungier, befitting the musical climate of the era. Consequently, the quintet lost fans who perceived the group as bandwagon jumpers; actually, they do a decent job with heavier songs such as "Machine Gun" and "Hole in My Wall." Proving that singer Jani Lane and pals could be tender and memorable without being cheesy are the gutsy, bluesy "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and the beautiful "I Saw Red." Their cover of Queen's "We Will Rock You," on the other hand, almost manages to sap the song's inherent monster groove. While Warrant's move from image-conscious pop-metal to a heavier sound was awkward in execution, fans of either of the band's phases--and those who like both--will dig this diverse disc. --Katherine Turman

This collection is "Heaven".,

This review is from: Swing It Best Of (Audio CD)
Listening to this disc, I wonder why "Warrant" didn't get quite as big as some of their peers. Whether it's metal anthems, or ballads, this is loaded with great songs from that era. It's almost impossible not to bang your head, or air-guitar to "Down Boys" and "Cherry Pie". Plus, "Heaven" and "Sometimes She Cries" are just classic hair songs. They also started to get a little rootsy, and less glam on songs like "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "Bed Of Roses". I think they could have done a better cover than "We Will Rock You", but at least it's listenable. Overall, a must for your "hair" collection. It'll go great with your "Cinderella" and "Poison" cd's.

All the old favorites,
By Jill Clemmons (Valdosta, Georgia USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Swing It Best Of (Audio CD)
This cd has all of the songs you know/love from Warrant in their original recordings. Personally, I like "Latest & Greatest" by Warrant better (many of the same songs, but re-recorded and better than ever), but if you like Warrant, this is how you're used to hearing these songs!
