The Guess Who always seemed a bit like the Canadian predecessor/counterpart to
Grand Funk Railroad, but they typically fared far better with the critics because of the versatility that they possessed. That trait is very evident on this collection of hits and great songs. From the opening
"These Eyes," with its orchestral strings and
Zombies-like baroque pop feel to the classic AOR crunge of
"American Woman," the Guess Who played a wide variety of music. It is sometimes hard to believe that the same group that brought the world the jazzy
"Undun" and the
CS&N-ish hippie anthem
"Share the Land" is also responsible for the rocking
"No Time." This 11-track collection paints a very entertaining picture of a mutli-talented band and is a perfect introduction for the casual fan. [The 2005 reissue addds three bonus tracks taken from 1971 recordings.]
