Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: remember this? Comment: I was lucky enough to be exposed to many different types of music growing up. My dad was into the harder rock while my mom was into softer rock. This is the ultimate soft rock/ballad album. After many years of not being able to even find this album, it didn't fail to make me smile as I remembered every one of the songs. It was amazing and I still remembered all the words! The song, Diary, still brings back the mellow memories. Customer Rating: Summary: Best of Bread Comment: I was very pleased with the product that I ordered. It came very quickly and in perfect condition. The CD itself is good with several songs that I remember from years past. Customer Rating: Summary: The Best of Bread Comment: I like most of the songs on this album I would recommend it for people who love romantic songs. Customer Rating: Summary: The Best of Bread. Comment: Originally this CD was on two different LPs back in the day. It was a good move on the label's part to make a single disc reissue. Bread was one of the kings of soft-rock in the 70s but they were capable of rocking it up at times. The only albums I ever owned by them were their two best of compilations that are combined here. I was never able to listen to albums comprised of almost entire soft-rock; they bored me. But the hit singles by Bread were incredible. David Gates was a master of the ballad form, he was a great lyricist who was able to express old ideas in new ways. Great songs included here are "Make It With You", "Everything I Own", "Diary", "It Don't Matter to Me", "If" (one of the greatest songs ever), "Mother Freedom" (yes, they could rock), "Let Your Love Go", "Aubrey" & "Lost Without Your Love". There were other members that composed songs for Bread & some are included here but they didn't write on the same level of David Gates. They weren't the greatest of musicians, with the exception of Larry Knetchel on keyboards, which is why their limitations became so apparent on their harder rocking compositions. There's some filler here but this is everything the casual fan of Bread will ever need. Customer Rating: Summary: Classic 70s Comment: I grew up listening to Bread, so my recommendation is not exactly unbiased--this album brings back so many memories from childhood & reminded me what a great songwriter David Gates was! :) More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: If they are to believed, David Gates and the other members of Bread never intended to become the enduring icons of a subgenre they virtually invented: soft rock. Indeed, scattered throughout this expanded edition of a perennial bestselling catalog album are tuneful evidence of their original intent, as one band mate said, "to make the '60s last a little longer." But it's the familiar, largely Gates-penned and -sung hit singles that remain the band's legacy, from "Make It with You" through the reunited band's last hurrah, "Lost Without Your Love." Though they've become oft-mocked clichés, these are singles informed with a rare, often complex melodic sense, delivered with a deceptively breezy tone by one of pop's purest tenors. Gates and Bread clearly colored artists as diverse as '80s MOR icon Christopher Cross and nouveau singer-songwriter David Mead. --Jerry McCulley
