Description

Rather than swing or groove, Bachman-Turner Overdrive's brand of hard rock borders on heavy metal, plodding along with a big, thudding beat and simple, rhythmic guitar riffs, and featuring Randy Bachman's rough, throaty vocals.Two discs and 31 tracks are a lot of BTO, and probably too much for most casual listeners...the thing about BTO is that they didn't actually produce too many hidden gems, so almost all of their best songs (with the exception of "Gimme Your Money Please") can be found on the single-disc "Greatest Hits" CD.But if you do want more, this collection provides it. Not all thesemore… many album tracks are great, and some are simply pedestrian, but there is definitely some good stuff here, too. BTO's solid, guitar-heavy hard rock repertoire included hits like "Takin' Care Of Business", "Let It Ride", "Roll On Down The Highway", "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" and "Lookin' Out For #1", but lesser-known songs like "I'm In Love", "The Letter", "Hold Back The Water", "It's Over", "Take It Like A Man", and C.F. Turner's "Flat Broke Love" and "Heartache" are certainly worth a listen as well. The previously unreleased, 8½-minute heavy metal workout "Stayed Awake All Night" packs a good punch, too, as does the ten-minute live rendition of "Don't Get Yourself In Trouble".As usual, serious BTO fans will probably find that some or other worthy album track is missing, but "The Anthology" is actually a pretty good collection for fans of BTO who want a little more than just the hits.3 3/4 stars.
