I can understand Shania's younger fans being disappointed when they play this album expecting it to be more of the same following her previous four...

I, on the other hand, am 45 years old and have no qualms over admitting to being a bit of a head banger (still...). The first LP (vinyl) I ever bought was Deep Purple's 'Made in Japan' (I also have most everything they've ever done since, in all their various guises) so this album is right up my street.

Blokes my age have a 'thing' about raunchy, leather-clad rock-chicks belting out some good hard driving numbers - Joan Jett, Pat Benatar, Girlschool, Cher of course... So to think of a young Shania up on stage giving it what she's got with these works for me.

For the serious fan this a must as it showcases perfectly the talent she had developed during her formative years. Her later albums produced by Mutt have toned down her vocals, as you tell if you compare her album tracks with the live performance CDs/DVDs. She has a very powerful voice with which she can belt out a number seemingly effortlessly, to great effect.

If you see her performing her songs from 'UP!' (International versions) live, with their hard driving guitar riffs and prominent drum breaks, it's obvious this is where her heart lies. I like it, and I've given it 4**** in context, so...

DON'T buy this if you don't like this genre of music, cos if you do you'll hate it (see some of the other reviews)

DO buy it if you're over a certain age, and enjoyed this genre in the '80s and have become a Shania fan since. You won't be disappointed...

I only recommend this cd for hardcore Shania fans as it's a 80's rock album. I think its a great album but not Shania's best. Again hardcore Shania fans only (like me)

This is very different from Shania's other music. But I think its good none the less. Not usually up my alley but this one is pretty good. I love Shania's music so of course I wanted this one. This was actually a gift to me. Good album over all. I'm 16 btw and I still enjoy this album! However I reccomend listening to this album first before buying it.

This is a great CD, one of a great cluster that i have listened too. Delivery and sale were good and I would be happy to deal with the seller again, as well as buy other Shania Twain CD's. She is an excellent performer and singer!

This album is made up of demo songs Shania recorded when she was younger. I think most of them were made in the late 80's, and the music reflects that time period. It's definitely more of a rock album. I didn't really hear any hints of country at all. The sound isn't as clear as it might be, but it's still an interesting addition to your CD collection if you like Shania or female rock from the 80's like Scandal or Heart.
