America's Best ! January 21, 2008
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

Some albums you love the first time you hear them and other's have to grow on you over repeated listenings.This was one of the former.The first time I heard it,it became my favorite album for a couple of months.Every song is a gem.Both of the hits are solid and there is simply no filler to be found."Old Man Took" and "Another Try" are my personal favorites,but,every song is worth a listen.Every person who likes America should own this CD.

"Melodiously Mesmerizing" December 2, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful

Take a very talented Dewey Bunnell, Gerry Beckley, Dan Peek and mix that with one of the top producers, George Martin and that could only equal sheer enrapture! "Miniature" gracefully introduces one of Bunnell's classic hits, "Tin Man" followed by Beckley's "Another Try" and who could forget Dan Peek's "Lonely People"?!!! The addition of orchestral arrangements to these cuts is simply enchanting!!! "Holiday" is possible one of "America's" best ever!!! No collection should be without this one!!! br /

A forgotten treasure from the 70s! July 24, 2006
9 out of 10 found this review helpful

This was legendary Beatles producer, Sir George Martin's first collaboration with America. America brought in Martin to handle production after the disappointing commercial performance of their third album, Hat Trick the previous year. This album was a big hit in the US in 1974, peaking at 3 on the Billboard album chart, sold a million copies, and has some of Martin's best production work! The album contains two of America's biggest hits, Tin Man and Lonely People, which still get airplay more than 30 years after their release. It also contains several album tracks that received significant airplay during the mid-70s including: Baby It's Up To You, and Another Try (both of which probably would have been top 40 hits had Warner Brothers had the good sense to release them as singles). Simply a solid performance by America and George Martin! It is a shame that it took so long for this to be released on CD in the US.

Another America gem May 27, 2006
17 out of 18 found this review helpful

With those fans who believe that the first 3 albums are their best, now comes this fourth effort and the first of several with the famous George Martin producing under contract for the boys. I just don't know what it would sound like without his touches, but you must admit that the songs would have probably still stood up with Martin because they are all wonderful and yet simple pop songs. Yes, there's lot of orchestral highlights here and in the next few albums but America was already going there anyway - especially since they were getting pretty sophisticated without Martin the previous year with "Hat Trick". br /After listening to the beautiful Martin-orchestrated, Beckley composition, "Miniature" leading right into Bunnell's mega-hit, "Tin Man", you will never listen to Tin Man again without this symphonic prelude ever again!br /Again, not a bad song on the album. It's wonderfully produced and performed. A real gem!
