The set celebrates 25 years of Adams's catchy anthems and power ballads, dating back to 1980's jaunty, youthful "Remember." Adams, of course, hit a real stride with his mid-80s albums, and plenty of the tunes from those discs are here, including the hard-rocking "Cuts Like a Knife," the urgent "Run to You," and the charmingly nostalgic "Summer of '69." In addition to his later soundtrack hits, ANTHOLOGY also offers up the best moments from Adams's '90s/'00s output (some recorded live), easily making this the finest Adams retrospective on the market. |
