This should be an essential addition to anyone's gothic rock collection. While not as "hardcore" as some of Nightwish's songs, I think this album is more accessible to a wider range of people and a great introduction for anyone new to Within Temptation's music (I got this album after buying their latest album, The Heart Of Everything).

Every song is distinctive and none are forgettable; their tunes stay in your head and endlessly repeat themselves and make you want to constantly listen to them. The singer is skillful and in perfect control of her own voice; the music is - for want of a better phrase - plain awesome!

I first found out about Within Temptation when they joined Road Runner Records and after purchasing The Silent Force i thought id investigate some of the older albums. With the Silent Force it was a little heavier then this album which is ok cause this way it showed that they just kept evolving with the present day music BUT if you want to hear Within Temptation on a mellow-level lower and smoother then their current albums "The Silent Force" + "The Heart Of Everything" then it would be worth checking out how Within Temptation sounded a long time back. My favourite song on here would have to be Mother Earth cause it was soooo smoothing and relaxing for me and to almost here a story about mother nature through a song is a rare thing in music these days ...

I only recently got into WT after seeing them support Iron Maiden at Twickenham and this was the first album I bought. It is quite simply brilliant. Comparisoms with Evenescence are unwarrented as WT are in a different league. This album is an excellent place to start but the earlier ones are brilliant as well (especially Mother Earth). the music also transcends the generations as all my 3 teenage boys have become WT fans as well has many of their freinds at school. Buy this album if you have any interest in melodic rock - you won't be disappointed.

The Temptations were one of Motowns hottest and most versatile acts. They began their career as The Primes, singing on street corners in the ghetto areas for blacks in Detroit with Diana Ross And The Supremes (then known as their sister group, The Primettes). After signing to Motown in 1961, they took a seperate road from The Supremes and before long, were pumping out to what would amount too, an endless river of classics.

In early 1964, the dynamic David Ruffin took over as lead vocalist of the group and immediatley gave them their own unique, identifiable sound, much in the way that Diana Ross had with The Supremes. Their first major hit would be produced by the genius, Smokey Robinson, who wrote and assembled the fantastic and highly infectious, ... Read More:

Not exactly 'Classic Soul Hits'. A better name would be 'Some classic soul hits and a load of over-produced re-recordings of classic soul hits.' But that wouldn't have fitted on the cover.
It's a shame I didn't know this before I bought it. If you think you're getting the originals, think again. A few originals are thrown in but the 2006 versions of the other tracks are not worth listening to as they sound contrived and a poor imitation of the originals. Also, some of the songs just go on and on and are excrutiatingly painful to listen to.
I think the 2CD set 'Gold' will be a better purchase than this badly packaged thrown together waste of space. The sound quality is good though and that's what the 1 star is for.

I have searched for many good symphonic, and gothic metal bands, but have never found one better than Within Temptation.

This being their first and most original album. 'Tis a shame, as some have stated, that WT decided to can the death growls, but they are extremely common among goth metal music. In fact, they don't even need to use them. And the last thing WT is that they are commercialised.

This album has some very unique songs, each with a very different mood and emotion to it. Say, Pearls of Light is a blissful song. And Deep Within on the other hand is aggressive and angry but also calm in it's pulse. I would definitely recommend this!

This album does exactly what is says on the tin - its funky, rock tinged Psychedelic soul at its best!

After a decade of mostly romantic smoochy songs, often written by Smokey Robinson, the Temps entered the 1970s with a bang!

Norman Whitfield took over the reins & tapped into the hippy & black power emotions running high at the time & the Temps turned out some of their very best work.

The lead singer for many of these hits was Dennis Edwards, who's voice was better suited to the more political lyrics than it was to earlier Temps hits such as "Just My Imagination"

This album contains most of the Temps best work in this field & for under £3 is an absolute bargain!
