1 out of 5 stars Haven't had a great album since Moontan.......2005-05-24

I must admit that I have only heard Bloody Buccaneers. I don't know if Face It is as bad. But, I have bought so many bad Golden Earing albums, that I don't want to chance it again. (But, there are some good Golden Earings albums avialable.)

Released in 1991, Bloody Buccaneers is something like Golden Earing's 22nd studio album. It is the worst one I have heard. I must admit that I have only heard around 15 albums by the group, and they might have at least 40 different albums.

On this album, it is as if Golden Earing is copying the music of the times in search of a hit album. They sound like the bad corporate rock idols of the late eighties and early nineties: Bryan Adams, John Cougar Melloncamp and Bon Jovi, only not as good.

Golden Earing is a Dutch group that is almost as old as the Rolling Stones. They were originally called the Golden Earings. They started playing doo-wop and pop. They switched to psychodelic. One album includes an 18 minute version of the Byrd's Eight Miles High. They moved on to driving hard rock.

Golden Earing hit it big with Radar Love. It is a great rock anthem. But, it isn't even the best song on the album it came from, Moontan. Moontan is simply a fantastic album throughout. Golden Earing woudn't come close to this album again. Thier next albums were fairly plain.

They were destined to become a one hit wonder, but then had a second surprise hit with Twilight Zone. It had the same type of driving beat that made Radar Love so popular.

Golden Earing does have two good live albums. The first is simply called live and was released in 1977. The second is from 1993 and called Naked Truth. It is one of those unplugged acoustic albums.

If you like the old corporate rock, or some of today's rock bands Queens of the Stone Age or System Down, then you might like this CD.

5 out of 5 stars What a deal!!.......2004-01-31

Bloody Buccaneers is the best album they ever made, with a total of ten terrific songs. Face It is a decent album, but it can't stand up to Bloody Buccaneers. Face It contains one slow western love song titled "I Can't Do Without Your Kiss" a fast paced rocker titled "Maximum Make Up" and includes couple of duds, "Angel" and "Liquid Soul." Bloody Buccaneers is a MUST OWN with the sexy rocker, "Making Love To Yourself" (the lyrics are not sick or explicit as the name would imply), the slow but emotional power ballad dedicated to lead singer Barry Hay's deceased friend, "Going To The Run", which contains an 80's sound, the soothing and peaceful "Pouring My Heart Out Again" and "When Love Turns To Pain", the fast paced rockers "Planet Blue" and "Joe", and the emotional rocker with a modern, rough sound, "In A Bad Mood".

Overall, Bloody Buccaneers is a fantastic album, and Face It hovers around average. But, a lot of people have enjoyed Face It, and you can get these two much-loved albums for the price of one. Don't miss out. If you want to get into GE, start with this package and stay away from Contraband and Paradise In Distress until you get into them.

4 out of 5 stars Looky here , what a package,what a deal........2002-08-26

Bloody Buccaneers is a very good cd,and Face It is a great cd,for the price of one.Nice.Temporary Madness is the most hypnotic song since the Moontan days.Rest of Buccs is a solid effort.Face It is pure rock'n roll Earring style,without a weak track,with Legalize Telepathy being the stellar track of this one.If you kind of like GE but have not got any in a while due to not knowing what to get,this is a very solid package.They are definitely on a roll here.
