Amazon.co.uk Review
So Far So Good offers up 13 of his previous hits plus a new song, "Please Forgive Me", a gooey, Michael Bolton-like ballad. The album starts out with "Summer of 69", the appealing autobiographical song about the 10-year-old Adams learning to play his first guitar in Ontario, and includes "(Everything I Do) I Do for You", the synth-laced ballad that wound up in the Guinness Book of World Records after topping the British singles charts for 16 weeks. With its over-the-top, gravelly vocals, So Far So Good reminds one of Rod Stewart's 1980s work when he was coasting on past achievements. Unfortunately, Adams has never had a period like Stewart's glory years in the 1970s. --Geoffrey Himes
CD Description
By 1993, when Bryan Adams released his first collection of greatest hits, he had enjoyed 12 years in the music businessduring a span that had seen hot trends like new wave and late '80s hair metal fall by the wayside. Adams managed to stay popular by sticking with an ear-pleasing brand of rock & roll that veered between edgy, bar-band style riff rock to more earnest, American-style roots rock in the tradition of Bruce Springsteen and Bob Seger.
SO FAR SO GOOD gathers allthe essential Adams tracks from his hugely popular '80s albums. This set of melodic rockers, including "Run to You", "This Time" "Kids Wanna Rock", and "Summer of '69" will be familiar to anyone who was near an FM radio during the era. Adams is a likeable rebel, a tough and tender troubadour singing songs that may not have been taken seriously by rock critics, but which nevertheless had resonance for millions of people around the world. Between ballads like "Heaven" and "Everything I Do (I Do it for You") and the chest-thumping frat-guy rock of "Somebody", this set shows the immense range of one of Canada's most popular musicians.
