Shania Twain--recluse, happily married, mother of one--has sold more than 40 million albums with flirty, hook-laden, beat-heavy, country-tinged pop that has all the subtlety of a musical wet T-shirt contest, yet is as irresistible as Swiss chocolate and Pringles. There are a few heartfelt, moon-in-June love ballads on this generous and long-awaited 20-song collection, which includes three new songs along with all the predictable chart-toppers and near-chart-toppers. But it's the mostly nonstop, uptempo booty-shakers--too often with garish overproduction and vapid lyrics--that, for the unconverted, tend to run together after a while. No doubt, this relentlessly upbeat retrospective will keep Twain's millions of fans jumping up and down on their sofas. --Bob Allen Recommended Contemporary Crossover

 For once a Greatest Hits album worth having February 5, 2005

I normally don't buy greatest hits albums from artists that I already own the albums for but I had to make an exception in this case. 20 different songs (there are 2 versions of Party For Two making the complete 21 song cd) is what I'd call a complete cd. Normally artists take their 10-12 biggest songs plus one new song and call it a greatest hits album. Amazingly enough a year or so later they put out a second greatest hits album that you have to pay another $15 for to have the complete hits collection. You have to respect Shania for giving us, the fans, a great value for our money. I would recommend this album to anyone interested in getting a Shania cd as every song is a gem. For those curious, both of the version of Party For Two are great. I won't try to describe them as I'll trip over myself. Whether or not you have all of Shania's albums or not, pick this one up as either way, you get what you pay for: all of her best songs in one place.

With nearly a decade of million-selling hits under her belt, Country music sensation Shania Twain has finally released a definitive 'Greatest Hits' disc.
Nearly all of Shania's biggest and best-known songs are included here featuring "Man, I Feel Like A Woman", "From This Moment On", "You're Still The One", "Any Man Of Mine", "Up" and "That Don't Impress Me Much".
Also included on the disc are three brand new tracks. The new hit "Party For Two" is presented in two versions. The first version is in a driving dance/rock style and features Shania duetting with Sugar Ray's Mark McGrath. The second version is in the more typical Shania country style and features Billy Currington duetting. The other two new tracks are the tender ballad "Don't" and the dirt-kicking country twang of "I Ain't No Quitter".
With all the hits that Shania Twain has had over the past decade, her "Greatest Hits" CD is a sure-fire winner. Every track on this disc brings back special memories and is full of upbeat liveliness. This is definitely one great collection from a very talented entertainer.
And of course, we cannot forget the songwriting and production talents of hubby Mutt Lange who brought this music to its full potential. This CD proves that the Twain/Lange collaboration is truly a winning combination.

Most greatest hits collections go in chronological order from oldest to newest. It's different how Shania's Greatest hits disc starts with those from her newest CD (UP!) and go backwards in her career to the Woman in Me days, and then wrapping up with the previously unreleased songs. This is a great CD to listen to out on my boat on a sunny day. I'm mostly a really big fan of the upbeat songs like "You Win My Love", "That Don't Impress Me Much", "Who's Bed Have Your Boots Been Under" and "Up", but no one sings a ballad quite like Shania, especially "Forever and Always" and "From This Moment". There's definitely not a weak song in the bunch, I like both versions of "Party for Two", it makes me wanna dance and sing. Excellent collection for sure
Great Hits collection, although missing quite a few. November 16, 2004

While I must say the entire album is 5 star material, I'm still feeling a bit odd having a Shania Greatest Hits album; afterall, whenever I've bought one of her albums, it always felt like a Greatest Hits compilation given the number of singles released + fan favorites not released. She truly is a great artist.
One note I must make is that while I had always hoped for a Hits cd, I was hoping it wouldn't come until after her next album. But instead, this one comes a bit early of that and on the downside, also fails to showcase any of her debut album, which I never had plans on buying in hopes that a GH album would showcase it. Afterall, the debut was always thought of as "obsolete" compared to the albums that followed and only worth the singles. Why aren't they here? "What Made You Say That" and "Dance With The One That Brought You" are only 2 tracks.
Nonetheless, the album is simply stunning and features 4 new tracks to go in addition to any fan's collection. "Party For Two" is possibly one of Shania's all-time greatest (although my favorite single by her, "When You Kiss Me," was ommitted..hmm...) and the other new tracks sound great as well.
And to those that say outside the 4 new tracks everything is what they already have on their albums: WRONG. The cd opens up with the POP RADIO MIX of "Forever And For Always," which is edited differently from any of its (3) album versions. Following it comes the video version of IGGG, which sounds somewhere inbetween the country & pop LP versions, but was never exactly released. Also not on her other albums are this albums versions of "That Don't Impress Me Much" and "From This Moment." "That Don't" comes in the form of a dance mix, while FTM comes in its SOLO (rather than duet) form, and rather than being in the pop mix of THAT that's found on the International Version, it comes with something different to the beat.
This album isn't exactly going to "steal your money" or make "all the other Shania albums obsolete" or anything, with it having 8 tracks that don't appear on her other albums, and it missing several of her singles. Megahits "She's Not Just A Pretty Face," "God Bless The Child," "You Got A Way," "Home Ain't Where His Heart Is (Anymore," and "Ka-Ching!" don't make any appearances here, and neither do the flop singles "When You Kiss Me," "It Only Hurts When I'm Breathing," or "Thank You Baby!". Buy it, you won't regret it.
If that doesn't help you make your decision, the artwork has lots of new pictures of her, PLUS the lyrics to every one of the songs included and a picture from each video with it. Oh, and did I mention it comes with a $5 coupon for the Scent Stories player?

Shania's Still the One December 17, 2004
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
Shania Twain has one of the best voices of any female singer today and this collection of Greatest Hits showcases it to the fullest. Some of my personal favorites are on this collection, including "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!", "Up!", "From This Moment", "You're Still The One", "Love Gets Me Every Time", "You Win My Love", and "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?". The new songs are not anything spectacular but are still pretty good. Although at first I didn't like it, the song "Party For Two" has grown on me and now it is one of my favorites. The version with Billy Currington is way better than the version with Mark McGrath. Not all of it is due to Mark's singing but Billy's singing plus the general sound of the "country" version make it a better version of the song.
Generally speaking, this is a great collection of songs but I do have two minor criticism about the cd. One, I can understand why the "single" versions of songs are usually the ones chosen to be put on hits collections and most of the ones on this cd are not too bad but the version of "(If Your're Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here", one of my favorite songs of Shania in its original version, on this cd has to be the worst edit of a song I have ever heard. It just sounds like nails on a blackboard to my ears every time I hear the abrupt edit at the end of of the song. Also, another of my favorite Shania songs, "When You Kiss Me", did not even make this collection but I guess since it wasn't a major hit I can't complain too much. Why it wasn't a major hit is a great mystery to me because I personally think it is the best song she's ever written but oh well. Other than my two complaints, this is still a great collection that I would recommend to anyone who likes a good blend of country and pop.
