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.

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?

This CD has all of Shania's best November 9, 2004

Shania Twain is one of the best female singers around. This CD has most of her hits. My favorite song is Man! I feel like a Woman. This song really rocks and gets me going. Another highlight track for me is the song That Don't Impress Me Much. I love the lyrics to this song very much, because I think what really matters is a person's personality and character and not what they have in terms of material possessions. I also like the song I'm Going Getcha You Good too from the smash album UP.
Shania Twain sings the best love songs. I especially enjoy the songs You're Still The One, and At This Moment. These are very beautiful songs that were big hits on both the country and pop charts. Shania's voice is heartfelt and sincere on her love songs. I think that is part of her huge appeal.
Shania sings a new duet entitled Party for Two with newcomer Billy Currington on this album. This is a very playful and flirty song that I loved. She also sings this song with Sugar Ray front man Mark McGrath. I enjoyed both versions of this song.
The song Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under is a real crowd pleaser at her concerts. It is a very lively song that gets the audience on their feet. This CD is an excellent greatest hits album. I recommend this CD to anyone who loves good music.

It's hard to believe that after 10 years and 4 albums it's already time for a greatest hits package from the greatest female entertainer of all-time. The only down side is that she has so many hits she can't fit all of them on the album.
Most of us know all her hit songs like "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under?," "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!," and "Forever And For Always," but what's great about this collection is that we get mixes either not available before or hard to find, like radio versions of "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!" and "(If You're Not In It For Love) I'm Outta Here!," and the pop/world mix of "That Don't Impress Me Much."
The collection icludes "Any Man Of Mine," the best country song of all-time, in my opinion, and "You're Still The One" and "From This Moment On," Shania's most famous ballads that are staples at weddings everywhere, without the spoken intros featured on the "Come On Over" album.
Finally, we get three brand new songs. There is a country and pop version of "Party For Two" with Billy Currington and Mark McGrath. I personally like the country version better but they're both great. "I Ain't No Quitter" is a fun, cheeky, twangy swing number that's probably the most country song she's ever done. Finally, the highlight of the new material is a very powerful and deep ballad titled "Don't!" This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time.
