The first song "What'd I Say" is popular enough to make the greatest hits CD and really has an infectious beat that quickly puts many people on air guitar.

The second track "If I Die" is a Vietnam protest song the likes of which are rare, unknown to the present generation. But it has a complex rhythm and compelling melody, easy to get caught up in this song too.

The third song "Seed" is a sleeper, but the strengths of it's rhythm during the long instrumental improv section again compel one to close one's eyes and crank up the volume...once you've heard the song a few times, you won't be able to keep the lyrics from springing out of your mouth spontaneously.

The fourth song "I just want to celebrate" is one of the few Rare Earth songs that became famous and recognizable to the top-40 crowd. Brilliant...'nough said.

The fifth song "Someone to Love" is a solid song, driven by a catchy rhythm, like most Rare Earth songs on this album. One of the weaker songs on the album, I still think it's great - quite enjoyable.

The sixth "Any Man Can Be a Fool" is one of those rare ballads with a haunting but catchy melodies. A highlight of the album, how this one missed the greatest hits collections can only be attributed to the dynamics of how small artists with small audiences often produce gems completely missed by the world. Could just as easily have been a smash hit...a quality song that lay unclaimed by the world at large.

The seventh song "Road" is a solid song with a typically solid rhythm...not a memorable melody, but sophisticated and catchy at the same time.

The eighth song "Under God's Light" seems an odd addition...what appears to be Christian music. But wait! It has that catchy Motown rhythm and sophisticated instrumentals that pull one's mind into tracking along with the excellent melody. The latter half of the song, at least, has the same level of musical excellence found in classic popular tunes of that age, and if not for fact that modern society segregates Christian music into the "music for other people" category, this could have been a popular top-40 tune as well. It's hard not to lose reputation, in some crowds, when recommending Christian music, but hey, the truth is, this is great music, so get over it. (amazon.com)
