Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

2 out of 5 stars Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

3 out of 5 stars Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

4 out of 5 stars One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

    Product Description

    From high concept to one man band and finally , a full fledged rock & roll combo. Rainy Day Saints are whats happening! Main man Dave Swanson has surrounded himself with what they refer to in the music biz as top notch talent! The amount of hours, days, years these guys have under their collective belts is, well...its a lot. From the rave reviews and major airplay of the first album, "Saturdays Haze", the anticipation is high for new RDS and Diamond Star Highway delivers in full! From the jangly to the distorted, from the pretty to the raw, from the rocked out to the acoustic and from the earthbound to the outer space ...this new disc has it all. The influences are there, but theyre dressed up in their own way. Yeah its Pop....yeah its Powerful...yeah its Rock and yeah... It does Roll. So...take a ride on the Diamond Star Highway. There is no filler amongst the 11 tracks that compile the album with 9 outstanding originals and 2 covers: the best take! ever on the Dead Boys punk classic "Sonic Reducer", which they slow down making it a spooky haunting ballad and Falling James "Terminal Island". Its their happening and it freaks them out!

      A verstaile and creative singer who without sounding cluttered, Megon can give a Nashville twang to one song ("Blue Star Highway") a breezy, jazzy quality ("Never Just One Reason") to another, and still sing a lovely, restrained "Danny Boy" in the best Irish tradition.

                  Album Description

                  It's jolting. Listening to "Watching The Fight", the new record by Torque recording artist Blue Star Highway, front to back; the experience is otherwise hard to describe. One has to think hard for comparisons, yet it's a familiar sound. It's just not one heard much these days. Initially, one considers the likeness to Foo Fighters, but lead singer Jesse Worstell is a more varied, dynamic vocalist; maybe more along the lines of Rain Maida from Our Lady Peace. The twin guitar assault is melodic, quite similar to that of Pearl Jam. The sound from Worstell and lead guitarist Jon Crandall is bigger, though; heavier. Yet, all this is almost overshadowed by the rhythm section, the devastating weight delivered by drummer Jason Shrontz and bassist Joe Rife. Shrontz' sytle is reminescent of legendary Who drummer Keith Moon, but Rife's rock solid approach makes the sound seems to move faster, and hit harder. All delivered in a style that would make each Ramone proud.

                  I tried posting a review earlier but it doesn't look like it went threw so if there are two reviews on here from me I'm sorry.
                  I picked this cd up about three months ago and haven't taken it out of my car yet. Every song is killer. I've seen them live twice (they're playing all over the midwest(check them out at bluestarrocks.com)) and they really rip it up CHECK THEM OUT!!!!!

                  highly recomended
