About Howard Jones - The Best of Howard Jones

This is the only Howard Jones album you'll ever need. HoJo was a founder of early '80s synth-pop, which was as easy to sing to as it was to dance to. The rhythms on this record pop like new wave corn kernels in heated oil, tempered by Jones's high-strung vocals extending over the top. Jones makes good use of the bright synth piano patches available during that time, especially during "Things Can Only Get Better." "No One Is to Blame" is a solid ballad, just Jones and his keyboard. It's heartfelt and regretful--a little cheesy, but in a good way. --Beth Bessmer Amazon.com

Great cd. It captures the 80s generation totally! "I'd like to get to know you well" is one of my favorite songs and can be found in "Better Off Dead". It's playing in the background as he's fixing his car. LOVE JOHN CUSACK! May 2, 2008

To be honest, I was only familiar with a couple of Howard's songs, but I thoroughly enjoyed this album, including his version of Steely Dan's "What a Beautiful World." Yay, Howard! November 12, 2007

Good Synth-Pop from England in the guise of Howard Jones. My favorites on this collection: "What is Love," "Things can only get better," and "City Song." Five stars for this collection! June 2, 2007
