CD Reviews

TNT's best work?
Tor Idar Larsen | Norway | 12/12/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"A CD packed with TNT's greatest hits from their debut album up to 92's Realized Fantasies. "Harley Davidson" with their first singer Dag Ingebrigtsen opens the CD followed by "Eddie", a song I never really liked. TNT explodes when US kid Tony Harnell replaces Ingebrigtsen and they release Knights of the new thunder, which still today (with an exception of the sometimes bad lyrics - thats okay Tony, you did your best with em!) really shines. Seven Seas is a powerfull song that stands the test of time. My fave howewer is "Break the ice". When I saw TNT live this summer, this song really was the highlight, to my surprise.Songs from 87's Tell no Tales follows and TNT have matured but still releases a fantastic set of songs, howewer some of them falls into the category of being very 80's. Ill leave it to you to decide if thats good or not. "Everyones a star" is still one of the most energetic songs Ive ever heard.The more pop sounding Intution (1989) have some real catchy tunes, such as the title track of the record. The intro still rocks just as much as it did in 89. "Downhill Racer" from Realized Fantasies is the last track from the "old era" of TNT. It makes you wonder why they let in tracks like "Eddie" and left out a song like "Lionheart", one of the best ballads TNT has ever done.But now comes my only big question mark. As a big fan of the 1997 release "Firefly" and 99's "Transistor", I feel this aint the whole story of TNT, as these two albums, yet a bit experimental, truly belongs on the Big Bang album. To leave out a masterpieces such as "Month of Sundays", "Just like God" and "No Guarantees" are simply a crime to humanity. Leave out a couple of the 80's songs, and add room to some of the 90's material!Luckily, we get 2 brand new songs and a bonus track from the Tell no Tales era. Im tempted to say that "Satelite" and "Hey Love" are the best songs on this CD, but Im settling for "among the top 5 songs on this CD. It shows that TNT still has a lot to give, and maybe even got its new prime to look forward too. Ronni Le Tekro's fantastic guitar skills shines all through this Greatest Hits package. Combined with the talents of singer Tony Harnell, TNT still attracts a big crowd today. Im having no problems seeing why."
