Customer Reviews Very tasty.. All very raw and I like it. This isn't anything new but what they with the song felt like you were with them recording the songs. Superb! A Must have! Improved recording. Wonderful songs. Amazing electric guitar work by Jeff Wattson and Brad. Night Ranger....with a 21st-century flavor Well. Ever wonder what Night Ranger's best songs would sound like if they were written today with today's technology. . here's your chance. . . Night Ranger's "Hits, Acoustic and Rarities" does contain the hits that we all grew up enjoying in the 80s, except they are not the hits we know. Huh? The hits were re-recorded in the studio with today's technology and they sound a bit different. They are not bad but they don't have that sound that made them great in the 80s. The songs that came over pretty well (in my opinion) were: - You Can Still (Rock In America) - Don't Tell Me You Love Me - Sister Christian - When You Close Your Eyes The other 5 that were re-recorded are OK but nothing spectacular. And the remaining 2 are an acoustic version of "Sister Christian" and a live version of "Don't Tell Me You Love Me". It would have been preferable to have these 2 tracks replaced by possibly 2 new releases and thus have the album simply called "Hits". Ultimately, if you're a Night Ranger fan, the album is worth picking up, simply for the 4 good recordings. If you're not a fan but want to learn what Night Ranger is all about, avoid this and pick up "Night Ranger's Greatest Hits" which includes the original recordings of these songs as well as some of their other hits, like "The Secret Of My Success", among others. Hoepfully, the band will release a true "hits and rarities" set in the near future that will encompass their entire body of work. . .
