Customer Reviews:

not to great.......2007-04-04

We were disappointed with this CD, but for the price I guess we can't expect much. I didn't care for the new style presentation of the songs. I like a more traditional rendering.

Not so bad, 100 tunes for 4$.......2005-06-22

I red the comments of two other people who have bought this 4 CD BOX SET and it is not really so bad. I will even add that there are some excellent tunes. However, I must agree with the fact that few tunes seem to have been recorded 40 or 50 years ago, mainly when you hear the scratches of an old turntable but it is just 2 or 3 tunes. Furthermore, if you do not know American music, it is a good BOX SET to buy if you consider that you received 4 CD for 4$ including 100 tunes. On these 4 CD, I have heard some orchestration that I have never heard before and I consider that they are different but interesting. Any way, after hearing these 100 tunes, you will say to yourself that you like this tune, this other tune, this other tune and so on and you will be able to buy a more expensive CD with the tunes that you like. However, I have bought many CDs in the last few weeks and as you know, there are always some tunes that you like and some tunes that you do not like on every CD that you will buy. So, don't buy it at 25$ but at 4 or 5$ dollars, it is a very good choice for 100 tunes.

You get what you pay for........2004-07-04

You get what you pay for. The singers put their own spin on the singing of each song. If you didn't hear the words you would not recognize some of them. Even some of the music sounds like a bad recording of music played on a turntable. Definitely not worth the price.

Now I know why there were no song samples to listen to ..........2004-07-04

I wish this review had been here when I was thinking of purchasing it. I guess you get what you pay for. If you are thinking of buying this, you are better off recording your own CDs (or at least buying one that you can listen to a sampling of the songs). This album includes songs that were mere recordings of the songs playing on an old record player. It's almost so unbelievable that it is funny.

Within the first few cuts on their fifth release, Canada's Sloan again transcend the power-pop tag with a tune called "Iggy & Angus" that sounds more like "Itchycoo Park"-era Small Faces than either the Stooges or AC/DC, a Beach Boys-style epic ("Sinking Ships," which gives Navy Blues its title), and "She Says What She Means," a bazooka-rock stomper that recalls the best of Sweet. From those early highlights, the group continues its happily eclectic borrowing with a felicitous touch that puts the disc within shouting distance of plunderrific classics like Nick Lowe's Pure Pop for Now People and the Pooh Sticks's Great White Wonder. And their what-did-they-just-say? lyrics, which improve on the previous One Chord to Another's, push Navy Blues further into the realm of the gleefully subversive. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews:

went to get pretty together, got navy blues instead, not mad.......2004-07-29

This is a really really good album. I like action pact more but maybe thats just because ive listened to it more.You can tell the guys of sloan enjoy playing music when you listen to this album. Some of my favorite tracks include: she says what she means, iggy & angus, money city maniacs, chester the molester, and cmon cmon.

What side of the Sloan street do you stand?.......2002-04-04

If you are interested in Sloan and are looking for a body of work to try-out I would like to offer up "Navy Blues" as your inital outing. There are rabid Sloan fans out there who all fight tooth and nail over which Sloan album is the best. Some say "Twice Removed" which I rank as their 2nd best and some say "Between the Bridges" which I feel has little cohesion and ultimately fails as a "Long Player" which is also how I feel about their latest offering, "Pretty Together". That's why I feel so strongly towards this album. It works as a whole work where the sum parts smoothly create the whole. This is a buzzy late 70's California driving bubblegum fm radio album. From the very first guitar lick of "She Says What She Means" to the closing bars of "I'm Not Through With You Yet" this is feel good music at it's core. it has humor and heart and clever arrangements that homage it's inspirations and imbibes with originality. Track 1 is my absolute favorite mix cd track. I always get comments about that track. I don't know how true popularity eluded dear Sloan during the release of this album but it did. The world isn't ready for these prime time players. This is a strong album all in all but if I must highlight the standout tracks...
1. She Says What She Means
2. C'mon C'mon(We're Gonna Get It Started)
3. Iggy & Angus
6. Money City Maniacs
9. Stand By Me, Yea
12. I Wanna Thank You
I really love them all, but if you are looking for songs to sample...try these.

Modern Beatles!.......2001-12-06

Everyone who is around when this cd is on says "is that the beatles?". This is an excellent cd by the canadian 4-some. It's like the beatles meets the rolling stones meets elvis costello. Also, if you're into geek rock, most geek rockers love them.

Sloan at their very best !!.......2001-01-10

Sloan's "Between The Bridges" is probably their most immediate album but "Navy Blues" grows on you until you cannot help listening to it.It probably represents Sloan at their most rocking.The album opens with a real killer track "She says what she means" which contains a middle bridge which sound like a cross between Def Leppard and AC/DC.It really is one of the most heartstopping moments on the album.The second song "C'mon C'mon" is a lot more lighthearted but contains a tack piano reminiscent of 70's bands like Sailor."Iggy and Angus" is pure old fashioned rock a la Slade."Money City Maniacs" opens with a flurry of police sirens which set the scene for a frantic,heads-down rocker which is very catchy.The quality control rarely dips over the rest of the album either and there are numerous clever,catchy songs to follow. In all, this takes a while to get into but after a few repeated listens it becomes apparent that there are few bands who can match Sloan over this terrain.If brilliant guitar chops, marvellous harmonies and pop ingenue are what you are after,this is the place for you.My only advice is invest in a good quality CD player with a decent treble bass and crank up the volume if you want to do this wonderful piece of work any justice!

Most Underrated yet Inspired album of 1998.......2000-12-09

Navy Blues is a classic Canadian album fusing many styles together. This album almost depresses me because it has unrealized potential, especially in Britian. Fortuantely, for people who have heard Navy Blues, we are a privileged bunch.

The first single "Money City Maniacs" is a powerful song with a chorus that is catchier than the common cold and harder to cure. One listen and you will be hooked on Sloans sound. Another definite stadout track is the Beatles esque "C'mon, C'mon, were gonna get it started" which would have easily been a huge hit back in the sixties, yet Sloan is able to revive that sound and make it fresh. The second single "She says what she means" which also begins the album has an infectuous rock sound to it.

There are no stale tracks on Navy Blues. Some albums are only good for one or two songs, other albums are good all the way through because they are conceptual. Navy Blues can serve both voids. Make an investment on Navy Blues, and pump the stereo loud, and be proud you are one of the few who are priveliged enough to experience the most inspired band in Canada and beyond.
