This is the first album I ever bought, thought it was great! I've even seen Bryan play at Isle of Wight.

Rating: - Waking up the Neighbours

'Waking Up the Neighbours' is the excellent album from Bryan Adams that first turned me onto his music. It has a great rock sound and whenever I listen to this album it takes me right back to my childhood. Due to being produced by Robert 'Mutt' Lange this album has a feel very reminiscent of Def leppard from the same time (also produced by Mutt) with similar backing vocals and guitar sound, no bad thing though. There are plenty of stand out tracks, from the softer 'Can't stop this thing we've started' to slightly rockier 'touch the hand', and of course the now anthemic (and slightly overplayed) '(Everything I do) I do it for you'. But all the tracks on this album sit together very well and provide a great overall sound. For a first try of Bryan Adams' albums you can't go far wrong in starting here and then once you're hooked explore his other top albums. At a great price on Amazon (2.98) at time of writing, you can't really go wrong in giving this a try.

This album was my introduction to the music of Canadian rocker Bryan Adams. I purchased it following the huge success of Everything I Do. Initially I was disappointed, for I had wanted more of the same - that is, I expected to find a CD full of ballads. There were indeed a few (such as the emotional Do I Have to Say the Words, the uplifting Thought I'd Died and Gone to Heaven and the reflective Vanishing) but on the whole, this album (already Adams' sixth, I was surprised to find out later) couldn't have been more different from what I was expecting.

Happily, the surprise turned out to be a pleasant one. Only a couple of plays later, I was humming (and even dancing!) along to the fast, loud and furious rhythms of such tracks as Not Guilty, House Arrest and Can't Stop this Thing we Started. There is not one filler on this CD - Adams has achieved the rare feat of releasing a meaty album, with every track a potential single.

On the strength of this album, I bought Adams' entire back catalogue and have collected future releases ever since. For me though, Waking Up the Neighbours remains to be his best effort and one that is never far away from my music player. I don't know about my neighbours, but it certainly woke me up!

Rating: - Patchy but still the last great album he recorded in my opinion

This isn't up there with Reckless and Into The Fire but it does have some classics and is the last real 'guitar' album before Everything I Do I Do It For You (the massive single from this very album) launched Bryan into the pop mainstream. From then on it was saccharin pop and meaningless chart fodder from the extremely talented Adams. Still, we have the memories.

Rating: - wow

this is by far the best album bryan has releasd (except maybe from unplugged) but it really has everything from essential party classics such as house arrest and is ya momma gonna miss ya, to the best ballard known everything i do (i do it for you). at such a price this thing is a freaking steal. although bryan has released other amazing albums such as 18 till i die and room servive this is top of the pile by a long way. I have been listening to bryan adams for as long as i can remember because my parents have always enjoyed it, they have seen him twice in concert and can't rate him enough. I am only 16 but thios really is something instaead of listening to some of the crap that comes out these days, i.e. arctic monkeys bung this in your stereo and let it blow your mind. If you have never listened to any of bryan's music, then you don't know what you are missing. Don't listen to the stick he gets from america and take it from me this is a must have album, buy it you will never get bored of it no matter how many times you listen to it.
