One of the best pop music albums, ever........2007-05-17

Artists come and go and the Proclaimers certainly came and went, but in their wake they left this one treasure. This is beyond question one of the finest and coherent pop albums of all time with music, lyrics and harmonies that will deepen upon multiple listenings and which I expect will stand the test of time. Don't bother with any of their other albums but add this to your collection and just enjoy. I still can't believe that two boys from Fife can produce something so beautiful!

Amazing album.......2007-04-19

Though I couldn't get into any of their other albums, this one is truly great with songs that are timeless.

I love these guys........2007-03-12

How do you resist these two Scots. I'm crazy about their lyrics, their music, their accents. "500 Miles" is the coolest love song with all the emotion of the best love ballad set to a head-banging beat. Rockin', beer-slamming rhythms with clearly Celtic, folky, earthy overtones.

Fresh, Bright and wonderful!.......2006-07-12

If you like tight Harmony.. a sense of humor a UK/Rockabilly sort of style.. you will love this! Acoustic and bright these twin brothers make have a passionate push in the voice and a unique musical style that is irresistible...! And that Scottish accent.. Fascinating! Think Shrek!
I got the album for "500 miles".. and have to say.. the rest of the album is even better than the hit. A favorite.. "Oh Jean" funny and charming.. don't miss it! Take this CD on your next road trip and listen to the bouncing sounds as you drive.. The trip will fly !! I just love it!

5-star harmonies.......2005-11-07

Scottish twins Craig and Charlie Reid deliver an album's worth of great songs and beautiful harmonies. There's not a single clunker here. They perform in a variety of styles ranging from uptempo numbers like "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" and "Sean" to slow, lovely ballads like "My Old Friend the Blues." The earnest, soaring title track is another highlight.

Proclaimers Grate.......2003-05-30

A comment on a previous review (above): I believe the actual words are, "and make sure my words on your Saxon ears don't grate." It flows more poetically to the music than it may to read. In other words, he is sarcastically saying he wouldn't want his accent to offend his Saxon neighbors (or whichever individual he may have written the song about). It reminds me of the clip in the Beatles' Anthology where John is told by an interviewer that ?Harold Wilson? (I think) couldn't understand a word he said, to which John replies in a toffee-nosed upper-crust imitation accent something like, "I really don't know what he's on about. . . he won't get my vote!"

Three fantastic Proclaimers' albums (every last song a winner), but hear the proclaimers first before you buy to make sure you like 'em.

I'm just gonna have to learn to hesitate ............2001-05-27

..... to make sure my words only Saxon ears obey.

I had "This is the Story" on audiocassette for about three million years, before I could decipher that line (from "Throw the 'R' Away"). The closest I could come to a feasible guess was "to make sure my words don't assassinate your pate," the Scottish accent of the Caledonian clown being -- it was supposed -- so painfully bad that each phoneme rained upon the head of the listener like a torrent of lethal hammer-blows. But it is "Saxon ears obey" and not "assassinate your pate"....

Amazing Songs, Amazing Lyrics.......2001-03-01

Before buying these albums I only knew the song "I would walk 500 miles". While it's a good song the rest of the songs on these albums blow it away. The lyrics to the songs are fantastic and far more complex than you would guess. Sunshine on Leith and This is the Story are the better albums in this box set. Hit the Highway isn't bad but doesn't approach the other two in terms of quality. The Proclaimers are due to release a fourth album this July. I can't wait.
