5 out of 5 stars Barry McGuire: A Troubadour For our Times.......2006-03-03

My first experience of the voice of Barry McGuire came when I heard The New Christy Minstrel's "Green Green" on a small transistor radio and that gravel voice just exuded a "pentecostal joy"! I became an avid follower of The new Christy Minstrels from that day on.

The the inevitable happened as the talents contained within that "mini-minstrel chorus" began to expand beyond the limitations of that folk genre. Barry McGuire was one of the major talents to erupt out from that group with his solo album and conscience shaking hit single, "Eve Of Destruction".

Barry's exuberance remained but bubbled up with current social commentary and the awakening "self-awarness" of the new generation's new way of thinking and approaching the world.

Protest? . . . probably more a flagrant affirmation album! P.F. Sloane and Bob Dylan penned songs appear with the Mcguire delivery.

One track does mark this album as being very special however. Barry recorded one of the most moving and sensitive renderings of the song, "Try To Remember" ( from The Fantastiks). This cd is worth owning for that one track alone! No one has ever recorded this song any better or with more feeling for the poetic nostalgic longing lyric. And all of these years later, as Barry and the rest of us have all added on the years, this one Mcguire delivery holds even more respect and appreciation.

Thanks to Barry Mcguire for "all" of the music he has brought to us through every phase of his career and every incarnation . . . and for this "classic" album which STILL speaks to our world today: "Eve Of Destruction".

5 out of 5 stars The More Things Change, the More They Remain the Same.......2005-09-04

In 1965, Barry McGuire rocked the world with the profoundly topical "Eve of Destruction." The cutting edge lyrics and strong melody left indelible impressions on all who heard it.

In February of 2000, I saw Barry McGuire along with Roger McGuinn in concert and loved every minute of it. At the time of this review, the lyric "the eastern world, it is exploding...violence flaring, bullets loading" is eerily a propos. In listening to the history "you're old enough to kill, but not for voting," the difference in today's world is that since 1971 when the voting age was lowered to 18, one can think, "you're old enough to kill as well as voting" would "update" the song without compromising its powerful message.

A solid collection including a very nice cover of "The Sloop John B." I highly recommend this along with the Byrds, Turtles and Peter, Paul & Mary.

5 out of 5 stars Barry McGuire's Best.......2003-12-27

The star of this album Barry McGuire features his biggest hit
"The Eve of Destruction" on this CD.This album features other
songs but the mainstay of McGuire's singing fame was the "Eve of
Destruction".I was watching the local PBS station Channel 8 out
of Houston that had a special show about the hits of the 60's. I
was able to watch Barry McGuire perform "The Eve of Destruction"
on this show. You could not turn on your your radio during the
1960's without hearing this song.You had basically AM radio during this time.You could pick up KTSA from San Antonio or KLVI
from Beaumont. You always heard the song "The Eve of Destruction"
on these stations.I certainly enjoyed seeing Barry McGuire on the
PBS show.If you were raised on this song like I was buy this album or CD.

    Ok, first off, I'm not a kid, but I don't have an account on here.

    The Suicide Machines' On the Eve of Destruction is different than most of their other releases. It has a lot more punkier songs, like their newer efforts, and a little ska, which you could see on their older albums. It has different versions of some older songs put on Destruction By Definition (their best album by far), but most of it is from their older EPs, and unreleased stuff. The sound quality isn't that great, especially on the song 'Vans Dub' (the words are hardly able to be heard at all), but I like that, as it gives the feeling that the band is playing right in front of you.

    As for when to get this, I would definitly say do not get this one first. Get DBD or Battle Hymns first. Overall, this is a great way to see how this great band started, and any Suicide Machines fan should not pass this up at all.

        4 out of 5 stars Good CD, a taste of P.F. Sloan today (well sort of)!.......1999-10-26

        This is the newest release by 60s singer songwriter P.F. Sloan. This album is pretty good and is not a bad representation of what Sloan can do. However this album is very dated, not to the 1960s, but to the early 90s when it was originally recorded (1993). It didn't make its way to the US until 1997 however when Allthebest records picked it up. I am glad I finally got to hear the CD and most of the songs are great, but others sound too much like that period in music I didn't care for too much. I would recommend this for Sloan fans and anybody who wants a decent CD. I wish someone would release P.F.'s 1962 album "Raised on Records!" I would give that 5 stars! :)

          Songs like "Invincible", "Scent of a Sin," and "At War With War" show Eve of Destruction's metal and thrash roots. Songs like "Distorted Hearts," "Drowned in Misery," "Flow," and "Useless Pain" show Eve of Destruction's hard rock grunge style. "Flying" and "Memories of Yesterday" show the band's lighter side, acoustical yet upbeat. The song melodies are filled with vocal harmonies, and 80's style guitar solos.
