SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:33 Min.
Bryan Adams recorded this title track to lead off his same-named 1999 career retrospective album that mostly focuses on his 90’s output. Adams teamed up with frequenter collaborator Robert John “Mutt” Lange composing the tune.
REVIEW:
It should have been an ideal way to introduce Adams’ second career retrospective album. Adams musters a decent performance, as his lyrics will strike familiar chords with his fanbase. The song’s lackluster, synthesizer-like melody, however, is its hindrance – it drags in such a way that Adams’ vocals come off as simply half-hearted. As a result, “The Best of Me” is middling in comparison to Adams’ older works. This song is disappointingly among the album’s weakest efforts.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 5 Stars
