2.25 stars- Just another hair-band

"Basically, Britny Fox is a one or two hit wonder. I bought their first self-titled album because I absolutely loved the song "Long Way to Love". The song "Girls School" was okay, but past those two tracks, they just didn't have game. I've never heard their second album but listened to all the 30 second samples (from the greatest hits cd) here on Amazon, and, basically those two songs I mentioned before are apparently the best that they have to offer. Either get the first album or the greatest hits to get "Long Way to Love". That's all you need from this mediocre hair-band. If you really want to listen to a good hair-band listen to the first three from the group EUROPE or anything from KINGDOM COME."

"The studio musicians and song doctors did a fantastic job cooking up "Girlschool". Unfortunately, the real band members played on and wrote the rest of the mid-tempo, repetitave, annoying, garbage on this album and it shows. The songs just ain't no damned good. Except Brittany Fox didn't write the Slade song "Goodbye Jane" or the Nazareth songs "Hair of the Dog" or "Dream On". But Brittany Fox makes these songs suck here anyway. When 3 of your 11 best of are other people's songs, this ain't a good sign. "Long Way to Love" is unbearably boring and just repeats the title a hundred times. And "Save the Weak"? The weak are the musicians in this lame excuse for a band. The Story? Singer Tom Kiefer in Cinderella was offered his record deal if he would fire his band and play with record label selected musicians. Brittany Fox are the people he FIRED. This drivel is unbearable and does not measure up to the magisty of the Girlschool song and video, which is the only reason this CD avoids getting zero stars."

Good Compilation from a Two Trick Pony

"The few people who still care about Britny Fox probably remember them as that band with the guys who weren't good enough to play in Cinderella, used frilly shirts and had a video on MTV with catholic school girls. That's kind of a shame, really, because much like Cinderella, they had a knack for putting out great AC/DC inspired hair metal party anthems every now and then, albeit they lacked the former's rootsy blues touch, gift for melody and songwriting talent. Although in my oppinion Britny Fox only released two really whorthwile songs during their less than illustrious career, Girlschool and Long Way to Love, the rest of the material presented on this disk is OK. If 80's hard rock's your cup of tea, you might like this, but be forewarned that even in their heyday, this was a mediocre, third tier hair metal band at best."
