4 out of 5 stars Prog Pop.......2002-09-06

An interesting CD, no doubt. I'd heard for years of the legend of Klaatu, but hadn't heard any of their music. I picked this one up in the local music store, and was eager to hear what it sounded like. Hmmmm...it's too poppy (for the most part) to be considered prog rock, so how 'bout prog pop. If you took the Alan Parsons Project, the Buggles, and Badfinger and put them all in a studio, you might wind up with this CD. There are some excellent songs, a couple of so-so songs and one really wretched song (Love of a Woman, it sounds like the Atlanta Rhythm Section or something). A couple of songs sound quite like later Badfinger (Knee Deep in Love and Dear Christine)and some of them are spacey pop songs. There's even a kinda Bachman-Turner Overdrive-ish song, True Life Hero. The CD is a pretty good sampler on the whole but kind of uneven. Still, if you're curious about the band, I think this would be an excellent place to start.

3 out of 5 stars Less would have been more.......2001-11-29

Many of the best cuts from Klaatu's catalog are included here, however I feel that, as the title of my review suggested, less would have been more for this compilation. This collection could have been cut down to 12-14 tracks and been a better "Greatest Hits" representation. Such tracks as the disco-ish "Love of A Woman" have nothing in common with the mysteriousness and spaciness of their '77 debut- this particular track sounds very dated, and would have fit right in on a Bee Gees or Andy Gibb record of the day. Other "fillers" that would have been better left on their individual albums include, "The Loneliest of Creatures", "December Dream", "I Can't Help It", and maybe, "True Life Hero". The highlights of this collection include all the other tracks from the first American release, the George Harrison-like vocals on "I Don't Wanna Go Home", "Dear Christine", "All Good Things", and the wonderful, Beatleseque "Routine Day".

5 out of 5 stars A GOOD CONCEPT.......2000-01-25

Klaatu's first album hit #1 because of the rumors of them being the Beatles secretly back together. This made a lot of people, including myself, buy their first album. What many people found out that it wasn't the beatles. However, their music was fantastic and many people became a fan. Peaks is basically a greatest hits collection. Even though they didn't have "hits" themselves "Calling Occupants" was recorded by none other than the carpenters and became a hit for them. They had a few single releases and one of the best is "We're Off You Know." If you haven't heard any of their music you are in for a big surprise. This CD shouldn't be the first you listen to. You need to buy their first CD which is actually their first two albums put on one CD. The second album "Hope" is sort of like the B side of the Beatles Abbey Road in a sense that every song is tied together. It is a "spaced out" CD literally considering that the majority of their songs have a space concept in them. They had 6 albums in all. The first 4 were good ones. It is worth the money to get these CD's.

5 out of 5 stars Is Klaatu's self titled first album Klaatu availible on CD?.......1999-09-18

I love Klaatu's "scifi" rock. Little nuetrino is a great song but I wonder if the original album will ever be availible on cd?

5 out of 5 stars Klaatu, Bravo!.......1999-06-12

My first listen to Klaatu put me on a run for more. Upon finding this 'Best Of' Recording just months ago excited me to no end. I now have all available CD recordings and two on vynal. A great band. Calling Klaatu , I wish you were still here!
