It Was All About Karen
December 29, 2009We have had "all about groups in the music business, sometimes causing a split, sometimes transcending into a solo act. Van Halen, the Pretenders, Fleetwood Mac, the E Street Band were all about the one heavyweight who who carried the whole store and in some instances, that and...

A lot of remixes, but all the good songs are here.
I just wish the songs weren't "remixed", Karen's voice sounds like it's in the background, with an almost echo effect. I like the original versions as released on the LPs. Or listen to a cd, before the songs were remastered/remixed by Richard. But it's a good compilation. I just feel the...

Best Singer Ever
Karen's voice and her brothers genius make this one solid Gold. My kids say don't bother him now, he's listening to the Karen LOL. This is a total collection of all the hits and some obscure beauties. Be hard pressed to find anyone who can sing this well. Karen had range, tone, emotion and a...

Carpenters Gold
An excellent gathering of all their greatest hits and some lesser-known titles. Karen Carpenter's voice is rich, expressive, timeless.

Carpenters Gold Indeed
I grew up listening to the Carpenters, and this album brought back so many wonderful memories! There were many old favorites, and some I had not heard before. Liner notes by Richard Carpenter were very interesting. I recommend this album to anyone who enjoyed the Carpenters.

Carpenters creativity overshadowed by vocals and overdubs
For some the Carpenters music is too polished and the multiple vocal tracks can sound corny. Karen's voice is the savior though. Her deep alto voice is always a pleasure to listen to. They experimented with jazz and rock, especially the guitar solo in Goodby to Love. At that time they had...

Carpenter's CD
I love the Carpenter's music. However, my CD's both skip, ruining the continuity of the music. Now I'm actually reluctant to buy any more CDs.

Code
There is no understanding girlhood in the early 70's without at least a cursory familiarity of (the) Carpenters. They ruled. And, for me, that was queer. Socialized as a boy, Carpenters were off-limits; I was supposed to get down with Grand Funk Railroad, or something. My Carpenters greatest hits...
