• Rough Cut, Not the Real Deal

  4 out of 5 stars
  UdqufPRA4 November 2025United States🇺🇸

  I *can* attest that this pressing is a sort of remix or rough cut that's quite distinct from the original album, with my synth parts either absent or buried in the mix, and backing vocals either missing or way too loud. It's like listening to the session demos we had for HC and DSM. It's a fascinating listen, no doubt, but I gotta say, Reg Strikes Back deserves a proper remaster/reissue of the actual album, 'cause this ain't it.

• Reg Dwight's Triumphant Return

  3 out of 5 stars
  Negahaulav3 July 2025United States🇺🇸

  Following numerous years of vagueness, Reg(inald) Dwight returns in fine form. This album is somewhat marred by that typical mid-eighties sound where Roland keyboards dominate too much. Why not swap them out for a classic grand piano? Still, it showcases some brilliant songwriting, particularly on side A. Poor cow and Since God invented girls make for a fantastic finish too.

• Avoid This Flat Mix

  5 out of 5 stars
  yaweh.veyk31 January 2025United States🇺🇸

  Ugh. ... steer clear of this one if possible! Yet another 'brickwalled' mix or remaster or something. There's zero audio dynamics here at all ... boring and flat are the first nice words that pop into my head. Really let down.

• Missing Classic Tracks

  4 out of 5 stars
  SEITNSAUZANUKMYO12 February 2024United States🇺🇸

  I'm shocked that this is called the “Classic Years” when Breaking Hearts isn’t included! There's not much depth to this album and his vocals often come across as quite rehearsed.
