The Best Rockapella Group Ever! February 24, 2001
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Here's a story that illustrates what you can expect from this album and from almost every album by The Nylons, especially "One Size Fits All" and a live performance recording "Four on the Floor." The Nylons opened for a Temptations reunion in Chicago. Naturally, the crowd was eager to hear the Temps again--so eager that people started to boo the relatively unknown, mostly Canadian Nylons when they first appeared onstage. But, by the end of their performance, the crowd gave them a standing ovation. "The Best of the Nylons" includes the group's reditions of several "oldies," with imaginative arrangements, and some outstanding original compositions.
Terrific vocal harmonies December 15, 2000

Canada's premier accapella group The Nylons, have gone through numerous personnel changes over the years, but one thing does not change, and that is their terrific vocal harmonies. This album pulls together the best from the 'One Size Fits All', 'Happy Together', Seamless', and 'Rockapella' albums. Not only do they sing accapella versions of well known classics such as 'The Lion Sleps Tonight' (which by the way, is one of the best versions I've ever heard), but they also sing 5 of their original compositions. For anyone who likes acapella with a touch of percussion, then you must listen to this album.
One of my favorites August 6, 2000

If you are looking for a great vocal album, look no further. There are fun renditions of some well known songs showcasing the way the quartet's voices complement each other. The high tenor is absolutely amazing (particularly on "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" and "Up on the Roof"). They also do a great job on "Kiss Him Goodbye" and "Chain Gang". If you like this kind of vocal music, you can't go wrong.
Beautiful--just beautiful May 6, 1999

I grew up listening to The Nylons, and I still think they have a beautiful sound. "Please" is one of the most touching, heart-wrenching songs ever. Buy, listen, love.
