The original Animals' American hits, including "House of the Rising Sun," "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," "It's My Life," and "We Gotta Get Out of This Place," in a compilation originally released in 1966. The lineup of songs is strong, but the sound is indifferent -- the British Complete Animals covers the same territory and a lot more to much greater effect, at only twice the cost with three times the music and infinitely superior sound and notes. ~ Bruce Eder, All Music Guide
