Cyan/Hard Labor.......2007-07-22

Two of my favorite all time 3DN albums. Couldn't believe I actually found the CD versions. Love all the songs on both!!!! Thanks!!!!!

Sound Is What Is To Be Expected.......2007-04-15

If you are purchasing a Three Dog Night Album of any type you need to know one thing. The original master tapes were lost during the ABC/Dunhill era. MCA obtained the "master tapes" that we all know and love to complain about. I had the original Three Dog Night albums for this CD. The albums never sounded very good. I also have the original MCA/Universal CD's. While this sound isn't stellar, it slightly edges out the original MCA CD's. The last greatest hits sound is just a pinch better on some of the songs than on this CD.

The music of course brings me back to a simpler time in my life. Some day I hope the real master tapes show up. Until then this CD isn't a bad buy.

3DN deserve better than this..........2006-09-27

Of the three Edsel repackages, this combo of "Cyan" and "Hard Labor" is the least depressing. The audio is lackluster in comparison to MCA's original CD releases of the albums, and while the accompanying booklet is nicely laid out, it does contain several factual errors. Edsel dropped the ball here, folks. Better to keep the MCA discs if you have them, or search those discs out.

Some people dont know when to leave well enough alone.......2006-09-20

5 stars for the actual recording effort on the bands part...1 star for the remaster disaster on Edsels part

Some people dont know when to leave well enough alone......The bass is weak and muddy ...the mids are weak and notched way down...and the highs are excessively overdriven...to the point of being harsh and unlistenable..causing major listening fatigue.

I have waited for several months for the release of these 3 double cd sets by Edsel.....I just gave them a listen....and all three sets must have been done by the same guy.....a guy with a severe tin ear.

The booklet is excellent....but do yourself (and your ears) a favor....if you have the earlier cd vrsions....stick with them....they're head and shoulders above this.

Let's Add On The Way Back Home.......2006-01-25

I'll agree with the other reviewers that the album is too short. I've always loved On The Way Back Home. The song is on my iPod and songs don't get on my iPod lightly. I'd Be So Happy is also on my iPod. So, along with the three hits and these additional two songs, Hard Labor has five great tunes. That's better than most albums. So in my book the math adds up to justify 4 stars.

The sound on CD could be better. The album always had a flat sound and the CD isn't much better.

Hard Labor does have the full length "The Show Must Go On" which clocks in over a minute longer than the 45 version on all other Three Dog Night CD's. The only other place that I know of where the full length version of The Show Must Go On appears was on the 8-track tape of 3 Dog Night's Greatest Hits.

DOG's LAST GASP.......2005-04-23

Indeed, the last Gold album for the group, "Hard Labor" comes forth like a project that was not easily delivered. Changing producers to Jimmy Ienner was supposed to regroom the dog but "Teeth" bit too hard on his bubblegum and the once respected band sounds very wimpy on most of these songs. Clocking in at a paltry 36 minutes, this collection is short on both length and top drawer material. <>
First of all, 3 of the cuts are simply mindless preludes or interludes that go nowhere. That leaves you with just 8 songs, and 4 of those are stretched redundantly beyond tolerence for a normal closure - fleshing out for a minute or two past the pleasure point.
<> The hit songs were catchy 3 DOG NIGHT choices, although the biggest one --Leo Sayer's "The Show Must Go On" was more of a too-much-fun novelty and hasn't aged well. The other two hits, John Hiatt's "Sure As I'm Sitting Here", and Allen Toussaint's "Play Something Sweet" (Brickyard Blues) are engaging and memorable and still sound great some 30 years hence. There is one other song that should have been a hit. "I'd Be So Happy" has the earmarks of classic 3 Dog Night and it's a mystery why this was never singled. < >
The others are the throwaway Daniel Moore songs which an earlier Dog would have passed on, and a forgetable Larry Weiss number.
<>
3 or 4 songs do not a good release make and 3 DOG NIGHT never recovered from Hard Labor. All of us who plopped down our hard earned felt very ripped when we took this one home and we never really gave the band another chance. And they never deserved one.
<>
Note: The 4 essentials from this release are on the excellent "Celebrate -The Three Dog Night Story" double CD. No need to bother with what remains.

A good album.......2004-04-27

I thought this was a strong album for Three Dog Night. It produced 3 hit singles: The Show Must Go On, Sure As I'm Sittin' Here, and Play Something Sweet. I also thought Put Out The Light and Sittin In Limbo were very good. Though it was kind of lite on the number of songs for an album, it really only has 8 songs when most albums at the time included 10 or more.

Album Description

Co-produced by Ty Tabor(Kings X), this project is definitely a labor of love and has been a long time coming for these guys. Brought together by friendships, a love of God, and a desire to share life experiences, this band brings a fresh approach to music and ministry. The band says, "until you are willing to sacrifice out of love for someone you have no business preaching". "We hope that through our music and ministry we are able to live out these ideas and share the joy and healing that only comes from knowing Jesus".

Customer Reviews:

2 stars.......2006-07-11

Contrary to what you're told in the product description, this CD was NOT "Co-produced by Ty Tabor(Kings X)." Ty was the executive producer, which is a different role from producer or co-producer. The sound quality of this CD is sub-par, and would have fared much better if Ty had been in the producer's seat. As a fan of King's X and Ty Tabor, I was duped a few years back on another site by the false description that this CD was produced by Ty, and it just wasn't very good, musically and sonically speaking. So, if you're looking at this product after a search for "Ty Tabor" (which is how it came up for me on this site), trust me when I say that this is NOT a must-have for Ty Tabor or King's X fans.

the union's hard labor.......2000-07-28

this album is definitely a must-buy for every hardcore hip hop fan. the production is top notch and so are the lyrics. the union really knows how to flow over tight beats. "killa instinct" featuring cormega is my favourite track. the guest appearances on this album are tight as well.
