AMG Review of Definitive Collection

James Christopher Monger
All Music Guide

Geffen's 18-track Definitive Collection boasts the cream of the crop from veteran hair metal band Whitesnake, spanning over ten years of sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Released in conjunction with the group's #Live...In the Still of the Night (Special Collector's Edition) DVD, The Definitive Collection outshines 1994's Greatest Hits by four tracks, and 2000's 20th Century Masters -- The Millennium Collection by six, making it the ideal anthology for fans of heavy riffs, arena rock ballads, scantily clad models on top of flash cars, and primal, Robert Plant-inspired moaning from fluffy haired frontman David Coverdale. Slide it in.
