Pretty useless...

Posted : 2 years, 5 months ago on 13 June 2007 03:49 (A review of The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle)

This cd is pretty much a waste of space. Ten-Pole Tudor attempts vocals on a few songs, which just need to be automatically skipped. Sid Vicious doing My Way is excellent, but it can be found on various other cds.

More in depth review later...

A Great Followup to Volume 1

Posted : 2 years, 5 months ago on 9 June 2007 03:25 (A review of The Legend Of Johnny Cash: Volume II)

Volume 1 gives you the songs you hear on Time Life collection infomercials every Saturday night, and this gives you some lesser-known, but still great, tracks.

Ballad of a Teenage Queen is cheesy, as is the studio version of I Still Miss Someone (please please listen to a live version before you skoff at this great song). Bird on a Wire is amazing, as are the songs produced by Rick Rubin, such as Unchained and In the Sweet By and By. The Ballad of Ira Hayes is moving, and Don't Take Your Guns to Town is one that should be played on the aforementioned infomercials. If you're new to Cash, and have listened to Volume 1, give Volume 2 a listen if you're too short on cash (no pun intended) for a box set.

A Great Collection

Posted : 2 years, 11 months ago on 21 December 2006 02:07 (A review of The Legend of Johnny Cash)

I am usually disappointed with Greatest Hits collections, but in the case of this collection, I'll make an exception.

This is probably the best Greatest Hits album I have ever heard. It has great tracks from every major phase of Cash's career; from Sun Records to American Recordings.

I grew up listening to these songs, and to have them all on one disk is great. Of course it is lacking, as any greatest hits collection will be, but Volume 2 sums it up fairly well.

Horrible

Posted : 3 years, 1 month ago on 3 October 2006 12:15 (A review of World Bass War 1)

I bought this album expecting some good bass to test out my system, and I was sorely disappointed. Instead of having some good bass tracks, there's a whole lot of terrible high-pitched female screaming, horrendous computer generated "music," and very little deep bass. There is only one song, number 19, that has decent bass, from low to high frequencies, which is why I keep this terrible cd.
