Free Music Notes for Earthquake WeatherFree Music Review: Over produced nightmare! Hit: 3 Stars
Earthquake Weather has to be one of the most over produced albums I have ever heard. The lyrics and concept of the songs are great but it's badly over produced. Maybe they should have keep the music basic and hid the tapes from Joe before he added and layered sound and music that wasn't needed. A good album but too much tinkering can ruin a good thing.
For Joe Strummer fans but beware of the production!
Free Music Review: CDr with generic cover, no remastering, no liner notes, NOTHIN' Hit: 1 Stars
Not Joe's finest moment, but an interesting and ambitious project. Not here to rate the music, though, but the fact that YES, this is an "official" CDR release. With a laser printer, a download of the album cover, and a CD-burner, you could make pretty much the same quality disc yourself. The back cover is some generic template, not the original back cover. The front cover is a none-too-clear laser printjob of the original, but it doesn't even exactly fit the case. There's nothing inside the booklet. And the sound quality is no improvement on whatever MP3 files have been kicking around online for years; there are even mysterious drops in volume (on track 6, say) that seem like they might be glitches... I suppose there's a place for cheapie CDr reissues - because Sony would likely have never invested in a "real" reissue - but don't the esteemed hosts of this transaction feel morally obliged to TELL YOU WHAT YOU'RE BUYING? This is NOT a CD. This is a CDr, indifferently presented, to cash in on the unsuspecting. Boo, hiss; prolonged sound of flatulence in the direction of A-m-a-z-o-n and S-o-n-y. Breathe it in!
Free Music Review: Avoid duplicitous "new" release Hit: 1 Stars
BUYER BEWARE. Item on offer as new through Amazon is a CD-R of original issue with photocopied artwork. For example, there are no interior notes, whereas the original CBS issue contained lyrics to all songs, which are important with such a literate release.
