Free Music Notes for Vs. (The Definitive Edition plus bonus DVD)
Free Music Review: Worth it!
Hit: 5 Stars
If you've been thinking about whether or not these new reissues are worth your time, the answer is a resounding YES! Rick Harte (Burma's producer) went back to the analogue tapes and completely overhauled them. The sound is more spacious, warmer, with more bottom end. For hardcore fans, the main draw would be the dvd's. Vs. has the afternoon show from the final Boston concerts, and Burma is at full boil. The show is chaotic from an audience stand point, but the band plows through a great, varied set. The picture is not Blue-Ray ready, but very watchable. The only problem with the sound is that it comes nowhere near how pulverizingly loud this band was. The evening show is on the "Horrible Truth" reissue with very little song overlap between the two shows. I'm not going to get into the music because you're probably already on board for these guys and want to know if these reissues are worth it. Yes, absolutely yes. Great job for one of the all time great pop/punk/experimental bands who could just never catch a break.
