Free Music Notes for Ultimate Collection (2 CDs)
Free Music Review: Please no more "Radio Edits" on greatest hits collections
Hit: 4 Stars
We all know most of the songs on this collection and can agree that Pat Benatar and her band and producers created some of the best rock ever. Can we also agree to one thing: please record companies stop putting short versions (radio edits) of songs on greatest hits collections. This REALLY bothers me. There are so many short versions of some of her biggest hits here. I would much rather have a few of the lesser known songs left off then to have to deal with what we have here. Of all Pat Benatar's greatest hits collections that I know of the only one to have the full length album versions is "Best Shots" Yes I know there are some songs left off on this collection and the sound quality is not as good as some of the other collections but I can deal with that. ( A cd recorder and a DJ mixer can tweak the sound and you can make your own collection)So please let's voice our displeasure about this and maybe our voices will be heard.Free Music Review: WOW, they REALLY mastered this LOUD!

The music loudness wars continue: primer below
h ttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loudness_war to read simply fill connect the "H" and the "T"
Unfortunately this new collection is a prime offender. It is compressed and brickwall limited within an inch of it's life. Hey record companies, we have our own volume knobs, please stop doing this. It robs the recordings of all dynamics and is very fatiguing to listen to over the course of the album. Also, when musicians in a band do a "build up" where say, the guitars and drums get louder, it'd be nice and accurate on the CD if the volume would actually change and get, louder. Here during the numerous buildups in songs, "I need a Lover" is a prime example, the volume level stays the EXACT same throughout. That's not how the band played it, how they recorded it or how it used to sound on the original records. TOO much compression. A shame.
Free Music Review: constant compilations for Pat Benatar
Hit: 3 Stars
There has been a lot of compilations for Pat Benatar and I know her music is the best thing ever but once "Synchronistic Wanderings" appeared in the market it was known which compilation CD was the best one. It seemed like all of these other cd's only went up on her hits until 1993 and we know that there was hits after that. I also noticed that no one knows how to spell on this cd either such as "Painted Desert" appears as "Painted Dessert" I was laughing and I am just imagining Pat singing about "Painted Dessert"lol!! anyways...this cd is good in a pinch other than that "Synchronistic Wanderings" is the best one so far!Free Music Review: Great songs...but do we need this?
Hit: 3 Stars
Wow, I think there are more of these compilations of Pat's than actual studio albums. Not sure what the need for this is, but the songs are great, but any fan already has them. Wish they would have licensed something from her last 2 studio albums from 1997 and 2003 to make it a little more rounded. This makes it look as if she stopped in 1993.Free Music Review: So/So
Hit: 3 Stars
I really Like Pat Benatar, but I think there were only Like 4 good songs on BOTH CDs combined! Would i recommend it? Most likely not.
