Free Music Notes for Ghost In The Machine [Digipak]
Free Music Review: Good even when average
Hit: 3 Stars
3 1/2
What starts out as what could have been their greatest work quickly warps into a party disc. In contrast with thematic content, a big middle chunk remains merely fun, albeit with some underlying intelligence that occasionally inspires. Even at their pop-locked best however, it was clear The Police were still refining an already masterful chemistry.
Free Music Review: Still waiting for the One
Hit: 2 Stars
Four stars for the music, which holds up very well indeed, in addition to bringing back many fond memories from my youth. Two stars for the mediocre remastering, which sounds oh so very, very "digital", i.e., thin, harsh and tinny, though louder than the initial CD release. Wish they'd done this one in HDCD instead, like the King Crimson and Roxy Music remasters. Perhaps the SACD version offers a broader soundstage and more midrange and bass?
One star for the lousy packaging, which picks up scuffs and fingerprints easily and grabs too tight a hold of the CD. (For an example of how to do digipak right, see King Crimson's digipack-ed release of "Thrack Attack".) I'd suggest waiting for the jewel case release of this one before purchasing.
So, two stars overall. Maybe they'll get it right with the next remastering....
Free Music Review: Three good songs eight filler
Hit: 2 Stars
The album has a great title and and even better cover. It starts off great, actually the first three songs are classics. And... thats it. the rest is filler. Can't remember the names of the songs and I can't remember any of the dull lyrics. 3 out of 11. Very poor average.Free Music Review: Another European/American capitalizing on African roots
Hit: 1 Stars
Of course music should be the one place that such trivial yet devistating issues such as racism should not breathe, but unfortunately the world has never been how it should be. Just as much was Elvis' mockery of Chuck Berry, Kenny's mockery of actual jazz, and Eminem's mockery of Hip Hop...The Police are the most successful non-Caribbean mockery of reggae. It's so pathetic.
