Listened to it twice today on a long drive. For those who want to describe it as shite then that's fine. I just heard an interpretation of some old songs done differently. Not sure there's much wrong with that.

Not sure there's much wrong with that. Depends if they are done well or not. But doesn't that also depend on a definition of 'done well or not'? And that in itself will be harder to define and tastes will also differ. But if you don't then its simply one person's opinion versus another. And round in circles we go. |

But if you don't then its simply one person's opinion versus another. And round in circles we go. Which is why music is so great. Its like food. I love squid my wife hates it. Makes for discussion and wouldnt we all be boring if we all agreed. Or at least we would be on Cups n Cafes lol. |

Then we have something to discuss beyond preferences in taste - squid or otherwise. (btw - I'm in the not fond of squid camp.) |

I accept entirely personal preference will always have a lot to do with whether you like it. But as a source of discussion, Id say, does it add to the original does the arrangement 'work' how does it compare to the original but lastly taking away the idea of whether one thinks they should be doing do this, but does it stand up as a piece of music in its own right. |

No. No. Pish No. Comparing I even enjoy Tango more these days;))) |

Oh well I know what I said but I couldn't help myself. I downloaded it off iTunes this morning and listened through earphones whilst cutting the grass.....(rock n roll or what?) Nowhere near as bad as I expected. I doubt I'll listen to it much but I've certainly heard worse. You must have heard some serious shit Col.I've heard worse but not from a band capable of so much better. I listened to it again this afternoon as I had the house to myself after work....I think perhaps the mower was drowning it out the first time. As I say not as bad as I expected but I won't be rushing to listen to it for a third time. |

Radio 2 has just plyed "Jam Side Down"...... Dearie me. What was the point of that? They've changed fuck all - except to make it just a bit more shitey than the original. What a feckin waste of time and money. "except to make it just a bit more shitey than the original." Surely you mean polished(steady) and reimagined through the prism of a fresh doodah. |

The thing in general is absolutely awful... Every song seems to be the same level all the way through, no change in dynamics whatsoever. Parfitts vocals for Ice In The Sun either have an awful effect on them or they was recorded over a phone call  I know you weren't talking about this, but still: dr.loudness-war.info/album/view/117134That looks better on paper than, say, ISOTFC, but an acoustic recording really shouldn't look like that... |
