Ques:Title: sadly mediocre Review: It's such a shame that Genesis went commercial, not that it was all terrible, but that they never challenged their musical abilities once they did. Sure, the recording is great, but the songs get stale quickly, as the band makes no effort to do anything different than the album versions. The ending of the old medley is abominable, as phil tries to spurt out as many song choruses as he can in a terrible butchering. The best moment is the mid-section of Firth of Fifth, showing how elaborate their songs can be, but it also shows how fabulous guitarist Daryl Stuermer is criminally underused, playing bass while the terrible lead of Mike Rutherford wanders around. Firth of Fifth is Daryl's only chance to perform to his capabilities, and the same is true of the whole band. Hearing this fine moment followed by the dullness of the rest of the cd illustrates just how far this once proud band has fallen. Is the review positive or negative?

Ans:Negative

Ques:Title: Game is super-fun, but cheap pads are worthless. Review: My husband and I recently got addicted to Dance Dance Revolution. We started with the cheap plastic foldup style pads like this, but we quickly got frustrated with them. Even the pads that are advertised as 'non-slip' tend to slide around the floor like crazy when you're dancing. This is not only annoying, it screws up your foot placement. We also tried a hard plastic version but those were really loud, hard to use, and hurt your feet after only a few minutes of dancing. We finally settled on a version that has a three-inch thick foam core that zips into the casing that houses the sensors. They don't slide around the floor, the sensors are perfectly placed and sensitive enough to register the slightest foot tap, and the foam cushions your feet. I don't know where my husband got them, but they were like $40, and totally worth it if you're going to be doing much dancing at all. I love DDR!! Is the review positive or negative?

Ques:Title: Enough already! Review: OK, he's a decent writer and this is a heart-warming story, but enough is enough. Let's move on to something a little more interesting. This makes the "Bridges of Madison County" look deep. Is the review positive or negative?

Ques:Title: Outdated Review: This release has recently been shown to be incorrect as a result of the recent calls for democracy by the citizens of Egypt, Lebanon, and Saudi Arabia, and developments in Israel and Iraq. If the current administration's policies are doomed to failure as stated in this book, why then do the policies appear to be getting results in the Middle East? Clearly Solderberg has it wrong. And she worked in previous administrations? Wow.I gave Soderberg an extra star for the personal stories she had in the book, although I question how appropriate their inclusion was in a book of this type. I was more interested in her theories than in her stories.It was amusing reading through this book and then later observing how wrong it was based on current events. This is a good example of how wrong the "intellectuals" can be regarding world affairs. Is the review positive or negative?
