Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Decent Performances, flawed packaging... Review: These are good performances of each of these great ballets. The performances could, however, be a bit more vibrant.What really ruins this box set is the packaging. EMI bureaucrats decided that rather than running Sleeping Beauty over to a third disc (disc five, by the way, which plays for forty minutes) that they would cut two movements from this great ballet. Presumably these bureaucrats would also cut Joyce's Ulysses in order to bring the book in at the primo manuscript page length in order to keep costs down. Personally, I prefer to hear what the composer wrote in full, rather than what some bureaucrat or some conductor thinks is preferable cost wise or aesthetically.Once again, boos and hisses to EMI who continually are doing such things (see my review of their Lehar, Merry Widow reissue).

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Mad Men and Women - Always Entertaining Review: Getting tired of Draper's complete disregard to his marriage and the rate at which he and Mrs. Draper go from being a stable couple to being absolutely psycho with eachother. So often the story jumps forward to scenes that force us to make up what happens in between. Criticisms out of the way, I find this series very entertaining, the characters are well developed and the period is completely captured. Answer:
Positive

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Regretable Misstep From Rising Talent Review: The talent is there, and the spirit is willing but the material is untempered and otherwise over-the-top, lacking the mature vision the moment demanded. Truth is, the people around Cole should never have let her issue this overripe execution of underdone fare. A live album with some stronger new material (and cool covers), followed by a studio work with a more grounded and humble perspective on herself and the world would still be the wisest course. Live, learn from mistakes, do better next time; that's the artistic process. Answer:
Negative
