Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Not that good Review: There seems to be considerable controversy regarding this one. As an avid admirer of Mott the Hoople since their early days, I must confess that this set is somewhat disappointing. It is certainly true that the band had nearly reached the end of the line by the time of this recording, and much of the playing here was less than inspired. Ian Hunter talks too much throughout the set, and poor old Luther (Ariel Bender) Grosvenor proves that a hack by any other name is still a hack; he just doesn't seem able to adequately fill the gap left by the departure of Mick Ralphs. Pete Watts and Dale Griffin were still on board, and Morgan Fisher plays adequately, but the performances are rushed, sloppy, and seem to scream the fact that the members of Mott no longer really cared. In fact, this entire album seems to be mere "product", meant to fulfill a contractual obligation, a sad epitaph for a once-great band who simply threw in the towel. Answer:

Is there a negative or positive tone to this product review? === Title: Don't take them so seriously, they're just a fun band Review: 311 takes the best ingredients from a variety of different genres, makes it their own, writes some terrifically catchy songs and then laughs all the way to the bank.They have the crunch of hard rock and grunge, the dueling vocalists (a singer and rapper) ala Linkin Park that invokes hip hop, the virtuostic bass ( I love their bassist P -Nut) eliciting a dub feel, and the melody of a pop group. Their singer has matinee good looks and is an entertaining front man (explaining why they are a powerful concert draw). Put it all together and it should be a no surprise why this group is so successful.Anybody that is a hard core fan of rock will think of them a sell out, of hip hop thinking theoir posers and of reggae thinking they don't measure up to par. You know what? It's just music and it shouldn't be taken so seriously.This is fun, party music and never gets old. There is a nice cross section of their hits. Answer:
(Answer)
Positive

Review: My two PBS stations in my rural area show AYBS?, but for some reson they never show any of the christmas episodes. I find this holiday special very entertaining, not only because they're three "lost episodes," as it were, but also that it is a funny family video during those cold December nights. Answer:
