Title: What we've been waiting for
Product review: I could not agree more with previous reviewers who label this an instant classic, an even better album than their other two (also solid) post-reunion albums. As a long-time Go-Betweens fan, I'm delighted with every song in Oceans Apart. I'm sure it will become as treasured as 16 Lovers Lane. One last comment: the reviewer who mentions the absolutely miserable mastering job is completely right. There are songs (especially the last 2 tracks) that are painful to listen to in any hi-fi or above average stereo system. I have tried the disc in several different systems (incl. iPod and top quality car stereos) and am very disappointed at the sound quality. I even returned the first disc I bought because I thought it was defective. However, the bonus live CD is fine in terms of sound quality.
