Review title: this was painful...
Product review: this has to be one of the worst live cds i've had the misfortune of hearing in my entire life. at first glance i was really excited... the smoking popes (one of my favourite bands) live in chicago at the metro... has the makings of a great show, right? i read the track listing and became even more pleased. classic songs like writing a letter, not that kind of girlfriend, under the blanket, stars... the list goes on. then i listened to it. big mistake... having the benefit of having seen them numerous times at the metro and elsewhere i think people will agree with me when i say that josh was somewhere else. uninspired, hurried, and not in good form. the smoking popes were a great live band, and to release this particular show to the public gives a fan nothing more than an insight into how truly discontent josh really was, and an inaccurate notion of how the popes sounded live... this cd is extremely disappointing to put it mildly.
