Title: If only they hadn't done Gloria in lo-fi recording quality.
Review: Man, that's a rippin' cover. But we have to assume purporsely they recorded it in a very primitive manner. Really takes away way more than it gives. A classic song undermined by a very poor recording that just doesn't contribute to the song artisitcilly.There's a bunch of covers on this release. It's a good HALF JAPANESE album to own. Maybe one of their mid range better albums. Definitely worth owning, particularly say if you like the band. You won't be disappointed (well, except for the Gloria song I'd say. Oh, what could have been.)There's no band like HALF JAPANESE. Each of their albums is worth owning (ok, except the latest, Hello). They all have at least several great songs. This one sure does. Who can ask more of a band, one that throws off the preconceptions of what a band should sound like and makes their own path. A glorious one, no question. chrisbct@hotmail.com
