Title: Blows The Studio Albums Away
Review: I kind of came to Midnight Oil backwards -- first I heard this live album, then I got their studio albums. And let me tell you, the studio releases sound anemic and tinny next to this. But live the band absolutely roars to life: the production is full and throaty, and the performances manage to be both raw and tight. With maybe the exception of "Earth Sun and Moon," I don't think any of their studio albums have approached the sheer sonic power of this one.A handful of bands out there are best heard on their live albums, and MO is one of them. This is not a "fans only" live album. Quite the opposite. If you're new to MO, I urge you to pick this as your FIRST album. You'll be converted.
