Title: It's A Lemon
Review: Rhino blew it with this one. Great packaging, as usual for them, but the music is slight and it's not a good value. The disks average about 50 minutes each; if I'm shelling out 60 bucks for four CD's I expect them to be packed. They could have easily put this on 3 disks. But my biggest gripe is the song selection. Rhino used to be great about choosing the perfect theme mix tape collections--they did it with the doo-wop collection, Nuggets and many others. Here, there are maybe 5 or 10 songs I'd put on my personal "Driving Tape". A car album without any Springsteen? How about "Drivin' Sister" by Mott the Hoople? "Cars" by Gary Numan? "Driving" by the Kinks? "Autobahn"? OK, I know they have to get the licensing agreements, but there are hundreds of car and road songs--many here are forgettable or just plain bad. I agree that the album doesn't flow well. However, I can't wait to put together my own driving tape.
Is the review positive or negative?
