Title: Lo-Fi? How about NO-Fi...
Review: I picked this one up by chance after scanning the liner notes and noticing the songs they covered. Hey, they name drop The Small Faces, Brian Auger, Booker T. etc etc...they even cover the mod classic "Bert's Apple Crumble"...it's gotta be good, right? WRONG! The singer obviously has some talent, but the rest of it was really painful. The production is horrible, and the guitar sounds out of tune! It was PAINFUL! I actually took it back to the store and returned it within an hour of the purchase. Is this what they mean about "updating" classics with "punk energy"? To me, it's just masquerading or disguising the fact that if they tried straight up cover versions they would fall on their faces. Well they did anyway. Seriously folks, if you like any of the artists mentioned above, AVOID THIS, it's a complete pile of _ _ _ _.
Is the review positive or negative?
