Negative Positive
Title: A few bright spots, but overall....pretty grim
Review: The only reason I can muster any "stars" at all is that 3 of the 15 tracks actually brought a smile to my face."War," agreed, is a song that should probably have gone untouched from its original version. Having said that however, the new mix is fun."Smiling Faces Sometimes" is probably most loyal to its original version. A few subtle changes here and there, but this song is hard to screw up. The new version holds up well.To my surprise, the highlight of this "Remixed" CD is "Let's Get It On." Again, the 1973 version is pretty darn perfect. But I have to admit, old Marvin himself might get a kick out of this one. Still sexy, with a new beat, and it should gain a whole new audience.Can't say much good about the rest; in fact some are unbelievably awful. I would not have believed that there is a way to screw up "My World Is Empty," "ABC" and "Tears of A Clown." But someone found a way to do it!
Is the review positive or negative?
