Title: Death of an Album
Review: Oh my God-- one of the worst things ever recorded-- Spector at his worst-whoever thought that pairing Cohen and Spector should have had his head checked. When tis was recorded, Spector was at his absolute peak of over-indulgence--his only other works that were as bad as this were John Lennons "Rock and Roll" and Dion's "Born to Be With You" (so bad it didnt even get a US release. His wall of sound consisted of about 100 musicians playing loud and for the most part out of tune.This recording with Cohen should never have been released--if it had remained unreleased, or come out as a bootleg it might have gained some "BeachBoys-Smile" ledgend, but it is awful.Truly awful. And did I say, WRETCHED ?Listen to the title track--sound slike Spector lifted the backing track to George Harrisons 'Isnt it a Pity"---Bogus bogus bogus
Is the review positive or negative?
