Negative Positive
Title: Unusable
Review: The recording is mostly very quiet but is punctuated by settling logs & pops of a shocking volume. The crackling is faint & sometimes far apart, but initially the gentle roar is nice & "warm." There are also a couple of hisses & metallic pings.This fire CD is the only one I know of besides Relax with Crackling Fire that has falling logs in it. I like settling logs, but this event happens 20 times in 60 minutes, & twice it is startling--like a pile of books falling on your head. So too for the pops--5 of them sound like the report of a gun.However, the weirdest feature begins around 28:00, when the roar becomes an up-close static. The worst occurs at 39:00, when the grossest burst makes the disc sound defective. The static eventually dies away but not until about 56:00 does it finally disappear. This CD is a very bad choice for anyone who finds sudden noises unnerving.
Is the review positive or negative?
