Title: Once you get really big, you can publish anything
Review: Kinda like U2 and 'Pop', etc., Pat Metheny became such a big name and could tell his label 'this is what I want to do' and they had no choice but to release it. Note that it's been OOP for QUITE a while. I, of course, a devoted Pat fan bought my copy fresh off the truck for full price and some weeks later sold it at a second-hand record store for a buck. Pat Metheny is a VERY, VERY talented man and I have been a fan since 1978, but sometimes I think his head 'swells' a bit....and someone needs to bring him down. This is NOT music.....don't look for a 'Secret Story', a 'Phase Dance' (although I think some phase SHIFT is in here)....think 'Offramp' meets 'Pretty Scattered' played backwards.
Is the review positive or negative?
