Negative Positive
Title: Unlistenable, literally
Review: I think iggy is playing a bit of a joke on us with this one. The volume is all the way down on this recording, so you have to crank your speakers up all the way. The treble is all the way up, and the bass is all the way down. Some of the guitar solos also seem to have a drastic increase in the already jacked up treble, making for a harsh squeeking noise that actually hurts your ears. It's like listening to AM radio on a small transistor radio with a 2 inch speaker. It really sounds like an awful quality live bootleg, and I'm not talking about the bonus live disc it comes with. The volume of the vocals also fluctuates wildly, and most of "Gimmie Danger" has no drums, just a hi-hat and cymbals. This is a drastically different mix from the original 1973 bowie mix. At times this recording resembles the screeching sounds heard on albums by Throbbing Gristle. Either listen to the original or the 1997 remastered/remixed version.
Is the review positive or negative?
