Full review
This collection of early JOJ recordings really brings a new light to the songs that fans already know and love.
The demos sound great but some people may be disappointed with the sound quality of some of the tracks as they are obviously not crystal clear. However, I think the rawness of the recordings just adds to the appeal and reflects JOJ's unique style perfectly.
Jessicka's voice sounds beautiful and even more full of emotion than usual, the other band members sound fantastic also. These versions of the songs are slightly different to the versions that later appear on the albums, with slightly different lyrics in some songs (My Cat, for example) and some effects have been added so it gives you a nice twist on the tracks that you are used to hearing.
The CD is brilliant value for money as it boasts an incredible 23 tracks. There is also a booklet containing a few old photos of the band and the forward is written by Marilyn Manson, in which he says that he thought his band was better than JOJ but this collection of demos in fact proves him wrong.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this CD and give it 4 out of 5 stars.
If you are a JOJ fan then you really must add this to your collection!
