Who's Next [Remastered] - Who (The)

Advantages: Well crafted
Disadvantages: Lacks their earlier passion

...This is an album from a group that had pretty much seen it all, stadium sized rock gigs, the death of a founding member and a change in the music business that cam e about following punk's reaction to the pomposity of some of the seventies rock bands. Whilst there is no denying that the Who in the early eighties were all accomplished musicians well used to their craft, it is possible to say that they had lost a great deal of the spark that made them one of the most exciting rock bands in the sixties and seventies. There are great moments on this album, and lyrically it is consistant with a good deal of their previous output, but overall it lacks the dynamism of earlier work. By no means avoid this album, you are still ikely to get a deal of enjoyment from listening, but there are others to listen to first - try Who's Next or Who... Read review

Advantages: Remastered to the level where you confuse this for a new album, 4 Bonus Tracks

It's not so far a leap to actually think this whole album was re-recorded, it's that much better. And that's just for people who already owned this album. For those that don't, it might not have the world breaking "Every Rose Has It's Thorn", but what it does have is the pure, youthfull energy of a band that were having fun, and album full of tongue in cheek lyrics, and band that want you to go out and have fun too. As a re-master, it also comes complete with bonus tracks, and although labeled as demo's, the last "Don't Mess Around With Jim" is fast becoming one my top Poison songs, and is an obvious candidate for a track...

Advantages: wonderful music
Disadvantages: she isnt here with us and should be

...they released their first record "Encontre e Amor". A few years later, in the summer of 1991 they imployed a new member, a shy guy from San Antonio, Chris Perez, whom Selena would marry on April 2, 1992. One day after a concert Selena's dad was approaced by a fan Yolanda Saldivar who wanted to create a fanclub for Selena Y Los Dinos, Abraham agreed and a fanclub was created with Yolanda as President, they also employed her to manage Selena's boutiques. During the next few years Selena and Yolanda became good friends. During 1994 and early 1995 money started to go missing from the fanclub and the boutiques. One worker went to Yolanda's house and saw that one of the rooms was decorated with posters of Selena and had a altar with candles on it-it was a shrine. On March 31, 1995 Selena went to comfront Yolanda at the Days Inn Motel in Corpus... Read review
