I have decided to break down and give you my opinion on Double-CD
|
|
packages. Before I actually comment on the music, let me first whine about
|
|
the packages these wonderfull Double-CD "deals" come in. When you go into
|
|
the store looking for your music, the idea of getting two CD's for the
|
|
price of 1 and a half sounds pretty sweet. Indeed, when you go further
|
|
to look for a favorite artist, 30+ songs jammed onto two CD's looks GREAT!
|
|
HOWEVER, when you actually buy the Double-CD package, you learn just exactly
|
|
what a REAL pain in the ass it is. What you have purchased is a bulky
|
|
nightmare, that is almost guarenteed not to fit in ANY conventional CD
|
|
holder. Yes folks, I am talking about those 1 and a quater inch nightmare
|
|
packages!!! What's my point? I think they suck. Just give me two CD cases,
|
|
and shrink rap some plastic around them. Then they will fit in my CD case
|
|
holder. On to the reviews.
|
|
Since I am on the Double-CD binge, I have decided to review two of the
|
|
more "recent" Double-CD packages that I have purchased. One is the Pat
|
|
Benatar Double-CD, and the other is last year's Woodstock '94 Double-CD.
|
|
Enjoy...and BY THE WAY!!! If you have some music that you would like
|
|
reviewed, and you A) think I can afford it, or B) can send me a dub tape,
|
|
please get in touch with me at mustaine@wam.umd.edu and arrange for me to
|
|
hear the stuff. I would love to review stuff that I don't normally listen
|
|
to.

Band #1
|
|
Name : Pat Benatar
|
|
Album : All Fired Up (The Very Best Of Pat Benatar)
|
|
Info. : Aside from the bulky packaging, this compilation of Pat Benatar's
|
|
greats really doesn't pack much of a punch. Sure, you get the
|
|
songs you love from "Best Shots", but aside from that, the album
|
|
pretty much says nothing. N-E-Ways, if you are an _avid_ fan of
|
|
Pat Benatar, I would adivse checking this album out. It pretty
|
|
much covers most of her songs. I did notice however, that is
|
|
does NOT feature the song she recorded for "The Secret of My
|
|
Success" soundtrack; that being "Sometimes The Good Guys Finish
|
|
First." Oh well, eh?

Now before I leave, let me reiterate that the Woodstock '94 CD

is an absolute WASTE of money. If you buy it, you do NOT have the option of
|
|
blaming me. I told you so :)
|
|
|
|
Maybe next time I will do some Tecno Compilations....then again...maybe
|
|
NOT! Until then, see ya! - mustaine
