CD Reviews

Go elsewhere for the very best

John Byrd | Kansas City, MO | 08/05/2005

(2 out of 5 stars)

"This was mediocre and disappointing as a "very best of" album. It was appealing before buying it in its array of song selections, but it turned out to have some of the otherwise best songs as live versions. If I had known that the sound quality was so low on these tracks, I never would have dreamed of buying this. JTQ is obviously not a good live band sound-wise in my opinion, or at least with the equipment used to record these live tracks. I also kind of forgot how much they overemphasize the organ/keyboard sound, which is too much even on their best songs really. In general they just don't compare to the other albums I bought at the same time, such as authentic original lounge acts, so maybe it wasn't fair to rate them at all. Still this is just not a good selection of songs considering the ultra-lame live tracks and mediocre studio ones."
