iTunes Music Review - Rock Spectacle (4 out of 5)

  • Rock Spectacle

    • Buy this album from Amazon.com
    • Buy this album from iTunes Music Store

    • These guys know how to put on a live show, and whomever recorded this knows how to capture one. Rock Spectacle is one of the warmest-sounding recordings I've ever heard, and totally fills a room at any listening level. Harmonies radiate out in a perfect blend, and each instrument breathes on its own. The songs are great, if you like this sort of stuff, but even if you don't, the production quality alone makes this record stand out in the collection. - Dave Hamilton

     

    Dave is President of The Mac Observer, and also has been a drummer all his life. He plays in various local bands, and enjoys listening to -- and playing -- all *kinds* of music.

Outstanding album - and the fidelity is excellent!

(Hot needles, as they used to say in the recording business.)

It really is a fantastic album. If you need a good BNL primer, skip their Greatest Hits and go for this. (Though you will be missing out on some of gems from Stunt and Maroon...So maybe get both their Greatest Hits and Rock Spectacle).
