You better correct Irishteen, then. He just put your list in the thread over there.

I just now read this, damn phone lol

 

[phanan]

See, I'm not willing to say that should be a limitation. Some classic bands out there released just one or two albums before they fell apart, and I think The Dark Third is one of the best albums I own.

I look at it differently though.

With a band like Joy Division, their entire body of work consisted of two albums, and they've left their mark in music history.

PRR is just starting out, and will have more material to judge with eventually.

 

[phanan]

What's improved? Bass and drums, like JT?

Hard to tell from here at work, but the bass definitely stands out again.

 

[phillyfan26]

I'm not sure if I want these re-masters. I have all the albums already ... do I need repeats? Really? I personally would, but that's a big investment and my parents would think I'm fucking insane.

 

[phanan]

There's a quick 34 second instrumental at the end of Boy that isn't on my original CD. Is this something new? I'm too lazy to go through the thread in EYKIW.

 

[phillyfan26]

It's from the vinyl. It's some sampling of a demo of Fire or something.

Updated your list with Bowie

Huh. I never knew that.

 

[phanan]

Now for the bonus disc.

 

[Galeongirl]

I'm not exactly buying the new ones

the instrumental is from the boy lp, it's an early version of Fire

 

[phillyfan26]

I purchased The Joshua Tree re-master on iTunes. I kind of wish I had the box and all, though.

 

[bono_212]

Thanks john


Uggggh everyone I work with today speaks hindi. I feel so left out.

However, I've worked around them so long, I acctually understand about 1/4th of what's being said

Well, this is true, but the same could be said for any active band really, don't you think?

 

[Galeongirl]

I have the super fancy JT boxset, and it's nice.. but I'm not really hyper on buying these three... perhaps only War, but I'm not planning on it..
I'd buy AB and Pop for sure!

The box is awesome, especially with the DVD and all

Oh, sweet, that's on there? Nice.

 

[phanan]

Yes, but let's face it - the ones that have been around for a while have certainly made their mark as well, even if they aren't done yet. U2 is obviously one of the greatest bands of all time, and it's safe to say that even if they aren't done.

 

[phanan]

Nice bass work on Speed Of Life.

I think War is the worst of the lot, with those millions of remixes on the bonus disc. Who needs that many versions of NYD and THBAO? At least Boy's bonus disc has some decent material ...

 

[phanan]

Holy shit, this Saturday Night song rocks. How the fuck did this not get released until now?

 

[phillyfan26]

Isn't Saturday Night the original Fire?

 

[bono_212]

That's why I didn't want to pick arcade fire, since they've only got two albums (on the other hand I picked the killers, but, I had a hard time not)


The box of tjt is beyond worth it, but these three seem like a joke. I'll probably only pick up october, simply because I don't already have it

 

[Galeongirl]

yea that's EXACTLY my problem... but the only album of those three I'd care for remastered sound is War... but why those shitty remixes???

 

[phanan]

Isn't Saturday Night the original Fire?

Yeah, but much different and, in my opinion, far superior.

 

[phillyfan26]

Awesome. Fire sucks, too, so I'm glad that's better.

 

[bono_212]

That really sucks too because war seems to be the one that needed remastered most, and it's the one with the worst bonus disc

 

[phillyfan26]

Achtung Baby re-mastered would interest me, that could really use it.

 

[phanan]

The remastering on this bonus disc seems to be hit or miss. While some songs sound improved, others don't. Case in point: Boy-Girl. It sounds worse than the other songs here, and the volume is noticeably lower.

Oh well, I'm not too fond of that one anyway.
