Rating: 4.5/5
Reviewer: JP

Year-end wrap-up: Each of the last few years to wrap up the year I have picked a theme for my reviews for December. This year due to the overwhelming number of CD’s that deserve exposure, recognition and commentary I am going to resort to quantity over quality. I usually try to give as much attention to each CD with extensive commentary however this month’s reviews (perhaps unfortunately) will be short and sweet and much more in the style of traditional magazine reviews where space restrictions are an important factor. (ie. Less detail) I apologize in advance to readers who expect much more detailed reviews. Please check the reviews archives as many of my colleagues have written excellent detailed commentary of many of these CD’s. I hope the large number of quick comments will help guide you making some of those important year-end CD purchase decisions. Happy Holidays and see you in January. JP



This is really cool. An old, long-time favorite gets upgraded and many cool bonus tracks! This is a rerecording of Stay Hungry with new art, better sound, cool packaging and liner notes. It includes bonus tracks of stuff from 1984 and new songs from this year. As a fan who knows every note on this CD it was fun to hear the subtle differences in the drumming, vocal inflections, the little changes here and there. The seven extra cuts make it totally worth picking up this CD and serves as a nice re-introduction to a band that has been gone far too long.
