Hi guys, just a few responces. Mike <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:- > What am I trying to say?! Oh yeah: let's > agree to disagree sometimes.
I agree! I'll just say to some people that I think that TLOG is as good as it can be considering there is no new material and Joni has lost some vocal power. I don't know if anyone else could have pulled it off as well. It is what it is and I'm glad she's done it because it shoes how strong these songs are and I'm surprised how much I like it. If she had done an album of re-records aiming to sound like the originals then I would not me impressed. Also I actually prefer some of these versions! In saying all this I don't mean to ignore negative reviews so don't think I'm being preachy because everyone should have their say. > As for JOB, I think it's better than the original. > I like the choir, which has a timeless, nationless, > mysterious quality.

It's funny because listening to some of these songs make me forget about the originals. Though this is not true with all of them.

I think his playing is great and gives her sonngs (new and old) a real element of surprise. Just listen to 'Moon At The Window'.
