5 out of 5 stars Get Ready............2004-05-02

....for something very different. This would have been a classic if the music market was not so overloaded. A hidden Jewel with fresh ideas on how to present music. For the experienced .... not for rookies.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty Good But Not Really,.......2003-11-03

I am a big GSW fan I saw them ever time they came to Chicago. This album will go down as not being the best album, but it is not the worst album that they could have done. This is probably their most commercial album. I think the main place where I find fault is with the production value. Some of these some are just over produced and it kills the album to a degree. This is true with songs like "Untitled Take Two" or "Don't Tell God". Yet the one place where i cannot fault them is song writing. Despite the lack luster album GSW still comes up with some fun songs that are worthwhile. They include "Red and Milky White" and "Which Way Will She Go". Now I know these songs are not in the same league with "Stranger," "Goodnight Gretchen, "Molly" or even "Goodbye Oklahoma." Yet on the whole this album could have been a lot worse. Yet I will always thing well of this album. What good songs there are enough for me to keep listening to this album.

5 out of 5 stars WE MISS YOU GSW!.......2000-03-11

This CD is filled with well thought out musical ideas and creativity that can only be explored in the studio. This work should not be compared to a live show. The band has graciously supplied us with live CDs as well as the opportunity to record their (sadly missed) shows.

You've gotta love the crispy sounding "Red and Milky White," as well as "RU4 Real," which shines with the energy of early GSW at their best. "Chop!" and "Get on the Train" peak with some steam too. If you're on a liquid journey, "Which Way Will She Go?" is a refreshing enhancement. As long as you're not expecting a live show, prepare yourself for a feast...This work is an excellent lesson for all Jam Bands, ya gotta have good tunes to set up the rippin' jams.

5 out of 5 stars A brilliant ALBUM.......2000-03-08

The complaints mentioned above are the standard (unfounded) putdowns directed towards this album. I too am a strong fan of their live performances, but it is wrong to compare this album to the live setting.

Red was written and recorded during a tumultuous period of the bands existence. They had just recently extracted themselves from a bum deal with the Geffen record label and were extremely frustrated with the music industry as a whole. So what did they do next? They made this album, in their own home, without a label contract. They had complete freedom in the creation of this album, entirely void of industry pressure. It was released indendently for a few months before Mercury Records signed the band and began to distribute it. Red contains brilliant, vivid, and painful songwriting. The effects used on this album reinforce the frustrations. The fact that these effects are difficult to reproduce live is part of the reason why some fans hate this album. Yet still, some fun concert staples are found on the album such as Get on the Train and Chop! If you want a live performance, listen to a concert recording, they are freely traded among fans. If you want a brilliant, uncompromised album from my favorite live band, check out Red.
