CD Reviews

Rock rock till you drop
Brent E. Johnson | Naches, WA | 08/29/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Interesting thing about music. 1,000 people and the same amount of differing opinions. I think remixing or remastering or whatever, helped this album a lot. The Elefante produced version was pretty thin sounding, losing some of the crunch, especially in the lower registers. No knock on the Pakaderm bros. but I love the remastering. The sound overall is very and I mean very, def leppardish, circa Pyromania. The new song is decent, leans a little more AC/DC and has the swagger this kind of rock should come with. And after this many years it was a blast to hear this again and remember when good 80's rock had that swagger. I would have given it 4 stars but I wanted to balance the 3 star review. A good hard driving straight ahead old school metal album. Buy it."
Not really as described

"First of all, I am an X-sinner fan and have been for years, but this release was not what I expected. It was described as a re-recording of the original Peace Treaty album, because they were not satisfied with that release. I was expecting something like Whitecross did with their 1987 re-recording. Same songs, but they obviously started from scratch. This sounded much more like the original recordings with some guitar tracks overdubbed on them. While it improves the weakest two songs from Peace Treaty (Getch Ya, and Peer Pressure); the overdubs are overdone on Gotta Let Go. Take this disc for what it is: a Remix. If your old Cassette of Peace treaty is worn out like mine was, this is a suitable replacement that won't cost you $25-$30 like on Ebay. But, they obviously owe a lot more to Pakaderm Records and the Elefante brothers than they give them credit for, since the tracks they were dissatisfied with sound basically the same now. Anyway, Peace Treaty was a good, but not great disc, and this one is roughly the same. But I was happy to hear the annoying "Hey Kid, Get ovaa Heeaa" was removed from the intro to Peer Pressure." Given all that, however, I would still recommend it."
