This review is from: Crazy Beat (Audio CD)

This cd includes "Crazy Beat" album version, which is a great uptempo track with a great guitar riff, sample and fat beat which was produced by Fatboy Slim. If you dont own "think tank" blur's latest release, well, the rest of the cd is nothing like this song. ( for a more adequate previez of what the cd sounds like listen to the second single "out of time")

I found the alternative video of "crazy beat" included really boring. It starts out interesting, but it never picks up. Photography is nowhere near amazing, the action is tedious, and not entertaining. The only curious thing that keeps your attention is the band either pretending to playing another song or just pretending to play offtempo, or just fooling around.

"Don't be" would be only reason to get this cd, if you already own "think tank." The track has a slight different feel than the rest of the songs in the LP, yet it still has that gloomy atmosphere and "gorillaz-remniscent" production the cd has. It features great lyrics and a great brass arrangement. I really believe this could have been a great track on the cd. Could have "lightened up" the tank.

Because only 1 out of 3 items in here is worth it, if you are not a collector, youre better off buying this when the price is a little lower or its released nationally... or you could always buy it used on amazon.
