3.0 out of 5 stars
Should have just been two discs of the 80s tracks, April 19, 2008
This review is from: Highlights 1979 to 2004 (Audio CD)
In an attempt to make a career retrospective, John Watts has given us a 'sampler' of songs from every album he recorded with Fischer-Z and solo. Problem is, people who were into the new wave Fischer-Z sound of the 80s were not likely to follow Watts into the 90s alt rock feel, so this two disc set is not likely to truly appease anyone completely. I DO like that the 80s catalog begins and ends on disc 1, so I never have to play disc 2 at all, but since Fischer-Z albums are hard to come by on CD, it would have been great if this had been two discs worth of much of their 80s catalog. My other real problem here is that "Need You", a song I specifically bought this collection for, was clearly mastered from VINYL. There are noticeable snaps and pops on the track throughout the song!
