5.0 out of 5 stars Influential, haunting, but with a beat, August 12, 2007

By	Teresa Heinrich (Morgan Hill, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Howard DeVoto's post-Buzzcock's venture that combines Ultravox, Tuxedomoon, and Roxy Music (listen to the solo at 2:22 in "Shot by Both Sides" and then listen to Roxy Music's "In Every Dream Home A Heartache"). Incredible, influential album.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Album, Unexceptional Reissue, September 20, 2008

By	Nicholas Wilhelmy (La Crosse, WI USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are some remasters that significantly improve the sound quality over the original CD's release (The Cure, Jesus & Mary Chain); some remasters actually sound worse than the originals (Siouxsie and The The's immediately come to mind); and then there are some that are just unremarkable. Don't get me wrong: the Magazine remasters sound fine, the audio quality just isn't a huge leap forward from what was on the original CDs. On top of that, the bonus tracks that are offered are all available elsewhere.

Bottom line: If you're a die-hard Magazine fan, you probably have all the tracks that are on here, and chances are slim you'll notice a difference in sound. If you're new to Magazine and are looking for a good place to start, don't think twice about picking this up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much darker than the Buzzcocks, very original
In my view the standout here is "Shot By Both Sides", but that's because it was still co-written by Pete Shelley and might as well be a Buzzcocks song. Read more
