Jeff Beck - Emotion & Commotion?

This is a very bad release.

The proper sports analogy is "running for the bus".

Maybe he owed his label one more album on the contract.

Mabe two. The "Jeff" release had some of the worst crap I've ever heard. I think some of it would have been perfect pinball machine music. Grease Monkey was the title I think. There were a couple good tracks, but otherwise it was ear-bleed. Or maybe it was "limp-ear". Hmmm.

I figured it out- mainly ear-bleed, with some limp-ear tossed in for good measure! ;-)

Well I liked it first play, but had to go through 3 boxes at Best Buy to get one that didn't have a broken hinge. Cheap box, Good Recording, Good performance 2 out of 3 ain't bad.

I still haven't bought it yet due to the roughly 50% -50% split on opinions on this disc, some say great, some say it's not so great.

Would you say it is comparable to Peter Gabriel's - Scratch My Back which also has an orchestra? I really like that cd.And specifically , is the sound quality of the Jeff Beck cd good?You guy's have thrown me off here with your varied opinions.

If you like Jeff Beck, it may be worth a shot. The opinions you're reading here are just that, opinions.

I happen to think Jeff Beck is one of rock's true legends. I have all of his collaborative and solo albums from "Having a Rave Up" forward.

But this album is not my cup of tea.
