Rock Instrumental Tracks For Audio Component Testing and Evaluation.
Sonic Grade: F
Harry Pearson calls this absolutely the best sounding rock record ever made.
We cannot agree with HP as to the recording quality of this album. The sound is surprisingly compressed, and the music is every bit as lifeless as the sound.
If you don’t know anything about rock music, this is the kind of rock music you like. Harry knew nothing about rock, just check out the TAS List while he was still in charge and see how many real rock albums could be found there back in the day. He mistook these lame instrumentals for actual music with good sound, and they are neither.
