THE BROTHERS GIBBS
ROCK/POP LEGENDS MY RATING 50 STARS AWESOME.


A sympathy purchase
One disc is much better than the other, but the oldies are indeed goodies and I'm glad I bought it. I found myself wanting a collection of BEE GEE hits, after the untimely death of Maurice.


If you love the Bee Gees
Love this CD. If you love the Bee Gees then this is a MUST BUY.


another casualty in the CD loudness wars
"I've Gotta Get a Message to You", "Lonely Days" and "To Love Somebody" are essential listening. It is tough, tough, tough to quibble with the music here. "How Deep Is Your Love", "Love So Right" and "Love You Inside Out" are more than just guilty pleasures, they're great tunes. The comp could be a little more expansive, giving us better and needed insight into the early and pre-1975 Bee Gees, such as "Mr. Natural" and "Morning of My Life". Not huge hits, but then not everything here is either. The new recordings of Gibb brother-penned tunes that were hits for others could *easily* be jettisoned in favor of the above mentioned tunes.

However, the biggest complaint with this set is undeniably its VOLUME LEVEL. In a futile effort to keep with industry "standards", the alleged mastering engineer raises the volume to ridiculous and unnecessarily loud levels. The dynamic range is literally compressed away, with excessive noise reduction applied to eliminate the resulting increased hiss. All of this overprocessing kills the "breath" in the mixes and life in the performances, resulting in a very unspectacular, one-dimensional listening experience. Give me tape hiss and natural volume peaks anyday over this. This music deserves better.


The Bee Gees
You know, the 3 brothers Gibb that are masters of harmony! Nothing ever sounded so sweet to the ears. What's not to love! This is the Bee Gee's.
