Every couple of months I find myself trying to give this release another shot, I mean it can't be that bad, right? 
It starts off fine with the SFX in the title track and updated drums. That said, by the time Word on a Wing comes on, I'm usually ready to switch back to the original stereo mix.
The ultra compressed vocals just keep on pounding with no room to breathe and the re-done/brightened drums get irritating quick.
Whatever does come through from the rears is just reverb- must be one of the most unimaginative mixes I've heard. Coupled with mind boggling amounts of compression/limiting, this one should best serve as a coaster. Here's hoping this was my last time trying to get into it!
Gets a generous 4 from me, just for the title track.
