Unlike JLA: Year One; this is a well written and thought out story of two of my favorite DC heroes! This has one of the writers(Mark Waid) and the artist of JLA: Year One, and came out around the same time. Where JLAY1 had potential but ended up as kind of a mess, this one DELIVERS! It certainly isn't the deepest story ever; but it captures the fun of GL and Flash, and really shines a light on the fact that these guys are one of comics best odd-couple. You get the Hon Solo/like superhero of Hal Jordan, and the straight-edge all-american hero Barry Allen who makes friends with everyone he rescues. For some reason, that even they cant figure out, they are best friends who go on crazy adventures together. These stories range form some of their first hang-outs, to when they are close friends, who support each other through some very tough times. You learn more about these guys and their struggles through life, the legends they try to live up to, and what keeps them grounded. I'd say this is great for anyone who is even slightly interested in these characters, and obviously for big fans of the two! A quick read and you get a nice recap of each of their personal histories.

Simple Plan continues to make awesome music with this gold mine here. Every song is very listenable and worth the attention.  Anyone who thinks I'm wrong might need to read this review, and listen to it once more to see if it will actually change their mind:

Another time, every single song is a 5/5. WOW!!! I must really enjoy reviewing excellent albums.

Greetings,

For the low price, you can't go wrong if you are open to new sounds.

This is an invigorating album. very enjoyable to listen to- similar to small pipes or concertina.
Hat's off to the guy for going for it, and making such a listenable recording.

This is a live recording where for me everything goes and sounds just right. I attend more London Philharmonic Orchestra concerts at the Royal Festival Hall than any others in London but I missed this one, maybe because although the LPO remains my favourite of the five orchestras in the capital I didn't particularly fancy Eschenbach as a Bruckner conductor - but I was wrong so to think.

The LPO has a great performing tradition, having been very successful under conductors such as Tennstedt and now Jurowski especially live, and to my ears it makes an increasingly a beautiful sound, one to rival the greatest orchestras worldwide. The sound quality of the refurbished RFH serves it well, too: it is deep and mellow, reflecting my experience of sitting high and central.

This is not a reading as swift and driven as another favourite recording by Sawallisch, nor is it as marmoreal as Klemperer's grand account but it is immediately apparent that Eschenbach takes a high energy approach, his conception being strong on unity and direction and all of a piece, blending all four movements into a coherent, cogent entity.

The first movement is perfectly shaped and controlled, building to a very satisfying climax; the Adagio unfolds so smoothly and nobly, building to the most hushed and poised conclusion; the Scherzo has martial attack and precision, framing a Trio of delicate charm. Some have found the Finale wanting; I do not, but find that Eschenbach melds what can be diffuse and episodic material into a seamless, graceful progression towards a triumphant apogee.

Should you have liked Gentle Giant, most likely this will delight you. The sound is simular, more complex, perhaps a bit more edgey, rich and quite enjoyable. There are no extended solos here but there are some very  intricate instrumental and vocal interplays and the musicians are top  notch.

This album is just as good as the last, each song gives you the feel good feeling through your entire body. The great part about it is that they sound just as good in concert. I have seen them 20 times and each concert is something different. I look forward to listening to this album on the way home from the next concert of their. I just don't ever get tired of hearing them.

Ignore every bit of sniping in this thread about Pollini being too restrained, etc. There is a good reason why this recording is still in the catalogue and that is because it is as good as you will get. Phenomenal technique, intelligent interpretation, but no over the top idiocies attempting to prove what a genius the player is. This recording is never dull, and commands your attention from the first note to the last.
