Rock On DJ
The Tribute

Click on an image to listen to sample. Gray being the not-so-good sample and Orange being the better.




Let me first explain my rating system. "Not something I'll listen to in my car" is something around the range of 1 to 3 on a scale of 10. "A good choice" is around the range of 4 to 7 on a scale of 10. Lastly, "Definitely worth your time and money" being rated with an 8 or higher.

Okay... now the review. On my scale, this album is "Not something I'll listen to in my car" or a 3 in this case. I posted a sample of the best track on the album and a sample of a bad track, which is about the rest of the album.

Why? Firstly, the 3 was me being generous since the DJ is not the most experienced in the world. The bass is way too deep to hear the treble and the lyrics to most if not all of the songs. You would have no idea what the people are singing about in the song if you did not either listen very intently or know the lyrics in the first hand. Also, when the DJ ends a song and introduces the next track, he simply crossfades the songs. This method would usually work if you put songs that matches each other in some way, but this DJ simply puts the songs in random order and the transitions as a result sound really bad.


The overall album may be a "3", but track 9 I'll have to give a "4" because it does not have lyrics that you can't understand and because if the bass was weaker and the song's clarity was better, this would be a good song.

Conclusion: A good selection of old tracks to mix, but overall not too upbeat to be enjoyed the way it was meant. Not the best music to drive to.

MY terminology and everything may be wrong, but... Oh wells. I listen to listen because I enjoy this genre of music, my lingo may be off so feel free to correct me.
