Music reviews of The Who: The Ultimate Collection

Music Review: Magnificent Collection but extremely bad remastering
Rating: 1 Stars

I am very new to the Who. I thought that Ultimate Collection was an excellent intro the their music. I loved the music and their unique sound and style. What I found out right away was that the remastering was done at an extremely high volume. This resulted in that the sound on many of the songs was muffled and distorted, especially on the Who's Next songs where the bass guitar was used so much. The sound of the bass guitar was very distorted. The day after I bought the collection I ran out and bought the Who's Next album on vinyl, and oh boy what a difference. The overall sound on these CDs was very distorted because of the bad remastering. So much of the playing and singing was muffled and distorted. The sound on the vinyl was really great. I regret buying this collection and not the Very Best of collection instead.
Well, nonetheless, this collection certainly has inspired me to get more of the Who's great music. But I want to advise people to get the older remastered Very Best collection of instead of this.

Description of The Who: The Ultimate Collection

This fully comprehensive 2CD collection charts the career of one of the most significant and formidable bands of all time. All tracks have been 24-bit digitally remastered.
The Who's mighty catalog of beautiful, poignant, and often silly pop songs bashed out with Cassius Clay finesse has suffered in the past at the hands of multiple, butcher-shop best-ofs and horrible packaging. But this thrilling band--undeniably one of ye classicke rocke's greatest--gets the career-spanning entry-point compilation it deserves with the double-disc Ultimate Collection. The songs included here are no-brainers, for the most part--if they aren't huge hits like "My Generation," "I Can See for Miles," or "Baba O'Riley," they're long-standing fan favorites such as "Boris the Spider," "Pure and Easy," and "Squeeze Box." And while this reviewer wishes different songs were chosen from Tommy, and more than one tune was gathered from their arguably finest (and definitely silliest) album, The Who Sell Out, this record really isn't for fans (aside from the total trainspotter types) but for newcomers. --Mike McGonigal
