At a certain point, bad taste and bombast becomes so excessive and so grandiose that they're no longer an easily dismissed irritation but an astonishing monument to the warped imagination. Such a monument is Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell, the long-delayed sequel to 1977's Bat Out of Hell. Once again songwriter/producer Jim Steinman has isolated high-school parking-lot aphorisms and inflated them to Wagner-on-Broadway proportions, casting Mr. Loaf as a heavy-metal Ezio Pinza. Typical of the album's strategy is its big hit single, "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)." Steinman piles on the guitars, drums, synthesizers, and choral voices as if he were Phil Spector producing Kiss playing the Who songbook. The rest of the album tackles the themes of teenage lust, frustration, and rock & roll fantasies in similar fashion. It's somehow beside the point to complain about the puerile lyrics, the leaden rhythms, the derivative melodies, the histrionic vocals, or the overblown arrangements. Steinman knows how to push his audience's buttons, and with Meat Loaf's help, he hits those buttons with a sledgehammer. --Geoffrey Himes

Great Rock & Roll.......2007-07-23

I love this CD. I had the tape and listened to it until it wouldn't play any more. The song content may not be appropriate for kids but the beat and the melody I think out weigh the content if you are an adult.

Good music but..........2006-12-04

The music on the CD is defiantly a A Bat Out Of Hell Series Classic but the overall quality of the sound is sad; I felt as if my Bose 501 speakers had a bowl of Rice Krispies inside and as soon as I played the Bat Out Of Hell 3 their was a noticeably pleasant sound coming from the speakers;Quality!each Cd was purchased from Amazon,NEW...

For love.......2006-11-29

For some reason, people ask me - and I'm not kidding - "What is it that Meat Loaf won't do for love?"

So here's the list:

HE WON'T:

* Lie to you (and that's a fact)
* Never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way
* Forgive himself if you don't go all the way tonight
* Ever do it better than he does it with you (so long, so long)
* Ever stop dreaming of you every night of his life (no way)
* Forget everything and "see that it's time to move on"
* Let it all turn to dust so we'll all fall down
* Be screwing around

For those of you really curious about the inner workings of his heart and level of commitment, here's what he will, in fact, do for love...

HE WILL:

* Run right into Hell and back
* take a vow and seal a pact
* be there til the final act
* do anything you've been dreaming of
* Raise you up and help you down
* Get you right out of this Godforsaken town
* Make it all a little less cold
* Hold you sacred and hold you tight
* Colorize your life because you're so sick of black and white
* make it all a little less old
* make you some magic with his own two hands
* build you an emerald city from grains of sand
* give you something you can take home
* cater to every fantasy you got
* hose you down with holy water if you get too hot
* take you places you've never known

*all items listed are from the Meat Loaf song "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" from the album Bat Out of Hell 2

Bat 2 is great not as good as ba1 or bat 2 though.but still 5 star cd........2006-11-09

To me the first 6 songs are what make the album.After that the album gets sloppy.But the first 6 songs are an 50 minutes and something of music.And they are great songs.

Amazon rose its price.......2006-11-04

I just bought it here 1 week ago and its price was $ 6.99

More than 3.5 million debut records sold are enough to stuff any band from Lowestoft, UK, with a follow up full of bohemian rhapsody, and with one-time Queen producer Roy Thomas Baker in tow, the Darkness has managed to parcel its sophomore effort with notoriously ogress riffs and (Freddie) Mercurial bravado. Led by audacious (and high-octave) singer Justin Hawkins, the foursome channels the pompous arena rock of the late-seventies with flaunting glam bands like Slade and T-Rex, parading mellotrons, flugelhorns, sitars and saxophones into a bawdy mix already conquered by double-barrel Gibsons and layered vocals. While the assemblage of power ballads ("Dinner Lady Arms," "Hazel Eyes") hearkens back to mid-eighties MTv, the Darkness brightens the play list with hook-heavy rockers like "Is It Just Me," "Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time" and "Girlfriend." And with a sarcastic spirit and stretch-limo approach, there's no telling whom the band might round up to produce its third record. Is George Martin available? --Scott Holter

Album Description

The Darkness return with their second album, One Way Ticket To Hell...And Back. Everything you've heard is true. All of it. The exhaustion and the fear, the pressure, paranoia and pan pipes, the breakdowns and break-ups, the sackings, sitar solos and endless studio sessions and now ultimately-with this, their second album-the rebirth and redemption of The Darkness.

Moved to review.......2007-06-18

I've recently pulled out my copy of "One Way Ticket to Hell...And Back" to verify a few parts of the title track (which I have been singing (apparently successfully) at karaoke (GASP!)). Though I've always enjoyed this album, I was surprised to find out how much better the album is than I remembered. "Dinner Lady Arms", with its "sensitive" verses full of chiming guitars and '80s-on-the-Sunset-Strip chords (not to mention its Boston-styled acoustic-guitar-chugging-next-to-stacks-of-Marshalls and über-harmonies) should be a summer single, and has been treated as such in my car stereo. "Knockers" is a fun number (that does *not* refer to, um, blinkers) that seems to best recall the first album. "Is It Just Me?" and the title track are fist-raising numbers that must absolutely kick solid a** live (because they do a fine job of it on album), and "English Country Garden" is just manic. Anyone wanting catchy choruses, walls of guitars and well-prepared basslines (not to mention excellently-recorded drums) come right here.

But what REALLY prompted me to write a review were other reviewers' comments that The Darkness does not surpass their influences. I want to put a stop to this before another GREAT band is basically ruined in an attempt to become truly "original". Safely put, "original" flew out the window when everybody and their dog saw their back catalogue released on CD. Lindsey Buckingham was taking inspiration from the Everly Brothers on the verses to "Go Your Own Way", Boston's Tom Scholz has admitted to being inspired by the James Gang's "Tend My Garden" for his classic "More Than a Feeling", Marvin Gaye's smash single "What's Goin' On" was stalled by the brass at Motown because they thought it was too "old hat" for their scene ("Nobody does scat anymore!"), and no one will ever convince me that '80s hair metal bands such as Poison and Motley Crüe didn't take a page from '70s glam (and not only in fashion). The reason why these bands/artists were considered original (as compared to maybe the Darkness) is that their influences were kept relatively obscure (I mean, come on, how many youth today know of "Tend My Garden"?). Today's discerning listener knows of Slade, Boston and Queen beforehand (not to mention many a band who've unsuccessfully tried to match this powerful trio). But please LAY OFF The Darkness for being "unoriginal"! I will fully proclaim my Revisionist's Cry of "Recognize the good, eschew the bad, and make it better this time around!" And that is a challenge to which I feel The Darkness answer in spades. And to add to that the fact that they are often tongue-in-cheek, it makes their harmonized operatic falsetto vocal parts and bent-note guitarmonies (check out that "WHOOMWHOOMwhoomwhoom" effect little over a quarter into the solo of "Dinner Lady Arms" after the orgasmic squeal of three guitars in one... sheer genius, whoever recognized that one) even MORE appealing. This is an album that took time and effort to create, and just like the first Boston album, all that sweat paid off. The reason why I am not giving it five stars is because half the album has yet to plant itself into my memory (I'm too busy listening to the other half), but this is already two to four great songs more than a lot of '80s hair band albums... and would you give Boston's "Don't Look Back" anything less than four stars, even if Side 2 is undercooked? Didn't think so. RAWK ON!

A Throwback to Rock Glory.......2007-05-14

With the driving guitar riffs and screeching vocals, The Darkness represents a throwback to the glory days of bands such as AC-DC and Van Halen. This is excellent music to drive fast to, or to work out to. I discovered after being pulled in by their one big recent hit "I Believe in a Thing Called Love" from their album "Permission to Land". After hearing the tracks on this album, I realized I had stumbled on a hidden gem of a band.

They should have broken up after Permission to Land.......2007-04-25

I read somewhere that The Darkness almost broke up after the success of their first CD. They should have if this is their idea of a follow-up. Where did the fun and great riffs of Permission to Land go? These songs are awful. They wander round and round and never go anywhere. Instead of the silly lyrics of the first CD, sometimes here they try to sound serious and end up sounding ridiculous. The music is trying hard to be Queen but that's a unique style and hard to pull off. The Darkness come away sounding as if they have no idea how to write a song. They should have stuck to the straight ahead approach they employed for Permission to Land. This was one of the worst music purchases I ever made.

A vast improvement over Permission to Land.......2007-02-20

I was skeptical about this CD at first as I had listened to The Darkness' first album, Permission to Land, and didn't care for it at all. With this album, however, The Darkness has grown on me and I highly recommend it -- especially to fans of Queen. At times I get the feeling they're actually channeling Queen through their harmonies, Dan Hawkins' guitar, and Justin Hawkins' falsetto. You'll either love the falsetto or hate it, but you'll have to admit the guy's got talent! My favorite track is 'Hazel Eyes,' which has a sort of Celtic-gone-wild feel to it.

Great Sohpmore Effort.......2007-01-10

I love this album, but don't really know why. The Darkness once again takes their Sweet meets Queen sound and comes up with an album of songs that simply will not leave your head. The Queen comparisons are even stronger on this disc as long time Queen Producer Roy Thomas Baker does the production chores on the album. Instrumentally these guys are nothing spectacular, but put all of the parts in the right places in order to come up with a winning formula. The band never takes itself too seriously and some of the songs, such as "Knockers" and "Bald" are hilarious. The title track rocks with a song about cocaine (band leader Justin Hawkins recently entered rehab for his problem with it. "English Country Garden", "Hazel Eyes", "Blind Man" "Is It Just Me", "Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time" are all solid rock songs. Justin Hawkins uses his upper register falsetto more on this album than on the first, and your mileage will vary as to whether you find it annoying or enduring. Overall I really enjoy this disc, and it is a great one to crank up in your car.

A Splendid Souvenir to Remember a Spectacular Performance!.......2003-10-30

Having been fortunate to have seen the English National Opera's production in 1988 of "Orpheus" with Wilson and Pountney's outrageously naughty English text, this highlight CD serves as an audio souvenir. Too bad the ENO didn't have the foresight to film the production-would have made a great DVD. The CD booklet does have a few photos of the sets designed by Gerald Scarfe (who also designed Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album artwork) so you get a taste, combined with the CD selections, of what the production was like.

god moves in a peculiar way.........i am god.............2002-01-17

Offenbach is great anyhow, but this recording is riotous. The translation into English is first-rate, really funny stuff, and the singing is pretty good, too. Very worthwhile.

Orpheus in the Underworld.......2000-03-17

The rewritten lyrics, in English, are some of the wittiest and wicked in operetta. Wilson and Pountney have recaptured the spirit of naughtiness, not a small accomplishment in our licentious times. Though delighted to have the highlights, I wished a CD set or video of the full production were available.

Excerpts.......1999-12-23

This is a collection of excerpts. It is in English and is quite good. The performance of the entire operetta has been discontinued and it is a pity.

Highlights or total Opera?.......1999-11-01

I would like to know if this is highlights from the opera or the total opera.

This N**** is off the hook, Drag-On is one of them rappers
that says sothing in one verse of a song and then flip the skip on the 2nd and 3rd.

Cop this Album you won't be disagree with this.

2nd album is decent --- probably 3.5 stars.......2005-09-28

After almost 4 years since his solo debut and after a quiet break, Drag is back with a decent album, slightly lower quality then his debut. It has 14 songs, no classic, 1 almost classic, 8 are good, 4 are ok, and 1 I skip. Guests are on about half of the songs. The production is ok (as expected, as I haven't heard of most of the producers on here), Tuneheadz do 2 songs, Swizz Beats, Mr. Devine, neo, Needlz, Rockwilder, Teflon and 5 people I never heard of all do 1 song. If you're a fan of his cop it otherwise it''s 50/50 if I'd recommedn it or not, his debut is better.

#2 - 9.5 (tight beat & good, deep, fiery lyrics -- best song on here)
#3 - 7.5 (f/ Swizz Beats)
#5 - 8.5 (nice street song)
#6 - 8 (f/ Jadakiss -- nice party/club track)

Drag is underrated, but the album is ok.......2005-08-13

First off, if you dont like dmx's voice or style of rap this cd is not for you. I think of drag-on as a little brother to dmx. his flow is good and unique. he has a couple good party songs on here such as, " Bang bang boom, put your drinks down, tell youre friends and holla at your boy." songs 15 -17 are songs on the album that are dark, personal, and emotional, always a good thing. and last he has 1 pretty good song " Im a ryder with baby. If your looking for a cd with good party songs and a couple dark, emotional ones than I reccomend you pick up this sleeper.

You better call up Stoupe from the Jedi Mind.......2005-02-07

Well Drag On is one of those rappers that fits well on mix tape type stuff and looks terrible on albums he has talent but it is not the talent you need on albums it is that Battle rap talent but that does not carry well when that is your only style."Feel my Pain" is a average track with a pretty nice beat."Respect My Gangsta" would get about a 7 and it is a good street mix tape feel to it."Tell your friends" he spits something that is not totally to wack.Unfortunately out of the First 11 tracks there are 3 4 that okay like the song "Lets get crazy" which featured DMX."Holla at your boy" is a good mix tape track again but is nothing to special."My First Child" offers the one track of a little storytellin which is always good for a album of this type."It's a party" is kind of boring but has a nice beat I guess to it."U had me Pt II" sucks. On this album there were 5 that could fit on a mix tape 1 that could fit on a album and 8 that were not that good. The album also lacks a good song. The One good thing about is that if he were on a stoupe track this may be pretty hot. He has no talent on this type of rap at all and should stick to staying on other people's stuff.If this were the NFL draft he would be a 5th round pick.
Lyrics 5 Production 5 X Factor 7 Classic 5 Replay 3
Overall- well it is 5 out of 10 Fingers shows potential but it just does not fit the rap landscape at this time.

Not Much.......2004-11-11

Don't kid yourself people this is a less than average album, there aren't even that many songs worth name recognition, because there isn't much that you can actually sit down and listen to. Put Your Drinks Down, Let's Get Crazy, Tell Your Friends, and Respect My Gangsta are the only good songs on here. Drag-On isn't my favorite Ruff Ryder rapper anyway, so go and get Walk Witt Me or Kiss The Game Goodbye instead and forget about this.

At a certain point, bad taste and bombast become so excessive and so grandiose that they're no longer an easily dismissed irritation but an astonishing monument to warped imagination. Such a monument is Meat Loaf's Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell, the long-delayed sequel to 1977's Bat out of Hell. Once again songwriter-producer Jim Steinman has isolated high-school parking-lot aphorisms and inflated them to Wagner-on-Broadway proportions, casting Mr. Loaf as a heavy-metal Ezio Pinza. Typical of the album's strategy is its big hit single, "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)." Steinman piles on the guitars, drums, synthesizers, and choral voices as if he were Phil Spector producing Kiss playing the Who songbook. The rest of the album tackles the themes of teenage lust, frustration, and rock & roll fantasies in similar fashion. It's somehow beside the point to complain about the puerile lyrics, the leaden rhythms, the derivative melodies, the histrionic vocals, or the overblown arrangements. Steinman knows how to push his audience's buttons, and with Meat Loaf's help, he hits those buttons with a sledgehammer. --Geoffrey Himes

Worth getting just for the remastered sound........2007-05-15

While I realize that the 1st Bat out of Hell album is regarded more highly than the 2nd album, Bat out of Hell 2: Back into Hell will always be my personal favorite of the 2 as well as my favorite Meat Loaf album of all time.

Origianlly released in 1993, this release put Meat Loaf back on top of the music world after a massive slump (especially here in the states) during the 80's in which most people had forgotten about him and written him off as a has been or a one album wonder.

Composer Jim Steinman (who also arranged everything) took over production duties on this album and it is just pure unadulterated Steinman. This is what Steinman's 1980 solo album Bad to be Good (which was supposed to be the true followup to Bat out of Hell) might have been like in terms of quality if Meat Loaf hadn't gotten strung out on drugs and lost his singing voice for a short time.

I can't really say much more positive about this album that people haven't already done on the multitude of reviews for the regular CD. Truly great music and it never fails to get me in a good mood when listening to it as well, which I can't say that about a lot of music. While the songs are very long at times, they never outstay their welcome.

Anyway, the main purpose of my review is to review the 2002 reissue (or deluxe edition) of the 1993 album.

While I had had the original 1993 CD since it came out, I was always a bit let down by the mastering job on the CD. The overall volume could have been done a bit higher and the album just lacked a certain punch in terms of the overall audio at times. This is especially surprising since by 1993 pretty much CD had completely taken over by that point and people had figured out how to properly master stuff for CD audio as well. The CD didn't sound bad per se, but it could've been done better at the same time.

This 2002 deluxe edition fixes all of the mastering issues I had by doing a 24 bit digital remastering of the album. All I can say is that my jaw was on the floor as to how much better the album sounds now. In fact, it finally sounds perfect!

the overall volume level now maxes out without having any digital clipping issues and the overall sound just sounds more vibrant with more clarity between all of the instruments/vocal parts. There is more punch to the low end as well without the mix being altered. Basically, this album now sounds absolutely perfect and this is the way the CD should have been mastered in the first place.

The 2nd CD is pretty much pointless and redundant as it just feautres edited single versions of album tracks along with some remixes. No live cuts are present which should have been included as well. I guess this is cool from a historical/completist viewpoint, but no one will ever listen to Disc 2 for the most part.

But I bought this mainly due to the remastered sound and in that respect I wasn't disappoitned. If you are an audiophile and like to have the absolute best sounding version of your favorite albums (or classic releases like this), then you owe it to yourself to upgrade to this deluxe edition if you are as big of a fan of Bat out of Hell 2 as I am.

Highly recommended!

You will love it.......2003-10-04

Mr. Himes is a great wordsmith but he knows nothing about good music. If you like Meatloaf you'll love this collection.

I'm in the Room at the Top, You're at the End of the Line.......2003-07-09

I had owned the 1993 Bat out of Hell 2 album for many years, since high school, and to this this day I can never get tired of any of the songs! Jim Steinman is a genius when it comes to grand rock bombast, and in this remastered release, the sound quality is better than ever. As far as the 2nd CD goes, I like the first couple of edited songs, especially the Radio Edited "I'd Do Anything for Love," since that was the one that hooked me to Meatloaf in the first place. Still, I'll always enjoy listening to the full 12-minute version more.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!!.......2003-05-03

There is nothing else in popular music that comes close to equalling this masterpiece!!!! If nothing else, BAT OUT OF HELL II: BACK INTO HELL is worth buying for the first two tracks, "I'd Do Anything Fo Love (But I Won't Do That)" and "Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back" and for "Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are". Everything about the songs is overblown but that's the point about it; the first BAT OUT OF HELL notwithstanding, there has never been anything like this in popular music before or since!!!! The songs and the sound quality are excellent, and despite being 10-12 minutes in length, "I'd Do Anything For Love..." and "Objects In The Rear View Mirror..." are worth listening to all the way through!!!! The Deluxe Edition remasters the original album while adding a bonus disc with multiple single edits and remixes of four tracks ("I'd Do Anything...", "Life Is A Lemon...", "Objects In The Rear View..." and "Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through"). Go back into hell with BAT OUT OF HELL II!!!!!

Amazing.......2003-02-26

This album is one I've enjoyed for years. The soaring vocals, the different depths of music, its really an enjoyable experience. The songs stay with you long after you stop listening. There's a lot more going on musically in this one cd than any of the new artists that are out there. A must for everyone.

Great, but no prize.......2002-03-31

The selections from the Ring trilogy, Friends in need and Fallen Angel were excellent, however, some of the special request such as joxer the mighty, seemed a little bit rushed. Wasn't that song on Volume 2 already? Where was M'Lila's song from Destiny, or the music played During the first Kiss in "The Quest"
The cd has its good points, personally "It's Over" from "THAB" with its haunting melodies portraying the consequences of war.

Xena;Warrior Princess volume six.......2002-01-09

I am so happy that the last and final cd has come out, now my collection is complete. I am very sad for the show ending, but I am glad to still collect things.

Great Collection.......2001-12-25

Well, I have them all by now, but this last one is a great collection, with the added bonus of the music from A Friend In Need.
Just another fine addition to my Xena collection!

Exceptional.......2001-11-30

I am a fanatic and devoted Xenite.I have a huge problem:i can't stop listening to that cd,since the first time i listened to it,which means 1 month!That cd is really exceptional and i think that every true and genuine Xenite should buy it!It's really good!I was moved when i heard the Fallen Angel part.I was passioned when i heard the Ring Trilogy!I was astonishing when i heard the bonus cues that were included,especially the cue from The Quill Is Mightier(fishin part),oh,i was completely satisfied!
Though,there is a complain:i can't understand,why after 6 cd's,the producers don't do a cd including cues like:M'laila's song,the cues from the Bacchaen festival,music from Deja Vou All Over Again,where in the end,Gabrielle says to Xena those wonderful words,or even the scene of the kiss in The Quest!That,i can't understand it!
Last, i believe that whoever likes LoDuca's music style,should buy this cd.
Pay attention to the 22 cue:Pas De Deux Femmes.It is one of a something and whoever remembers what's the scene of this song,will agree with me!Mmmm!

A MIX OF THE BEST, THE WORST AND THE MISSING.......2001-11-29

To all truly Xena fans this CD is a must-have but have some lacks... Fun (comedy episodes music) scores destroy the the great combination of FALLEN ANGEL, THE RHEINGOLD TRILOGY AND I FRIEND IN NEED. In the first selections LoDuca creates spectacular high level music good enough to be played in a Symphony orchestra concert. The others selections have easy-to-fill-space western cowboy music instead of put M'Lilas song of DESTINY, Amazon's climbing trees of ADVENTURES IN THE SIN TRADE and NAJARA vs XENA music that would be gladly accepted by us. I doubt the company will launch a next CD but if they'll do this track and another valuable more must be there and the adittion of some famous characters quotes like "I have many skills" from Xena.

Blowing speakers to hell and back.......2005-08-29

The song, Last night, on this cd is one of the first cds I remember I could make our windows shake to. I did blow our family's speakers to this song when I was younger. It doesn't seem easy to find these songs besides on this cd. "Last night" has great bass and a good groove. Thank goodness for Amazon's preview listening. Now, everybody can hear it.

Back home M.C.s grinding trying to make a come up........2003-06-06

Man, we used to bump them back in the day while holding stereo contests. This brings back memories! It's a great album and a perfect example of the TRS-808 capabilities once thumping bass lines were discovered. Great beats combined with lyrics and sampling--I've waited for years to find this on CD.

Much better than the debute!.......2004-01-18

OMG I actually downloaded this album before i bought it.... After I listened to the mp3s i almost immediatly ordered this CD hahaha VERRYY Big improvement over the debute "Beware of the Heavens"! The vocals are amazing! The guitar work is totally killer and Kim sings like she will kick you in the nuts hahaha. Overall VERY good cd... but could be better (hence the 4) Comeon guys you have Alexi I know you can do sooo much better! I await the next cd anxiously :-)

Well written songs from Finland.......2002-09-21

I see Sinergy as a cross between Children of Bodom of Nightwish, and I think most people would agree with that. There is a style that seems to appear in all Finnish metal; mainly fast, symphonic choruses, with European folk roots. I started listening to Sinergy because I am a huge Children of Bodom fan, and I wanted to check out Alexi's other band. The Children are probably my third fav. band behind Maiden and Symphony X. This album is pretty good. I like how the songs are written. Clever melodies just like the Children. If you like the Finnish metal style, Children of Bodom and Nightwish are by far the best. Sinergy has a great sound though. Some people don't like female vocals but I think it is very creative and ads a great flavor to metal.

good gothic metal.......2002-07-10

Good songs and the singer does well for a female doing metal. I could certainly live without her two annoying little scream intros before the first two songs. The band is tight and talented. Reminds me of iced earth only the songs are just better. It strikes me odd though, gothic song after song about "the empire shall be defended, the 4th world is thy magical kingdom, his majestys iron hand hath guided us unto glory" then all of a sudden the last song is some teenage style "oh baby baby...dont leave me hangin on the telephone". Wassup wit dat???

Awesome Metal!!!!!!.......2001-12-18

Heaven and Hell is one of the funnest, well written heavy power metal albums I have heard. The musicianship is outstanding (the Children of Bodem guitar play absolughtly wails!!) and the female vocals are the best since Patt Benitar. Metal lives!!!

sinergy.......2001-12-13

This is a mediocre album at best. The music is ok but the singer really (...) - voice is sloppy. That's what has ruined the whole cd.
