Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'd like to take a shot of explaining why this is a two star value at best. For the casual fan that does not have any of these releases on Blu-ray this is a good deal at $124 . It is a lot of money if you ask me, but if you think you can get people to buy this, then go for it it. For the hard-core rush fans, this thing contains a bunch of stuff that we have had for a while or bought last year. What is so new or different to make us buy it again ? Snakes and arrows and R30 , which were near perfect releases on Blu-ray, have nothing new here. There is no way that you could possibly improve these two releases anyway. It also contains the Time Machine and Clckwork Angels Blu-rays, and both have some sound issues. Time Machine is boomy and is mixed poorly in some spots. Clockwork Angels is an audio disaster. The entire show is boomy and mixed very poorly. If anyone thinks that Clockwork sounds good on this release, then they should have their ears checked. Rush should be extremely embarrassed by the sound of this Blu-ray. It's like Vapor Trails all over again. If these issues are addressed within this box set , then this would be a three or four star release easily. This release also contains Rush in Rio, which we would all love to have, and it includes the 1997 Molson show, which we would all like to have , but we would like to have the whole 1997 Molson show or most of it. For hard-core fans, this box set just does not offer enough to make it worth $124. For casual fans, go for it. I wouldn't say that this release is a slap in the face to hard-core fans, but I would say that is a bit of a rip off. If some of the sound issues on previous releases are addressed, then this a very good release. This is matter of principle for us. I don't mind buying stuff multiple times, but don't repackage stuff that has issues. Again, if these issues are addressed, I'm all in. I would be proud to pay for something that sounds good. My suggestion for Rush would be to release each blu-ray separately and as a box set, get the guy that fixed Vapor Trails to fix the sound issues, and add more songs to the Molson set.
