reached the mainstream and sound cruel

It surprises me again and again how many extremely positive to straight pull überschwenliche reviews recent publications of JB bestowed.
Sure Bonamassa acts musically at a high level, his qualities as a guitarist will want nobody questioned. With "Driving Towards The Daylight" he really lays it now but a question of charts suited to reach the broadest possible mass. Unfortunately, the masses is not always an adequate benchmark for artistic quality. It sounds like many flat and rundgelutscht, some titles may have been thrown as well as Bon Jovi on the market. "A place in my heart" sounds so cheesy like Peter Alexander with Blue Background.
But that's not even the main point of criticism of the CD, musical tastes are just different.

What surprised much more: If because no one on the incredibly poor sound quality of the recording ??? Clipping effects (ie overloads, who become great scratch-like sounds in the background noticeable) in some songs, especially noticeable in "Who's Been Talking", as the singing with "Too Much Is Not Enough" overrides completely. The album is - as unfortunately all JB publications of recent years - once again produced only on volume level. Kevin Shirley has done in the most negative sense as music destroyers all the work.
In "Dust Bowl" I thought initially to have just caught a bad pressure, now I realized that obviously is a system behind. "Black Rock" is also tonally extremely unacceptable. Music without dynamism and brilliance seem to find wide acceptance, why immmer. Man is a creature of habit, the human ear obviously.

I'm going to unlearn the future to buy these CDs poorly produced, although I JB basically for a fantastic musicians hold (therefore probably the two stars). It will be interesting when (or even if) a rethinking is taking place in the music industry in qulitativer respects. Too Bad ...
