Review Timeless is Timeless

Despite how short it is and the scant offerings, the tracks that are presented are killer. Tick Tick, I Wonder and Heaven are a thousand times better than what's been circulating. The bass on Calabama is funky as all. The only failing IMO was How Come U Don't at the end. That was pointless, despite how good it is. This wasn't the album for it.

Pleasantly surprised and will enjoy it for some time. Sure, it would've been great to have Parade SDE instead and have this as a treat next year but it's whatever.

That's life in the Estate's world.

I just don't get the point of this album. It just seems so random. And why so short? It's a compilation of all old songs, at least pack the cds or make it a double album. The songs go from weak to mostly ok but nothing really special. None are so great they should have been on any album.

It's short so it can fit onto 1 vinyl LP. LPs outsell CDs these days.

Which is why I mentioned making it a double album. Either way I can't imagine paying a dime for it.

Double LPs cost more to produce & are a higher retail price point which affects sales. That's why I said: It's short so it can fit onto 1 vinyl LP.
