Extraordinary Machine

I was disappointed at first with Mike Elizondo's work. I felt that he should have left the tracks alone. But as I continued to listen to the album, I started to appreciate the work he did and I have to say I'm satisfied with it now.

I only wish he kept the ferocity of the original "Red, Red, Red".....but his subdued version isn't bad ata all. I also wish he kept the original "Oh Well" untouched. The new recording seemed to have lost some of the emotion that came with the lines.

The intro to "Get Him Back" is fun to listen to....and "Parting Gift" makes me smile all the time. It's as sincere as a dog :).
