With all the features this unit offers, it serves as a great one stop shop for all your music needs, short of eight track tapes. Sound is good, not great, but good. Design pulls you back a few decades, which is nice. The only downsides I have with the unit is the lack of a rewind button for cassettes, the fact that your vinyls stick out a bit from the back, and the buttons can be hard to read. The cons don't outweigh the pros so I say buy it.
As a huge fan of The Gaslight Anthem, I was excited and then disappointed by their latest entry. Not as cohesive as their past three, nor as moving. Get Hurt wears its heart on its sleeve, delving into Brian Fallon's recent divorce, material that is touching but repetitive to a T. I'd give it a listen, but the disc won't get scratched with overuse. Also, the fact that a band that preached old school values gives Best Buy an exclusive track is an ironic nail in their coffin.
