THE REVIEW

The usual reheated soup. 

Collection of live performances accompanied by a documentary DVD. The disgusting one exploiting her son's death. 

Of course, the whole thing only makes the artist unbearable (or truly unbearable) to the many, relying on recordings that tarnish the memory of the captivating performances of the good Jeff (thus far from those of the excellent "Mystery White Boy"), or using a questionable tracklist, which furthermore includes phony (separated) duplicates of the most well-known tracks.

What a pity.
