There's no doubt that the Sony Bravia TVs have the blackest blacks around but I had to return this TV as the colour balance was so poor! Bright reds glowed an orange/salmon colour and dark reds were pink but there is no adjustment for this. After 2 days of messing around I ended up setting the colour to the lowest point above B&W.
HD looks good but shimmers a little. SD has some of the worst motion lag I've seen in a while, especially from the built-in Freeview tuner. HDMI sources can be viewed in 2 modes: full pixel which gives you a black border or normal which crops and softens the image significantly.
Sound is OK but I've heard better!

I wasn't too impressed on the first few listens as I didn't really know where they were coming from; it sounds more like a heavy New Earth Mud. However it improves with every listen, to the point where Oh Josephine is one of my favourite Crowes songs ever - it even out-Stones the Stones. It makes more sense if you're familiar with Chris Robinson's solo stuff, which you certainly should be. I'd put this album on a par with Lions, or 3 Snakes: not their best but still great. At least it follows in the Crowes' tradition of dreadful album titles AND artwork!

As a long time Crowes-fan this album has to be their least impressive. Its chock-full of catchy numbers but there is something missing, probably Marc Ford who gave them the extra edge that made The Southern Harmony... one of the greatest albums ever. Its a million miles from the heavy sound of Amorica, almost like a deliberate attempt to recapture the lightweight good-time rock'n'roll of Shake Your Money Maker which was, IMHO, a backwards step.
