The Business End [EP]

Editorial Reviews
Dave Segal, Seattle Stranger, October 28, 2004
Its impossible to be bored by The Business End's mercurial tempo changes, broad sound palette, and disorienting song structures.

Stefan Koopmanschap, Electronic Music World
a mad genius is at work here.

2 out of 5 stars Great memories but nothing Remastered here........2006-04-15

To call this CD remastered is a bit misleading. I would have gotten the same results by sticking a cheap microphone near the speaker of an equally cheap television set.

The songs and sounds of the Marx Brothers brought back great memories but the skips in the CD and the overall quality of sound was a bit disheartening. If you love the Marx Brothers then buy this CD for the memories, as for the quality, I would definately think twice.

4 out of 5 stars If comedy were still like this . . ........2005-08-20

. . . it'd be much better than it is - well, if you've seen "Monkey Business" you know what I'm talking about!

This CD contains music from two of the Marx Brothers' early Paramount films, "The Cocoanuts" (their first) and "Monkey Business." Since these films were made in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the sound quality isn't the best (and the dialog occasionally carries over in the music), but considering that a CD like this is hard to find, it's certainly worth adding to your Marx Brothers collection. Not only do you get Chico's chord-smashing, finger-accented piano playing, or Harpo's dreamy, beloved harp playing, you get some of the Brothers' comedy bits from these two movies - such as their hilarious Chevalier "impersations" and the immortal "Why-a-duck?" exchange.

Just a tiny bone to pick: Harpo's solo in "Monkey Business" is actually called "I'm Daffy Over You" (written by Chico!), not "Sugar in the Morning" as the CD case says.

            3 out of 5 stars worth checking out.......2003-01-16

            pretty solid release considering both mc's are only 17 or 18. low-end production didn't help much either, but there are a couple of tracks that hit pretty hard. pretty much the same themes over and over: money, fame, power, etc., but a lot of the rhymes are surprisingly clever. also, track four is an entire dis on Eminem that, obviously an attempt to get mainstream attention, actually is pretty funny.

            if you can get this CD used or new for a good price then I recommend it. it's not the greatest, but it's certainly far from the worst.
