| | Amazon.com: Symphony No.1: Music: Joe Jackson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) |
 | | Joe Jackson's first symphony can't really be called classical at all; if it had come out 20 years earlier, it would quite obviously have been filed under "Prog." Sadly, even Jackson's longtime fans might have trouble with this disc. |
 | | If Joe wants to experiment in his home studio with this kind of stuff then it's fine, a musician should explore all he wants for the sake of growth, but to pass this CD off as a smyphony,well, the joke is on us. |
 | | Symphony No. 1 is complex, uniquely orchestrated, and very rhythmically and harmonically challenging to listen to if the listener is expecting a Haydn-type symphony. |
