    There is much, meanwhile, to recommend the O'Brien remix, or "deconstruction" as he puts it. What O'Brien has mostly done is strip away the more ornate layers of the Palmer mix and cutting back on the album's moments of more florid melodrama.

    His new take scythes through the original, revealing growls and guitars long obscured-sometimes it's distracting, but often it lends the songs a newfound jolt.

    The remix supposedly reflects how the band always wanted the album to sound, but it's hard to tell what O'Brien did. It's definitely cleaner, louder and more polished, but not dramatically different.

    Ten is the best album from a largely overrated band. "Alive" is a great song with strong vocals and arguably the best guitar solo of the nineties. Download "Alive" and maybe "Jeremy" and feel comfortable ignoring the rest of the subpar release.… Expand
