The CD has a raw, underproduced quality that only serves to accuntuate the emotional impact of the music. Sure it doesn't have the slick, clean sound of something mixed in a professional studio, but who needs it.

This is what music is meant to be, Emotional, Meaningful, and obviously wrenched from the artist's heart.

The reissue of Marrow is entirely beautiful, if you already have it buy it again the added 3 bonus tracks are probably some of the best Pepper songs I have ever heard. Simply a beautiful album.

RAW (adj.): 1, uncooked. 2, in a natural state or condition, not processed by manufacture. 3, harsh, sharp, or chilly; bleak, as of weather. 4, without covering, as of skin; naked. 5, untried; untrained; inexperienced. 6, crude; rough.  

Each of those definitions applies a little bit to this album. Marrow contains a rawness unmatched to my ear, yet Pepper's darkly emotional vocals and piano stylings are perhaps at their best on this album. I love it. In fact, I have several copies lying around my apartment because I've gotten every issue of the CD. This is an album for the starkness of autumn and I highly recommend it.
