ROUND 6 - Sandinista! - Two

[WestwayKid]

Moving on: Something About England
Voted off: The Magnificent Seven

[Flex]

I thought to myself: oh, this is easy, let's kill off the dub since it's right after the original. Then I thought, on there's the subpar Mose Allison cover right there. THEN I remembered The Crooked Beat was on this side and the choice became clear.

[Silent Majority]

Look Here is the loser on this side.

[matedog]

Love me all these songs. Going to vote off the dub to avoid having to make a real choice.

Love me all these songs. Going to vote off the dub to avoid having to make a real choice.

yeah, i actually enjoy all of them in some form or another, but there are three that have pretty compelling arguments to make against them, I think.

Mostly, picking through these songs reminds me I only have a real objection to a very small handful outside of Cut the Crap, which this exercise reminded me how not very good most of it really is, IMCT Irony aside.

I went with Look Here, which is just subpar enough as a cover that it overcomes my ironic appreciation for Crooked Beat. One More Time should have this in a walk. Should doesn’t mean will, mind you. SGM is good enough to take it if everyone forgets how amazing OMT is.

"Watch when Watts Town burns again" is so powerful, not only in its incendiary message but the uncoiling tension of its euphonic poetry means the syllables hammer you like clumps of falling broken glass. Sing the words out loud, I swear to God, your body hums.

One More Time slays it.

There is nothing subpar about the playing on Look Here it's brilliantly played. It's a really solid cover but it isn't very Clash. I'm certain that the reason it's disliked is simply because it's a jazz track.

The playing is fine. The vocals are dire.

Not for me I think they are great. It helps for me already being a Mose fan. The Clash covering Mose was in the great tradition of rock 'n' roll and following on from The Who.

Agreed.

I'm not a jazz fan at all which will probably why it doesn't float my boat.

I'm a Mose fan; agreed with Maj, the vocal take does it in. No complaint about the lads giving it a shot, and I'd never skip over it, but it's not up to snuff.

What is it about the vocal you dislike because I don't hear anything bad.

Yeah. It’s not actively bad. Just not a great vocal take or a particularly suitable choice for them to play, but it’s a fair effort. It’s not absolutely dire like ELBH.
