ROUND 1 - Rock Art & The X-Ray Style, Side 1
Posted: 24 Jun 2019, 12:29pm
Side 1 of the first Meskies record. Go forth and VOTE.
Top track for me also.
I realized a while back that Rock Art is one of those quietly really good albums where pretty much every track is at least a solid B.

Sorry but they just can't come anywhere near the melodic, lyrical and conceptual power of TIBAD for me. The first and third albums are hotch potches dragged together to get a product together. Global is the only 'proper' album but is hamstrung by that utterly pointless version of Minstrel Boy and a couple of rather ordinary tracks.101Walterton wrote: ↑24 Jun 2019, 8:20pmI live all 3 Meskies albums and rate them the best 3 post Clash albums by any of them.
Global is the descendant of Sandinista! But the first three BAD albums are my go to listens.Heston wrote: ↑25 Jun 2019, 2:13amSorry but they just can't come anywhere near the melodic, lyrical and conceptual power of TIBAD for me.

I'm with my Limey comrades here, tho I'm not as negative as Heston towards the Meskie records. They just aren't my aesthetic preference.Marky Dread wrote: ↑25 Jun 2019, 11:46amGlobal is the descendant of Sandinista!
