ROUND 7 - Earthquake Weather, Side 2

[drowninghere]

Yup.

It's the only song on the side that I know what it sounds like without listening to it.

This.

Seems like the song of choice for people who don't like the album.

i've given the album so many chances, more than it deserves.

The only songs I really like are Shouting St, Island Hopping, Ride Your Donkey and Sleepwalk. King of the Bayou and Gangsterville are ok. The rest are just rambling mush to me.

To each their own, I don't particularly like Shouting Street, and I really don't like Ride Your Donkey. On the other hand, I like Gangsterville, King of the Bayou, Island Hopping, Leopardskin Limousines, Jewellers & Bums, Passport to Detroit and Sleepwalk a lot. But what I really don't get is thinking Nefertiti Rock is great, but not Gangersterville, or digging Techno D-Day but not Passport to Detroit, or Mondo Bongo, but not Sleepwalk. I just don't see the disparity at all.

It's melody thing with me. I love Joe when he has a good, strong tune to work with. Some of his post-Clash stuff just seems to meander a bit, no real hooks, just a vibe. I can understand why others might dig that, just not for me I suppose.

I like the vibe when I’m listening, but it’s too murky to stick with me when it’s not playing. I remember most of the Meskies jams, but not this.

Like Heston, the only record given more chances than EW is CTC!!!
I like SS, IH and G but apart from Ride Your Donkey I cant remember how any of the other tracks go. Lack of hooks (melody) must be the answer.

Sorry, but your melody argument loses all credibility if you prefer Ride Your Donkey over this gem. Here's a reminder of how it goes :

The only thing that reminded me was that we didn’t include No Reason in the ‘extras’ poll!!!
