I've come around to Trash City a bit but was massively underwhelmed on release. VERY surprised it is going to make the last two.
Really good tune bloody awful mix.
Yeah but the tune is a lift of Do Wah Diddy Diddy by Manfred Mann. It's the great lyrics that elevate it a bit for me.

Honestly, I kind of wish Mick hadn’t gotten so locked into the BAD groove and had been more restless. But I’m also that outlier that thinks BAD is overall underwhelming after a fairly strong start.
The difference between the two perhaps throws into very sharp relief who the driving force of the Clash's experimentation was. Mick was obviously the tunesmith, but I wonder how much of it was Joe saying "let's do this one as a soca tune."
Maybe, but it's also possible that without Mick, Joe's "wilderness years" never ended. Which is to say, Mick grounded him and gave him a confidence that he had a harder time regaining afterwards.
I thought we had Anthony Genn to thank for that?
What do you mean by "that"?
Genn was the one that encouraged him to start the Mescaleros and end the wilderness years. Was Mick in there somewhere too?

Okay. What I meant about the wilderness years never ending (speculation and some semantic play, of course) is that the fact that the Mescaleros never had a clear sound from album to album could be interpreted as a continuation of Joe's constantly shifting interests during his wilderness years. I mean, you might be right and I'm seriously short-changing Joe's clarity of what he wanted to do and why. I'm just throwing out an alternative explanation that without Mick he just bounced around because he didn't quite know what he wanted.

Yep very similar for sure. Agreed some fine lyrics. But that mix is plain awful. Just like EW.

Oh I see what you're saying, I think I read your initial post too literally. Yes, that seems entirely plausible too. We do have reports that Mick tended to be the one seeking out new musics while Joe was all over the vintage sounds, so it probably was a combo of two adventurous spirits on either end of the discipline spectrum.

Joe was the one who wanted to do a rap first.
