While i grew up with all the Beatles discography i bought and sold 3 copies of sandinista before i began to see the light. So ist is definately a grower.
But can Someone enlighten me why it is Pauls Boutique against cyh? Hello nasty is the best hands down, and it even has its own remote control.

For me, i put it outside of all other Clash albums, its just its own thing that continues to grow as long as I do.
I'm not advocating drugs but I have great memories of listening to it back in the day after five hot knives of Afghani black at my mate's house. That's when it really began to make sense. The whole album has a warm, ethereal vibe that I can't help but being attracted to.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: Sandinista?
I don't think the Beastie Boys haver ever put out an album that's less than good, but HN is like their 4th or 5th best album at least.Wolter wrote: ↑04 May 2020, 7:13pmIt’s ok. But the best?

Re: Sandinista?
I've heard it said it's a stoners album many times. I don't agree though just because it's so long and has some weird tracks don't make it laid back in any form.

It's my fave Clash album because it's a brave album not a lazy album. Getting all that material was amazing so many brilliant ideas.

I don't think it's the best either, but I've heard people dump on it so much that I got the impression it was near CTC in people's minds.Wolter wrote: ↑04 May 2020, 9:10pmExactly.

Re: Sandinista?
saying S! is the clashs finest work would probably cause similar reactions in other bands forums than my BB opinion here
I love pretty much their whole discography and the book and the recently released movie are very cool.
But no, their CTC is called Sounds from way out. or the mix up.

Re: Sandinista?
I dunno if our response warrants a rolled eyes. If I hear “Sandinista! is my favorite Clash album,” I think “well, that’s a left field choice I wouldn’t make but this person must love dubs a lot more than I do,” whereas if I hear “Hello, Nasty is my favorite Beastie Boys album,” I think “hmmm. Must’ve been their first.”
I don’t think they have a CTC. Nothing they released is shockingly bad or absolutely alienating.

Re: Sandinista?
oh this smileything did not have any meaning, I think every opinion is as valid as the other.
I got all of the albums at once from a yard sale. HN just hit the right chord.
I guess if you were there at the time, Licence to Ill and PB probably had the biggest impact.
they did not release any train wreck yeah, but this instrumental album is maybe just as obscure and unknown to most more casual listeners.
