Re: This Is Big Audio Dynamite
I know I'm in the minority here but I have never liked Medicine Show. I like Stone Thames the best. Que knives and daggers! I think that the 2cd legacy version really really brought the album together for me. Not really one of my favorites, but then again I like Higher Power and F-Punk.

I listened today and I found Stone Thames the underrated rave up.

The first song about AIDS? I love that sampled noise in it, don't know what it is but sounds like a demented chicken.Silent Majority wrote: ↑14 May 2019, 11:04amI listened today and I found Stone Thames the underrated rave up.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Read them, certainly made me appreciate the song more.Silent Majority wrote: ↑14 May 2019, 6:30amIt's about apartheid.BitterTom wrote: ↑14 May 2019, 4:12amOne of my many flaws is being oblivious and ignorant to a good lyric, will have to read them in a bit.
Same with Stone Thames, dismissed it on the first listen but really took the time to listen with lyrics in front and it did help complete it, if you get what I mean.
Re: This Is Big Audio Dynamite
I hope Sudden Impact makes it a decent distance, though I have no illusions about it winning anything.

Re: This Is Big Audio Dynamite
E=MC^2 and Medicine show are very good, but Bottom Line just seems head and shoulders above everything else.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.
Re: This Is Big Audio Dynamite
I had no illusions about Sony winning but I'm surprised it's going out so early.
When I first got TIBAD I'd already bought the e=mc2 and Medicine Show singles and so I thought I knew what to expect but Sony was like nothing I'd ever heard before.

Re: This Is Big Audio Dynamite
Oh no, no, no...don't get me wrong, I didn't say above, that's like comparing apples and tomatoes. I like everything under the BAD moniker, I can't really compare them. It just depends on what mood I'm in. Each BAD release reminds me of a certain point in my life, I remember exactly where I was and what was happening at that time.

As for Stone Thames, that's the first time I heard the word Extacy! and my life was forever changed

Re: This Is Big Audio Dynamite
Played the 2-disc remastered set this afternoon while installing a ceiling fan. It remains really fucking good. Striking how Mick and Joe produced such diametrically opposite results in their first post-CR albums. Mick could scarcely have done something more successfully forward-thinking, while Joe was stuck in a confused back-to-basics that also wasn't.

Is the 2-disc worth buying? It's mostly 12" mixes right?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑14 May 2019, 5:59pmPlayed the 2-disc remastered set this afternoon while installing a ceiling fan.
