THIS IS BIG SURVIVAL DYNAMITE ROUND 3
BAD is a song not in
Might as well keep it in a biscuit tin
Some might say eponymously grating
Some people don't like Don's rapping

Went with A Party but everything here is great.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: THIS IS BIG SURVIVAL DYNAMITE ROUND 3
I went Sudden Impact, which I like ever so slightly less than A Party. But this is a solidly consistent album.

Re: THIS IS BIG SURVIVAL DYNAMITE ROUND 3
Going with A Party only because I find the other songs a hair catchier
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead
Pex Lives!

Sticking with "Stone Thames," tho it's a coin flip between that and "Sudden Impact." But Kory is pulling for "SI" and he did give me that kidney when I asked for it that one time, so I guess this makes us even.

Also, I'd love to know who's the bold soul who's been tagging "The Bottom Line" since round one, just for the rationale.

Not me but its next up after Sudden Impact is out. Personally, the 12 inch version (which is easily one of my 2 - 3 favourite BAD songs) just diluted the album version of The Bottom Line for me, which just seems like half a song now.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑16 May 2019, 8:33amAlso, I'd love to know who's the bold soul who's been tagging "The Bottom Line" since round one, just for the rationale.
Funnily enough, just to show how taste can diverge amongst a group of fans who like the same thing, A Party would be one of my final two - the 3 Mick verses in that song with the same melody (ie. "White Knight write are wrongs, lyrics for the protest songs, number one top of the charts, rock n' roll bleeding hearts, they offered us a special patch, knew there had to be a catch, family tree pulled at the root, they still bear that old strange fruit") are my favourite moments on a phenomenal album.

Re: THIS IS BIG SURVIVAL DYNAMITE ROUND 3
The 12" is much, much better. definitely, but it hasn't harmed the album version for me. Tho there may be some imprinting going on, too—it was some time before I heard any of the remixes or extended cuts, so the album versions are "definitive" in my consciousness.drowninghere wrote: ↑16 May 2019, 9:20amNot me but its next up after Sudden Impact is out.

I put it at #4. Apart from the lyrical theme and prose, I like the slower pace yet still clearly of similar style as the rest of the record.Funnily enough, just to show how taste can diverge amongst a group of fans who like the same thing, A Party would be one of my final two - the 3 Mick verses in that song with the same melody (ie.

That is a fantastic line but I didn't grasp the full meaning until a few years later when I read the poem and it became even more hard hittingdrowninghere wrote: ↑16 May 2019, 9:20amfamily tree pulled at the root, they still bear that old strange fruit
Anyone know what that weird sample is at around 2:19 of the album version?

Are you refering to the odd dialogue that comes in after the Zulu sample?oliver wrote: ↑16 May 2019, 9:58amThat is a fantastic line but I didn't grasp the full meaning until a few years later when I read the poem and it became even more hard hittingdrowninghere wrote: ↑16 May 2019, 9:20amfamily tree pulled at the root, they still bear that old strange fruit

Re: THIS IS BIG SURVIVAL DYNAMITE ROUND 3
Dunno if this message board honours the start-time directive but it's at 2:19 until 2:34 with a gap in the middle. I may be demonstrating a bit of ignorance here but I thought Zulu samples were on the remix. I always assumed it was some backwards dialogue looped but just wondered if anyone knew.Marky Dread wrote: ↑16 May 2019, 2:57pmAre you refering to the odd dialogue that comes in after the Zulu sample?

Re: THIS IS BIG SURVIVAL DYNAMITE ROUND 3
I haven't played the youtube clip but I have listened back to my Legacy Edition at the time stated and the chants from the movie Zulu are heard at 2:14 - 2:18 then at 2:19 there is some dialogue which sounds like someone bartering but I do not know the movie source.oliver wrote: ↑16 May 2019, 4:39pmDunno if this message board honours the start-time directive but it's at 2:19 until 2:34 with a gap in the middle.

Re: THIS IS BIG SURVIVAL DYNAMITE ROUND 3
After listening to A Party a few times tonight I'm starting to think I should have went for Sudden Impact.

I can only conclude that there is a disturbing degree of support for apartheid here. Shame, shame, shame.
