I’m learning BAD fans massively underrate Esquerita.
How nice is it to hear Mick play rock n roll?
My legit favorite song on the album (Applecart only sort of does it for me)
Applecart is one of my favourite songs, full stop. It's like Rubber Soul era Paul McCartney.
I think I’m missing a gene that enables me to see it as more than “pretty good.”

Champagne, but the others mentioned are all worthy too.

It's a bit of a shame we're not tackling The Globe, which was the BAD conglomerate's third actually great album after the first two LPs.
this is 100% correct - a motivated Mick Jones for that one

Hmmm. Alway sounded patchy to me. Side 2 was very weak.

Relying on memory alone, I can think of "Rush," which is good, and "Innocent Child," which is not. I literally can't think of another song on that album.

I’m gonna split the difference here. I think it’s a very unified album that has a lot of reinvigorated energy, while also stumbling towards the end.

Then again, I’m firmly in the “TIBAD is the only BAD album I remember every single song from when I’m not listening” camp.

(And while the execution sucks, I have a soft spot in my heart for Innocent Child because it reminds me of a specific time and person.)

All I can remember of it is the SISOSIG sample. Of course, it'd all come back to me if I played it, but it otherwise doesn't stick out.

The title track is great. Really nice album.

I love the title track despite the fact it has a Rappin’ Granny level breakdown.
