A very solid album. I love Mr. Walker but the mix is not good.Heston wrote: ↑09 Mar 2021, 3:06pmMe too. It's the weakest song but still good. If only those guitars were louder across the whole album, and that horrible snare drum was quieter.

Put Applecart again earlier, I know I chat a lot about certain songs being the best ever, but this one really is up there for me. Phenomenal.

Yes, one of Mick's finest ever melodies, so by default that makes it brilliant.

The mix on that one is particularly poor. Sounds like it was recorded at the bottom of the Mariana trench.Marky Dread wrote: ↑09 Mar 2021, 3:08pmA very solid album. I love Mr. Walker but the mix is not good.

Yeah it's baffling really as Mick sure knows his way round a mixing desk. Why settle for that result.Heston wrote: ↑09 Mar 2021, 3:28pmThe mix on that one is particularly poor.

I love that whole "freedom, once upon a moment... " part. The words flow so nicely.

Re: Why did B.A.D. "disband"?
Applecart clearly should have been a single and i think it would have been a hit. It has a very similar driving force that E=MC2 had and just as good a melody.TeddyB Not Logged In wrote: ↑09 Mar 2021, 7:00pmOne of only two BAD songs that Robert Christgau has mentioned positively in specific (the other being E = MC2).
Tighten is a great album its just a shame that Battle of all saints road and Applecart were not the singles it could have brought the band well needed large record sales. Other 99 was too confusing for the public to get a grip of and Just play music wasn't strong enough for the first single.
Not a bad track on that album although 2000 shoes does get skipped a few times

Actually I can see why Kory likes it, it has a very Soca vibe.
