Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Picking the best songs from Earthquake Weather, Higher Power, and F-Punk, you still couldn't get a decent combined album's worth.Heston wrote: ↑15 Jun 2019, 2:17pmGonna Try is good.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
I gave it a go, put random tracks from the album on, didn't do much for me but need to have a proper listen again. Hopefully it'll be a Megatop Pheonix and get better after a few listens.

I don't really think either are terrible. Just not worthy of the Big Audio Dynamite name, in my opinion.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
Yeah, agreed, the Ally Pally mix is shit. I was speaking strictly in performance terms, although either I got used to it or the mix actually improved a bit, but as I said I think the second half of the album sounds a bit better mixed than the opening half.NoMoreHugh wrote: ↑15 Jun 2019, 1:34pmWell said Flex Bad II are so underated and i have to say i love all the albums right the way through to F Punk. Only thing i cant agree with the Ally Pally Paradiso I think it sounds terrible and i only listened to it as there was nothing else at the time. But what a silly idea to make the sound poor so it resembles a bootleg . All the other ideas to make it look like a cheap bootleg was ok for an idea but to make the sound poor was a stupid idea at best.
I was at the alexandra palace gig as well and loved it, it was brilliant then had all my memories dashed when i had that recording as a reminder.
That guitar work on the Ally Pally Contact is brilliant, imho.

Re: B.A.D. Observations Thread
I didn't know it had been released until I saw it at Sister Ray one day. Couldn't believe my eyes.
Got it home, heard the roar of the opening "1 2 3 4" from "I Turned Out A Punk" and then what followed it was a weak, muddy guitar that didn't really match. The video is good though :)
TBH, the whole album did grow on me a bit and I really like the remix of Vitamin C that appropriates "The Liquidator"
The only album I can't get on with is Entering a New Ride

There's a version called Vitamin C Ska Mix on the BAD Files which is much better.
