Re: Strummservations
Full admission: I never found any of the Mescaleros records all that good. Not bad by any means, but not stupendous as many here feel. So that would be an excuse to revisit with an explicit point of re-evaluating.

I've found it more hit and miss than B.A.D. All I will say is the guitar that kicks in at 0.24 in Cool'n'Out is the bollocks. On of my top musical moments.

Re: Strummservations
I like songs that aren’t two minutes too long.
Also, for all the “melody” talk, I can’t remember half their discography if I’m not listening to it at the time.

Re: Strummservations
Interesting because that is how I think of BAD but I love all 3 Meskies albums. Switch to the BHD version of Minstrel Boy and Global is ......as good as CR. I certainly listen to Global more often.Heston wrote: ↑24 May 2019, 3:03pmI would probably get one CD I could really enjoy from their 3 albums.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑24 May 2019, 2:55pmIt's you and me against the world, baby!Heston wrote: ↑24 May 2019, 2:48pmI'm back on board with you Doc.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑24 May 2019, 2:16pmFull admission: I never found any of the Mescaleros records all that good.

Re: Strummservations
I'm like this with the Meskies. I suppose people's brains are just wired differently.
