This Is Big Audio Dynamite CD

 not great
Though this album is alright, it doesn't deserve all the hype it received here so far. It is funny in a sense how Mick Jones left the Clash because he wanted to play more mainstraim music, while Joe Strummer wanted to experiment with different sounds. Now, as it ended up, they both experimented while going on their seperate ways. Strummer didn't need 2 guitarists for his "Cut the Crap" album, it was just part of his tampering with different sounds. One thing remains clear through all this however, The Clash is Strummer and The Clash is Jones. The solo albums they released will never compare to the chemistry they had together. It's a shame Strummer died before they could reunite. Long live the Clash!!!!!!!!!!

 BiiiiiiiigAudioooooodynamiiiiiiiiite!!!!!!!!!!!!
okay,im only 17 but DAMN this is almost better than anything i've heard from my generation!who says its not good to dwell on the past!?at first i heard adults talking about how good the 80's was, i thought it was the regular "why,in my days..." giberish, but when i heard my generation talking about how new wave groups inspireed the i decided to check it out.one day i turned the radio on and B.A.D.'s "the bottom line" was playing it sounded so good in fact i had to unplug the headphones and turn the knob up to 100! by the time the corus was on me and my guys brought out the cardboard mat and had a freestyle break battle. needless to say were in to the 80's deep.

 Mick Jones stretches out with new band
BAD is a wonderful, fresh new sound from Clash guitarist Mick Jones. While Joe Strummer grabbed two guitarists to replace Mick in The Clash and put out the truly horrible Cut The Crap album, Mick formed a brand new band with a wildly diverse and entertaining sound. The music is a funky stew of dub, reggae, funk, and new wave beats and samples with catchy melodies and hummable tunes. The lyrics border on camp, as they take current news and ideas (the AIDS crisis, Japanese technology takeover, fiscal uncertainty) and push them over the extreme edge and off the cliff, while still getting a message across just the same. Really quite fun and inventive. Favorite tracks are Sony and Stone Thames.
