This Is England is excellent.
 
We Are The Clash isn't.

I actually think Cut the Crap is not as bad as everyone says--if you can get over the cheesy production, there's a few good songs in there (Movers & Shakers, This is England...)

Consider that at around the same time (1985)  the Damned released PHANTASMAGORIA....


...The Stranglers released AURAL SCULPTURE
... The Clash released the entirely abortive CUT THE CRAP (which has since been erased from history).
.... Public Image Ltd. released ALBUM (perhaps the most respectable of the class of `77's efforts that year).


Around the same time, The Cult had just released LOVE, Killing Joke had recently released NIGHTTIME, the Sisters of Mercy had released FIRST AND LAST, but were swiftly falling apart and the Jesus & Mary Chain had just released PSYCHOCANDY.




Not a bad year for `choons, I'd say.


Alex in NYC...who thinks "Ice Queen" on AURAL SCULPTURE is one of the best things the Stranglers ever came up with.

Yeah. Aural Sculpture is something I just cannot listen to. Awful. And I love the Stranglers!

What was in the water at that time? I bet Thatcher was responsible!
