Rating: - The best record from B.A.D.
Despite the previous comments here, I would still strongly recommend this one for any B.A.D. newcomer, rather than grabbing a greatest hits or a different record - you won't be disappointed.

A strong second release from B.A.D. (yes, no matter how the band was named it's still a Big Audio Dynamite's record...), including a few dance-rock gems featuring experimental samplers and some other worthy elaborated songs.

Just a couple or not more than three cuts might force to ... Read More

Rating: - Tightening Up, Finally
Mick Jones' post-Clash output has suffered from a grave sort of inconsistency. Big Audio Dynamite's Tighten Up, Vol. 88, which I bough two weeks ago, shows how the band could have a few decent ideas.

Big Audio Dynamite was former Clash-man Mick Jone's new project after he was given the heave-ho by Mick Strummer. It combines hip-hop samples with rock predating similar 90s bands like EMF or Jesus Jones. To my ears anyhow, ... Read More

Rating: - Fun!
What do you expect more Clash? Naw! This album fuses rap/rock/electronica/dance wrapped into one party album. Don't expect the worlds best, but dudes, have it in the collection just in case you have those types o people back after the club.
