Estonia is historic and all for time and place, but...god, as a show it's a horrific document of the depths of Bruce Smith's alcohol problems. He was out of his skull that whole show, and the gruesome results are laid bare on the soundboard in spite of the shit-hot performance from the front line.

Re: Public Image Limited
I've long said that Live in Tokyo is one of the worst albums I've ever heard—lord but PiL's pendulum swings widely—and that just adds to the awful some lazy visuals. How Lydon turned it around to get to Album is rather remarkable.Marky Dread wrote: ↑29 May 2018, 7:17pmI don't find it too bad but you and I both know it's just PiL by numbers.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 May 2018, 6:46pmI, too, rate it 0/10.Marky Dread wrote: ↑29 May 2018, 6:30pm...again!Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑29 May 2018, 5:45pmSurely people are clamoring for a crystal-clear copy of the Rockpalast show!Marky Dread wrote: ↑29 May 2018, 4:56pm

Re: Public Image Limited
And then Laswell would produce Swans' The Burning World, which everyone, including Gira, agrees is the worst thing they've ever done (even if it does have a couple good songs).

Re: Public Image Limited
Whelll, I went ahead and picked up the box set if anyone wants FLACs. I can see not wanting to spend dough on this artifact (I got it for the DVDs and a couple of the unreleased tracks but that's about it).

The 2nd disc has a mastering fault. Where parts of the following tracks start up before their track markings. This affects USLS 1 through to Love Hope.

Re: Public Image Limited
we harrumph sometimes about how the Clash catalog could be treated slightly more authoritatively or about the replication of compilations and whatever, but man oh man do we sit pretty compared to Lydon's consumer exploitation music projects.
