simply awesome.......2007-05-01

Most people when you ask them about this album, will cite the more popular track "Locked and Loaded" but with tracks like "Dumbass Country Boy" which really speaks to the state of the music industry and mainstream fans imo, the track that really doesn't seem to get much notice is "Misery Loves Company" which is easily my faovrite song on the album. Looking forward to seeing them at the House of Blues later this month. While it's not as good as their debut album, it deserves better than a 3.

This Albums pretty good, but not the best.......2004-03-18

This album I purchased because im an AC/DC fan and it contains a great song called "locked and loaded" which Brian Johnson joins Jesse James Depree to sing it! Its the best song on the album! And the rest of the songs are pretty good, but i'd recomend there self titles debuet album more then this one!

"cut the crap".......2003-12-22

jackyl, aa great heavy metal band, also from the 80's. this was a very good album

Great!.......1999-12-21

A must have for any Jackyl fan. Locked and Loaded may be the best song they have recorded since the Lumberjack. But from start to finish this album kicked this Dumb-a__ Country Boy's a__

Buy it for Brian.......1999-05-08

Yeah, Jackyl is pretty good, but the gem on this record is the duet with AC/DC's Brian Johnson "Locked and Loaded" I hope AC/DC will do it on the next tour. It is awesome. The token chainsaw song on this record (the title track)Is also great. "Thanks for the Grammy" is pretty lame though...

This is the Clash's "Indian War Whoop".......2007-03-29

This widely despised recording actually reminds me of another widely scorned recording - Indian War Whoop - by an equally influential group of musicians, the Holy Modal Rounders. When I first heard Indian War Whoop, a record apparently recorded while the musicians were tripping heavily on LSD, it was unlistenable, and I regretted buying it. But, with later listens, it sort of grew on me. I don't listen to it often, but when I do, I recognize a real musical core.

So too with this mess of a record. It's really not the Clash, but there are a core of halfway decent songs. It's not a great record by any means, but not nearly as bad as many would suggest. I suppose, though, that it deserves to be seen as a footnote to the Clash's, and Joe Strummer's, otherwise fine musical careers.

I could really do without the drum machines, both here, and just about everywhere (with perhaps a few exceptions, such as Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, and a handful of techno acts).

Breaking Up Is Easy To Do.......2006-12-28

Usually when bands implode it is done through the dreaded phone call to a band member(s) who is getting sacked from the former friends & business agent, the musician showing up to a "scheduled" recording session and nobody is around or the final mix for a CD somehow dropping the (now former) band member.

For The Clash, though, it was taken to a new level with - for a time - two bands with the name and this final studio release for the group - session musicians and a drum machine - being fronted by Joe Strummer, with songwriting and production "assistance" from manager Bernie Rhodes.

It is a mess, as the songs - besides This Is England - would not have made the final cut in previous albums and the instruments buried in a muddy mix. Arguably the best musician throughout is the drum machine, but rumors remain that it even wanted to flee the studio.

The rift between Strummer and Mick Jones had been growing for years and this final product was the acrimony still being played out after Jones was sacked. In its glory years, the band wrote songs that oftentimes took aim at the bloated greed of the music industry. But in the end, the band could not survive the gluttonous egos that seemed more fitting for any number of generic stadium-rock ensembles.

Shut the hell up!.......2006-08-31

Seems it has always been fashionable to blast this album, as if in doing so you prove your hardcore Clash status. Well, I own all Clash albums, all Big Audio Dynamite albums and all Joe Strummer albums. I got news for you, this is not that bad of album. Yes, it was different from the other Clash albums, but it was still Joe Strummer for crying out loud, and even on his worse days, he was better than most. I agree that the sound of the album does sound like a reply to the Big Audio album that was being made by Mick Jones (which did very well) and this does make you wonder if this is the same band that made London Calling. Well, it wasn't, but is still a pretty decent album and a must for real Strummer fans. Hell, everybody blasted Strummer for his first solo album Earthquake Weather, but that album has been validated as a great album. Heck, at least "This Is London" is great.

It Does Not Even Deserve One Star!!.......2006-04-26

This is the most unlistenable, unmelodic, poorly played, badly-written record I have ever heard ANYONE ever do. It's like Joe was deliberately awful just to spite Mick Jones! Words can barely convey how terrible this is. You listen once with shock which gives way to horror--you listen a second time to make sure you heard it right the first time....and that's two times too many!!!!

The Bernie Rhodes/ Joe Strummer Album!.......2005-05-29

Cut the Crap (1985) was the results of some vocal tracks Joe Strummer laid down and Bernie Rhodes and a group of Session musicians and a drum machine. Paul Simonon
plays on two tracks whilst Nick Sheppard adds vocals on
North and South. These are the only contributions from the band. Instead of working on the new material the band was rehersing on the road (Ammunition, Glue Zombie, Pouring Rain). Bernie Rhodes used only some of the new songs and made the album into a synth-pop one instead of a punk
rock disc. After releasing the single This Is England (a great song live or studio) this synth-pop disc hit the stores but it wasn't a fiancial or crtitcal sucess.

The lyrics are great and have heavy political and social meanings but they're buried under the over produced music.
Tracks like Cool Under Heat, Movers and Shakers, This is England and Three Card Trick are great but the rest of the songs are just badly produced. Rhodes should have given the band some studio time to record this album instead of taking it out of their hands. People, you must realize the band had little or no input on this album. Rhodes even credited himself as co-writer of all the songs on this disc.
Please keep this in mind next time you want to say The Clash sucked without Mick Jones. IF you've heard them live you'd say different.

Recommended for Joe Strummer fans.

Wins the "Most Ironic Title Ever" award, but that's about it........2007-04-25

Here's a brilliant idea: let's sack Mick Jones, half our songwriting team AND our lead guitarist, and continue on from there. Then let's see what new lows we can sink our music to! This very well might've been The Clash's mindset at the time. After the excellent if slightly overrated London Calling, The Clash entered what we experts like to call the "bad half" of their career. It started overambitious Sandinista! project, then they recovered slightly with Combat Rock. No recovery here. It sounds like a punk album made by somebody who was raised on arena-rock, had never heard a note of punk in their lives, and nevertheless decided to take a shot at making a punk album. So yeah, there's an overuse of synthesizers and power chords - exactly the kind of music the original Clash were dead-set against. And since it's the 80's, there's a drum machine, because for some reason in the 80's most mainstream rock bands were too lazy to drum and relied on sequenced beats instead. God, do I hate 80s music...
anyway, there are more bad ideas than just that - the chant-along We Are the Clash is embarrassing and rather inappropriate, since only half the original Clash even PLAYED on this album, and even then original member Paul Simonon is reduced to playing "additional bass". My god, show a bit more respect for your original bassist! So there's lots of deadly dull arena-punk like Are You Red..y, Dictator, Dirty Punk, Fingerpoppin' and Three Card Trick. No meaningful, intelligent lyrics the Clash usually delivered. No cool basslines from Paul Simonon because he was regulated to frickin' ADDITIONAL BASS. No reggae-punk, which had been the group's secret weapon from the start. Now, I like This Is England (which DOES have meaningful lyrics) as much as the next guy, but it's got the synthesizer, the drum machine, and what I like to call the "Billy Idol distorted guitar" - it's hard to explain, but it sounds like computerized distortion - and those elements keep it from being a classic. So you get one good song out of twelve. Raw deal.
As for the title, it screams for an obvious pun that I won't make because I'm sweet like that. Okay, not really. But I still won't make the obvious pun.

Not the best, but not the worst.......2006-06-19

"Cut the Crap" has unfortunately fallen victim to the fans of Mick Jones. It's actually not as bad as they advertise. They simply bash this album because it doesn't feature Mick Jones. They probably haven't even taken the time to actually listen to it.

Here's a review, track by track:

1. "Dictator" - (7/10) - The horns in this song are unnecessary and definitely bring up the cheese factor. Not the best choice for an opening song.
2. "Dirty Punk" - (8/10) - Straightfoward punk rock.
3. "We Are the Clash" - (8/10) - Straightfoward punk rock. Most people criticize this song because they say the band is trying to cash in on it's own name, but does anyone remember 'Clash City Rockers' or 'This is Radio Clash'?
4. "Are You Red..Y" - (7/10) - The live version is better than this studio version. Just listen to the live version and you'll see what I mean.
5. "Cool Under Heat" - (10/10) - The best song on the album. It wouldn't be out of place on 'Combat Rock'.
6. "Movers and Shakers" - (9/10) - The 2nd best song on the album. Straightfoward punk rock.
7. "This is England" - (7/10) - The band sounds they wrote this for 'Hands Across America'. It's the type of song were you hold hands with the people beside you and start swaying and singing together. In other words, it's total cheese.
8. "Three Card Trick" - (7/10) - An attempt at '80s powerpop.
9. "Play to Win" - (7/10) - This song has a great intro, but the rest of it soungs like a bad attempt to combine ska and punk.
10. "Fingerpoppin" - (7/10) - Another attempt at '80s powerpop. It's OK, but not the best.
11. "North and South" - (6/10) - This song is total cheese from beginning to end. The worst song on the album. The keyboards sound like they came straight from a theme song to a cheesey '80s sitcom.
12. "Life is Wild" - (8/10) - Another attempt at '80s powerpop. It actually comes out pretty well this time.

I think we can all agree that this isn't The Clash's best album, but it isn't the piece of crap that Mick Jones fans claim it to be.

Joe strummer IS the clash...not mick jones.......2006-03-14

on the sandinista and combat rock review sections, people tend to stick up a verbal middle finger or just not get them at all. when this one comes around, people just drop their pants and take a huge dump on it. i just want to know why? i listen to the clash for the music, not the band member line-up.

can anyone who bad mouthed this album picture the clash without joe strummer and some other random guy in his place? it wouldn't look too pretty in my eyes. picture today's version of the "un-danziged" misfits and thats what i see. i mean yeah, a mick jones only clash album may have been pretty good even, but then i would feel just like i do about the new misfits....aka "they should change the name." you know, joe strummer is the main vocalist and what comes to my mind when i think "clash." nothing against mick though! i loved every other clash cd, but this one sounds very special when i listen to it. like almost london calling special! i really did buy this expecting to be severly disappointed and bored, but alas, i wasn't.

dictator is such a good opener...maybe my favorite clash opener??
dirty punk is a good follow up to it...can i say...an 80's more synthy version of something from self-titled?
we are the clash is pretty nice too..i mean i don't see what is so cheesy about it...they did have a new line-up and wanted to make themselves known as "the new clash."
are you red y? is pretty atmospheric of a track...not bad at all.
cool under heat is definately one of the best here.
movers and shakers....pretty good listen..another great one.
this is england is definately a forgotten clash song...as good as any london calling track!
three card trick is another amazing track..i can see some future ska influence that op. ivy and rancid would eventually use.
play to win is very much like "sean flynn" off of combat rock..but with occasional choruses.
fingerpoppin is like are you red y? good..not the best but listenable.
north and south is the only song i would rather have off here. it just is cheesy.
life is wild-good..the previous song is a definite turn off, but its good.

i like it a lot. it does not deserve to be bashed like it has been. i mean it at least deserves to be considered a clash album! geez!

Even the Giants can falter..........2005-01-12

With Mick Jones missing, half of the most creative song-writing force since the Beatles, Joe Strummer was lacking in confidence. Severely. The label told him he couldn't handle it. And he listened. Bring in the German producers, the studio musicians, the drum machine. And, not to mention, the horribly ironic album title.
This album wasn't just bad. It was embarrassing. The Clash all but pretended it never existed. There was no mention on the carreer-spanning 3-disc Clash on Broadway box set. No mention in Westway to the World.
One Amazing thing about Strummer, though, is that no matter how badly he stacks the odds against himself, there still seem to be moments where those absent-minded Germans let a bit of decent music slip through. Nothing Strummer is ever involved in is truely worthless (and yes, I have seen Straight to Hell).

My suggestion? Treat it in the same manner you would a drunken message on your answering machine from your significant other. Let them apologize later, tell them you don't care and you'll forget it (even though you won't), but if you really love them, there might still be something in there worth listening to.

awful gang vocals - a real shame.......2004-11-23

I'm really amazed at the reviews I've heard of this record. If you check on amazon for the "standard" version (without "do it now") the average review is 2 stars, but the "extended" version with that track has an average of 5. My duty as a Mick Jones fan is to bring that average down, because this album is incredibly awful - allow me to explain.

I am a huge Clash fan - I'm that guy who won't shut up about them at parties, who celebrates their birthdays (well, not terry chimes or keith levine's ... or on that same note, I don't acknowledge the studio musicians on this record either as members of the clash) - and I can't justify this being considered part of the clash catalog.

The amazing thing about the clash is, as you listen to the records in chronological order, the diverse change in styles, feel, instrumentation, production ... their first record was the big bang and their universe expanded outwardly from that point on .

Fast forward to 1985 - mick jones has been asked to leave and topper is out shooting smack somewhere - only joe and paul (who was really, don't get me wrong, I love his part in all of this, just there to jump around and rock out) with 3 awful session musicians - strummer is quoted in an interview from Westway to the World as saying that "you're only as good as your drummer" and he adamantly talks about the power, the energy, versatility and talent of topper - how, once he joined, everything fell into place - without him, you'll hear, cut the crap features inane drumming with sounds that are horribly over-produced in mid 80's style - the "hit" that apparantly justifies this bonus edition getting 5 instead of 2 stars features monotonous "punk cowboy" drumming layered with awful, monotonous gang vocals from the backup musicians.... in fact, this is the precise point when you can detect the musical failure of this record - as I stated earlier, the clash never repeated themselves (with the notable exception of the intros to "gates of the west" and "time is tight" sounding a tad similar for my tastes) - every song on this record features these same droning gang vocals in every chorus - forget dragging handclaps and dragging beats - what is presented here is formulaic ass-song-writing

to paraphrase strummer again: "never underestimate mick jones as an arranger" - without him, this record delves into pathetic mindless repitition, where I picture denizens of fans in an imaginary crowd bobbing their heads to the side with a look on confusion on their faces wondering why they're at this awful concert and who are these jokers pretending to be the clash?

But, I digress - I would have to say, that the truly grand ah-whoom of this record (which, I might add, is not even mentioned in westway to the world, because the producer, director and artists had the hindsight to realize that the mere mention of it (and the fact that they'd have to play clips from it) would destroy the movie the way it destroyed the band's otherwise spotless reputation of energy, consciousness, evolution and innovation) is 3 chuckleheaded session musicians chanting "we are the clash" - whose idea was that one? if there were anyone in the universe less the clash, I couldn't imagine who it would be ....

in summary, this record is tiresome, tedious and otherwise awful - spend your time digesting sandinista - now there's an innovative record...

Well, I first got a hold of this CD in starkville Ms. about 4 years ago, and let me just say it rocked my socks off...Marah is every hometown band that I grew up listening to in Starkville. They're sound is unbelievable, it's everything from Bluegrass to rock and so much more. I suggest you buy this cd and let your friends know about this band. Also check out their oher CDs you wont be diapointed...

Let's Cut The Crap is a fan-...-tastic cd. It might take repeated listenings to really sink into your head but once it does, you will never get it out of your head. It is truley a classic that will stand the test of time.

What is a shame is that a band that could have been huge fell prey to the egos of the brothers bielanko. After the release of thier second cd, which also rocks, called Kids In Philly, the band lost 2 key members (who also rocked). It's all downhill from there.

But pick up this cd, you will not be sorry!

But understand this: If you are an open-minded lover of rock-n-roll (and tap rooms and tobacco cigarettes) and hater of rain delays (particularly those endured with your drunken spouse), this is a classic. This is my first amazon review. I note with interest the grade inflation throughout. But... This is one of the best albums in rock history. Listen again and again.

This Japanese mini-lp replica version of Clash's best album is simply a work of art! Very beautifully designed with all the lyrics included and with a sound quality remastered to perfection.
This is by far the best version of this album that is out there; great sound quality, great packaging, great songs! A must have in any CD collector's library.
