I think it's a much better disc than Fire Of Love (no slouch itself) and the production ain't that bad at all.

Them's fighting words Jay! ...'Miami' very mediocre? Them's fighting words Jay! I never could understand why this album was considered such a disappointment by some. Sure the production ain't what it could be, but I think JLP was really starting to get his songwriting chops together on 'Miami'. The only song I could've left off was 'Run Through The Jungle' 'cos it seemed somewhat unnecessary, but the likes of 'Carry Home' & 'Texas Serenade' are among my fave Gun Club tracks.<BR/><BR/>'Death Party' occupies a special place in that it was the first Gun Club record I heard, & I like it a lot, but there's something about 'Miami' that makes me put it up there alongside 'Fire Of Love'. A different beast it is, but still one of my faves.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36274466.post-29472750788413563772007-05-31T16:31:00.000-07:002007-05-31T16:31:00.000-07:00Am I the only one who thinks Fire of Love is overr...Am I the only one who thinks Fire of Love is overrated compared to the rest of the Gun Club's output? I'd put Miami over it.

The sound does suck, but I still think the songs are good enough to make it a worthwhile record. Why oh why would anyone let Chris Stein near their recording?<BR/><BR/>Gun Club had the coolest guitarists. Kid, Ward Dotson (Whom I loved in Pontiac Bros and Liquor Giant) and then Jim Duckworth (whose legendary status is sealed with me from his having participated on the Panther Burns Debut LP)on this one. I don't have any point, just had to mention it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
