4 out of 5 stars Wow! $40? And worth it!!.......2005-08-31

This is an incredibly underrated album despite the validity of much of the criticism. Yeah, the production had a drunk old geezer at the board, and Zander Schloss is said to have been a better actor than a guitar player.

However, the thing about the album is that it holds up much better than the rest of his collection save for perhaps the Walker soundtrack, which might be even more expensive.

"King of the Bayou" (a salute to Cory Aquino) is one of the greatest things Joe Strummer ever wrote.

The lyrics are outstandingly relevant in 2005. The guy was great at stating the shape of things to come by acknowledging them as already existing in the present.

3 out of 5 stars Over produced nightmare!.......2005-06-15

Earthquake Weather has to be one of the most over produced albums I have ever heard. The lyrics and concept of the songs are great but it's badly over produced. Maybe they should have keep the music basic and hid the tapes from Joe before he added and layered sound and music that wasn't needed. A good album but too much tinkering can ruin a good thing.

For Joe Strummer fans but beware of the production!

5 out of 5 stars A real gem!.......2005-02-04

Anyone that thinks Earthquake Weather is a bad offering from Strummer is trippin and I would question the maturity and coolness of their musical ears. Yeah, maybe it's not a totally polished production like some Britney Spears CD, but come on people that's what gives it depth and makes it atmospheric like the Clash recordings, especially the first Clash record. I absolutely love this album and it is a cherished possession of mine. I listened to it when it first came out back in the 80's and today it sounds just as great, meaningful, and hardhitting as it did then. Strummer as always gives us his "salt of the earth" performance like he did with the Clash. The lyrics are real cool and eclectic while the band forms a tight knit behind Joe's guitar playing. Zander, the lead guitarist lays down some very impressive work and being a guitar player of 20 plus years I know what I am talkin bout. This one has revved up rockers like Gangsterville as well as slower numbers like Island Hopping that will make you want to get on a boat and go sailing in the Bahamas or something. Tons of soul baby! This is the missing link for Clash, Strummer fans, so get it if you can. Expensive isn't it? I'm not selling my copy!

5 out of 5 stars Joe Strummer's GREATEST solo effort.......2005-01-21

I guess the reason why I love "Earthquake Weather" more than Strummer's other post Clash releases, is that it was so Clash-like. Whereas Strummer's other solo efforts with the Mescaleros went off in a new and innovative fashion, Earthquake weather had that rebellious Clash sound. Every song is well crafted, there are no throwaway songs on this album, which I think makes it more consistent than his other three solo efforts. Moreover, many of the songs on this album are right up there with the best of Clash songs, such as "Jewelers and Bums" and the great opening track. Great album by one of the greatest musical icons of all-time.

4 out of 5 stars Down in Gangsterville.......2004-03-19

This is Joe's first release since 1985's awful Cut the Crap, he's back with a new band, The Latino Rockabilly War, they had been playing for a couple years togethar before this albums release making a few songs for films such as "Trash City" and "Baby the Trans" though these to songs are great they don't appear on this album.
Track one is Gangsterville, you can kinda see this track as the song between The Clash and Joe's work with the Mescaleros, this track is a real rocker, possbily his best non-clash song?
The album is up there with anything he made with the Mescaleros, it is much harder edged, and Zander Scholoss guitar work is impressive. Its a shame this album didnt get the credit it deserved at the time and did flop. A mistake by the CBS? who knows
best cuts are "Gangsterville", "Ride your Donkey", "King of Bayou" and "Dizzys Goatee"
