It's also the one that the band doesn't like to talk about, and not without good reason: the album was heavily plagued by poor production and a ton of infighting, and frontman Joe Strummer was reportedly depressed and demotivated enough in the wake of its release to call it quits with the Clash in 1986, not long after its release.Things weren't going well even when the album was being recorded. Almost all of the original lineup had been dropped due to the various problems that dogged them, and Bernie Rhodes had been brought back as the band's manager; Rhodes would ultimately bear the blame for the resulting backlash that the album had, as he was the one that tried to take full control of what the album should be like, let alone its production. Strummer wasn't happy with this power-grasping; the recording sessions were said to have been highly intense, to the point where he planned to name the album Out of Control as a Take That! towards the situation before Rhodes overruled him and stuck Cut the Crap atop the record sleeve. In the end, Strummer ended up writing most of the songs, while Rhodes kept his grip on the album's production.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The album produced two singles: "This is England" and "Are You Red..Y".Tracklist: Side One "Dictator" (3:00) "Dirty Punk" (3:10) "We are the Clash" (3:03) "Are You Red..Y" (3:02) "Cool under Heat" (3:22) "Movers and Shakers" (3:02) Side Two "This is England" (3:51) "Three Card Trick" (3:09) "Play to Win" (3:08) "Fingerpoppin'" (3:25) "North and South" (3:32) "Life is Wild" (2:39)Principal Members:
