Free Music Notes for Combat Rock
Free Music Review: Mortal Combat
Hit: 2 Stars
Da vidimo, sta je na ovom albumu vredno paznje? Hmmm, Should I Stay Or Should I Go, Rock The Casbah, Straight To Hell i Ghetto Defendant, i to je to od ukupno 12 pesama. Ostatak, brzo se zaboravlja i nestaje. Sumnjam da ikom osim najvecih The Clash fanova ovaj album moze da se svidi.Free Music Review: Combat Rock VS Nimrod
Hit: 4 Stars
And now, forward to Halloween 1997. Combat Rock vs Nimrod. After the teen-punk 90s scene faded, the teenagers were replaced by slightly younger teens but the adults remained. The 2 Nimrod men jump off, grab out a whole pile of Nimrod stickers and mummify Combat Rock. One year later, the 2 groups return, Nimrod's still standing, Combat Rock has been reduced to a mere stamp. Coming soon: Sandnista VS WarningFree Music Review: What fun!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Look...this album kicks! Forget the reject pseudo-crtics out there who think punk is some form of art or expression. This is the MOST fun album I've ever listened to. It's a total one-man party album. So...all you lonely stiffs like me, go out and grab a fresh case of cheap beer and enjoy what is pure unadulterated fun. And recycle. Or just shoot the cans in you neighbors back yard.Free Music Review: amazing
Hit: 5 Stars
I usually hate it when people cry "underrated!!" like it's going to do anything, but I feel that "Combat Rock" (as well as "Sandinista") deserve the complaint.
The first Clash record I seriously fell in love with was "Sandinista." It was wildly experimental, fun, and almost always consistently interesting. It was after that album that I started listening to their more appreciated work (the two albums -- you know which ones).
What stopped me from listening to this album was the surplus of negative reviews and opinions attached to it. People seem to like it even less than "Sandinista," and there are a lot of people who find that triple album repulsive.
But I finally gave it a listen. "Know Your Rights" sounds like a tossed off one-note experiment at first. I was a bit disappointed. But by "Car Jamming," something happened.
I really, really liked it! It's so catchy and weird at the same time. In fact, that goes for the entire album, minus the more "normal" hits -- catchy and absolutely weird. (Sell out? Pfft.) Take the last track for example. "Death Is a Star." Does that even sound like the Clash?
No, not really. In fact, not at all. But for what it is, it's not half bad! That's the beauty of The Clash circa "Sandinista!" and "Combat Rock" -- they tried so many genres and almost always succeeded in some various way. And if they didn't, it was at least an interesting failure.
This one is like "Sandinista!" edited down to a single disc, making it an extremely cohesive album. In fact, it's probably their most cohesive album. Even more so than the perfection of "London Calling."
Hell, even the hits ("Should I Stay or Should I Go" and "Rock the Casbah") are great. They're not as overplayed as some on here make them out to be.
Every single song has something to offer. "Inoculated City" is perfect pop, "Overpowered by Funk" is The Clash doing (good) disco, "Ghetto Defendant" is an interesting mess of tense drumming, seemingly computerized voices and tight rhythms.
And last but certainly not least, we get "Straight to Hell" on here. What's not to like?
Free Music Review: Ignore The "Cool" People
Hit: 5 Stars
I love the Clash. Everything they put out is brilliant especially Sandanista and this. "Innoculated City" is so awesome I can't belive nobody mentions this song. It is catchy beyond belief and sums up the Clash's manifesto of life in all its joy. That song alone is worth the price of admission, but there is so much more. "Rock The Casbah" and "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" are timeless classics. "Ghetto Defendant", "Car Jamming", "Death Is A Star", "Atom Tan" and "Straight To Hell" are killer songs that every Clash fan has to hear. Even filler like "Overpowered By Funk", and "Red Angels Of Dragnet" are entertaining. The only flaws are the music for "Know Your Rights", which has the best lyrics ever written, but godawful musical support and that awful Sean Flynn song. This album is criminally underrated and to me stands proudly alongside their other work. A masterpiece.
