Free Music Review: Still Underwhelming After All These Years
Hit: 2 Stars
After hearing all the hype about the Clash I bought this when it came out. After all these years I'm still monumentally underwhelmed. I'm glad I persisted and before long picked up their first album, but once you get past the first song here, the powerful "Safe European Home", the remainder ranges from adequate to unremarkable. The best of the rest might be "Julie's Been Working For The Drug Squad" which was catchy enough and helped to break the redundancy of the band's sound.
A complete Clash library could be assembled from some combination of the first album "The Clash", the CD "Super Black Market Clash", and one of the best of's that cherry picks the highlights from the rest of the band's career. You know, those 80s years when they pandered their sound in pursuit of gaining the favor of the mainstream American teenager. If you're downloading tracks, just grab "Safe European Home"; that one number blasts out of the box like a prize horse leaving the gate. The rest of this album is as moribund as the dead cowboy on the cover.
Give 'em Enough Rope Poster
Despite the tepid production by metal guru Sandy Pearlman, the Clash's sophomore album, Give 'Em Enough Rope, manages to burn with white-hot intensity. Though not as amateurish or snarling as their debut album, Rope finds the boys flexing their songwriting muscles. The first three songs ("Safe European Home," "English Civil War," and "Tommy Gun") stand among their most powerful and leap from the record with brute force. Though they hit a few clunkers ("Cheapskates"), this album is a near classic and gives a hint of the band to come that would light up the world with London Calling. --Tod NelsonAlternative Rock Music CDs
