Free Music Notes for London Calling
Free Music Review: London is drowning...
Hit: 5 Stars
London Calling took pun rock's "loud, fast, 'n' hard" aesthetic and turned it inside-out. From conception to execution, it's a blasphemous album. How else can you characterize a double LP full of stylistic variation, intelligent lyrics, raw musical skill, and concessions to mainstream accessibility that also happens to be a blindingly good punk record? Two years after the Sex Pistols, the game had already changed beyond recognition. Of course, the important thing about London Calling (or any album, for that matter) is the songs. Great albums are made out of great songs, and by that measure London Calling is pure gold. The first half plays like a greatest hits collection, full of such spastic classics as the title track, "Jimmy Jazz," "Spanish Bombs," "Lost In The Supermarket," and "Guns Of Brixton." Those first ten tracks see the Clash piling masterpiece on top of masterpiece, creating a series of flawless musical moments without so much as stopping for breath. The second half slows things down a bit, but the standard of quality is still generally high. "Train In Vain (Stand By Me)" and "Lover's Rock" see to that. Classic rock 'n' roll. Gotta have it.Free Music Review: If I were left with only 5 CDs for the rest of my life...

For me this was THE best Clash LP ever, bought from Woolworth back in the day as a real vinyl record, and again years later as a CD, it has stood the test of time.
Each and every track is superb. It's a work that shows just how intelligent and musical these guys really were, not just angry young men wanting a "riot of my own", or the self indulgent muzos of Sandinista that was a wash out.
Free Music Review: a classic

Here's how good this album is: I already owned these songs as MP3s. I just had to have the CD too. There are few albums with 20 songs. Of those that do have 20 songs, none I can think of have as many *good* songs as this one does.Free Music Review: Ruby

The ''White Album'' for the nomadic period following psychedelia and before MTV. You could say this was a conceptual album, but there were l9 different concepts to with the l9 different songs. Still, 3O years later the title track is just as relavant now as it was then, if not more 'coz it was way ahead of it's time.
