Free Music Review: What else could be said about this record??? Se puede decir algo m?s?
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a major record in the history of rock and roll, a must have in every decent record collection. If you don't have it, buy it now. Excellent mix of reggue bits, like the guns of brixton, with some great punk rock like the very same london calling. Music, lyrics, all is good in this record.
Este es un disco fundamental en la historia del rock, algo que debe estar presente en cualquier colecci?n m?s o menos decente. Una excelente mezcla entre reggue como guns of brixton y punk como el mismisimo london calling. Ambos ritmos (regue y punk) tienen muchos puntos de contacto en cuanto pol?tica, contenido y actitud, as? que esta mezcla (como en the police) era algo que naturalmente debia suceder. Este disco por tanto representa sociol?gica y musicalemnte una fotograf?a de un momento hist?rico. Compralo, escuchalo, disfrutalo y recomiendaselo a quien m?s cari?o le tangas!

0kay. Maybe this CD isent what you would call "Punk". But who cares. It is an awesome cd. There is not one song on there that i dont like. My Favrites would have to be "Im not Down" "Clampdown" "Death or Glory" .. If you like the clash. you will like this CD. and if your one of those people that call yourselfs "punk" and dont like this CD just because its doesnt sound punk. get over your image. and listen to the words.This is a great CD.Free Music Review: what are you people taking?

this cd is ALRIGHT at best...sure there are some good tracks, especially the last one BUT...THIS IS NOT PUNK! this is happy type music or something i dunno what this is. there are no crazy guitar riffs or heavy drumming. and the album cover, what a mislead; when you see a guy getting ready to smash a guitar you think, wow, this music is so insanely crazy wild and good that the band member couldnt help but to smash his guitar to let some frustration out...but wait til you hear it, then ur like...uh this could be played as a grade school graduation ceremony.Free Music Review: A true landmark in the rock era

For years, I was unsure of how I felt about this album. As a classic rock afficionado first and foremost, this was never a favorite of mine. But the advent of more serious punk in the last couple of years has led me to revisit this album, and I'm now thoroughly convinced that this is one of rock's greatest all-time moments.
Looking back, I can see that my early dismissal of this album was actually the feeling of the threat the Clash represented. When this album was released in 1980, FM radio was devoted mainly to classic rock and music fans had seen many artists in that genre elevate to god-like status. Over their first two albums, although relevant and topical, the Clash's musical style was stereotypical of their forerunners, the Stooges, the Ramones, and the Sex Pistols, and didn't seem to offer too much else musically. But "London Calling" was a revelation. Throughout the album there exists a stunning variance of styles, from angry marches, to rockabilly, to breezy pop, to punk, to reggae, and on and on and on. The topics got more varied as well, ranging more seriously into British social problems and protests against the governments of the world.
At this point in time, a punk band had never been bold enough to seriously tackle the issues of the day, let alone adapt their musical style to broaden their audience. The Clash was the first "punk" band to become recognized as serious artists, and this wouldn't reoccur until Green Day released "American Idiot" nearly 25 years later. That should serve as satisfactory proof that this album was truly visionary and light years ahead of its time.
Free Music Review: One of the greatest albums of all time
Hit: 5 Stars
This is one of the best ever, of any genre. If you like punk rock, you have to have this. I'm really at a loss when trying to explain the album - there simply are no words. Even the picture on the cover is perfect. Even the colors are perfect. There may be other albums that I like as much, but none that I like better.
Just listen to the clips, or borrow it from someone you know to hear it, then you'll buy it. If you don't have any friends who own this album, you need new friends.
